Click Insert – Variations – Reorder variations. The variations will be reorganized on
the basis of chess criteria. The most important continuations become the main

3.1.29 Tipp Merging Games
A user would like to insert comments and variations and then merge multiple games to
get an overall variation tree, but unfortunately, the initial moves have been played in
many different orders to allow for uniformity.
How can you avoid unwanted variations being shown in the tree when merging games?
You have to return to the initial starting position (i.e. the very start of the game) and
input the desired move order as a variation. You can then go to the start of the
variation, and select “Replace moves” from the “Insert” -> “Variations” menu.

3.1.30 Replace game
In all previous versions of the program (up to and including version 13) a difference was made
between “ Sa ve” and “ Repla ce”.
This procedure has been changed with ChessBase 14.
When you saved in previous programs, the modified version of the game was added to the
end of the database list. Replacing changed the game notation without duplicating the game.
This way of working does not fit in with the Windows standard and with the procedures which
users know from other Windows programs.
For that reason a radical step has now been taken starting from version 14 and the routine for
