the Live Book the most comprehensive and up to date source for openings theory. It is
possible to play against it, or simply use it to look up a variation.
The Live Book is live, because it continually changes from second to second. Every
position which is analysed by Let's Check is immediately entered into the Live Book!
This means that if a top level game is being played on the server and there are
kibitzers using Let's Check, as soon as the game is over deep engine analysis with
evaluations is available in the Live Book for all the moves in the game.
You can use the Live Book to get an impression of the quality of a continuation, which
is a valuable aid when replaying games.
If you click on a move in the Live Book, the move is made on the chess board.
Tip: When entering moves in a game you can save yourself many mouse clicks if you
enter the opening moves with the help of the Live Book. Clicking on "New Game" opens
an empty board window for entering moves. Clicking on the moves displayed in the
Live Book transfers the moves into the board window.
It is also possible to enter variations. Go back to the position where a variation should
start and make a different move on the chess board. There is no variation dialogue.
The new moves are immediately entered into the notation as a variation.
The information about the current board position is divided into columns.
Move: This shows all the possible moves in the position.
Games: This shows the number of games in which each move was played.
Result: This shows the success rate for each move from White's perspective.
Elo Avg: This shows the avarage Elo rating of the players in which each move was
made.
[ % ]: This shows the number of games in which each move was made as a
percentage.
Visits: This shows the number of times visitors have looked at the position resulting
from each move.
Sorting by columns
When a list is opened, for instance the games list or the Live Book, all the information
is divided into lists.
Clicking on a column header sorts the list by the data in this column. Clicking a second
time reverses the order.
Example: Clicking on Whit e in the games list sorts the games in alphabetical order.
Clicking a second time sorts the games in reverse alphabetical order. Clicking on Games
in the Live Book sorts the list by the most commonly played moves. Clicking a second
time sorts the list so that the least commonly played moves are first.
