available to consult about the current position:
· Database - the whole database is presented as a tree of moves available together with the statistics
from the database itself. This source has the powerful automatic filter option, see the Database source
section for details.
· Filter - the current database filter is presented as a tree of moves with statistics from those filtered
games only. This source is useful to examine player or opponent opening repertoires or specific
openings or any other filter you can create, see the Filter source section for details.
· Local opening book - the local opening book included is built on Grandmaster games and you can
see the moves and statistics for those moves played in Grandmaster games. Only established moves

book with the latest moves and statistics presented. Book subscribers get access to additional online
opening book content.
