Copy and paste game or positions
You can copy and paste Games and Positions between chess software using the Copy and Paste
submenus of the Edit menu.
To copy a game in the current tab, use the Edit->Copy->Game menu item, the game is then copied to the
clipboard. If you are copying from another chess software application please consult the manual/help for that
application on how to copy a game in PGN format.
To paste a game from the clipboard, use the Edit->Paste->Game menu item.
A position can be copied and pasted in the same way using the Edit->Copy->Position and Edit->Paste>Position menu items. Positions are copied in FEN format.
For more details please see the Edit menu section.
Merge game
One of the unique and powerful features of HIARCS Chess Explorer is the Merge game feature.
You can access Merge game from the Edit->Paste->Merge with current game menu item
This feature allows you to paste a game from the clipboard into the current game, merging the two games
together.
This enables you to analyse a game in multiple database contexts or even in other chess software and
merge your work at the end into one single game in HIARCS Chess Explorer. This allows you to collate all
your analysis from multiple sources into one game within the Game Notation. This is also useful if someone
else does some analysis for you and sends you the game you can easily merge the game with your own
work.
Copy filter and database games
HIARCS Chess Explorer allows you to copy all the games in the current filter or even the whole database of
games to another database in a very simple manner.
First ensure you open the database you want to copy the games from and the database you wish to copy
the games to. Go into the tab of the database you wish to copy from. If you want to set a filter of games to
copy you can do that in the normal way using the search and filter capabilities.
To copy and paste the games in one operation select the Edit->Copy->Games... menu item and you can
then copy either a single game, the current filter of games or the whole database into another database in
one operation.
Printing games
HIARCS Chess Explorer can print single or multiple games including commentary, variations and chess
diagrams.
File->Print submenu
Any loaded game can be printed simply by selecting the File->Print->Current game menu item. The game
can be printed directly to a printer or to a file.
You can set diagrams at any point in the game notation and the diagrams will be printed at that point in the
