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.
