Replaying, entering and saving games
You replay games in the board window after you load them from a games list with a
double-click or the enter key.
Click in the notation window to jump to any position. Use the cursor keys to play
forward and backward. Or click on the navigation buttons below the board:
If the replay arrows are not visible, right-click below the board to switch them on. The
white arrows in the green circle navigate in the game history. The stop arrows lead to
the begin/end of the current variation. The single arrows go forwards/backwards move
by move. The red undo button in the center cancels the last move entered.
ChessBase has a new, intuitive way to navigate games. The slider below the board
can be dragged or clicked, as in a media player, to get to different parts of the game
very quickly. This is especially useful in long, commented games. You can install the
slider by using the menu right-clicking the board and using Board Design -> Slider.
You enter moves with the mouse or by typing the coordinates ("e2e4"). You can
annotate a game with variations, text, chess symbols and many other special features
like colored arrows.
While you replay or enter a game, you can start an analysis engine for move
suggestions and evaluations.
When you are done entering and annotating a game, you save it into an existing or
new database.
