Compare game to repertoire
With a game loaded in the board window right-click a position and use Search in
Repertoire. ChessBase will open a search result window and list all games from your
repertoire database in which the position occurred. The same command is to be found
in the Tools menu, and you can press Shift-Ctrl-Alt-F to execute it.
Searching for repertoire games
With a repertoire database it is easy to search for games that match this repertoire.
Simply call up the search mask (Ctrl-F) and click In repertoire. This will retrieve all
games in a database which are relevant to your repertoire. Remember that you can
also click a directory with many databases or in fact an entire partition of your hard
disk and use the search mask to find all repertoire games there.
The repertoire scan
This function is a quick and elegant way to find out what’s new in your openings
systems. Let us assume you have just received a delivery of new games, e.g. an
Internet download or the latest issue of ChessBase Magazine. Click File – New –
Repertoire scan. ChessBase will generate a report of all games which are important for
your repertoire. The report is a database text with separate sections for each of the
repertoire lines. The games are given as links and can be clicked for instant load and
replay. They are sorted by player Elo and degree of annotation.
Note that you can best view very dense repertoire games by switching to table
notation, and you can print them out nicely using the print repertoire option.
3.6.14.1.1 Creating a Repertoire Database
ChessBase makes it easy for the user to create a repertoire database. This is a
collection of annotated games or variations that are used as the basis of a personal
opening repertoire. The systematic upkeep of your own repertoire is an essential part
of your preparation.
First you must create a repertoire database manually. To do this you must have a
database that only contains games and variations that are part of your repertoire. To
define a database as a repertoire database right click on a database and select
Properties. Then tick the box Repertoire Database.
