So the key can be used to classify new games or even a completely different
database.
The classification keys for themes, strategy, tactics and endgames can all be viewed
by clicking tabs in the list window. When you classify a database each game is
examined to see whether it matches all the search criteria in the theme keys.
If you right-click an entry in a theme key and select Edit (F2) you will get the
search mask that defines the key. You can change it to modify the criteria for games
to be classified into that key.
If you load a game from a theme key the program will jump to the position that led
to the match (if that is possible).
I want to transfer a thematic classification key that I have created myself to
another database.
Unfortunately, this only works with opening keys. The “Transfer” option cannot be
selected from the thematic key context menu. Transfers don’t work for any other keys
(other than opening keys). The program does not support the transfer of thematic
keys.
2.1.3.15 Endgame Classification
There is a new menu "Endga m e s" under the Games option in the database window.
This adds an endgame classification to the games in a database.
The endgame key can be found in the folder "D o cum e nts \ C he s s B a s e \ Ke y ".
The classification is not entered in the key, but in the game itself. There is a new
column "Endgame", in which the longest endgame in the list can be seen, for instance
RB-RN. This column can also be sorted.
The classification is used in the openings overview and in the player report. There is a
new item called "Endga m e s":
The most common endgames in the list of games is displayed, as well as the deviation
as a percentage from the games in the reference database.
Apart from this the deviation from the lengths of the endgames in the reference
database is displayed.
RB-RN (+8.9) means that the endgame RB-RN occurs about 9% more often than in the
complete database.
This is an indication of factors such as a certain opening position leading to a
particular endgame, or a player preferring a particular endgame.
