ChessBase 14 offers in the form of “Tactical analysis” an extra function for automatically checking games for mistakes and tactical inaccuracies.

 

Board window – Analysis – Tactical analysis

 

Start

 

In addition the program adds comments and takes into account the following factors:

 

Opening theory

 

Tactical motifs such as strong moves, combinations, sacrifices and double attacks

 

Mistakes, things missed or other critical turning points within the game

 

Weak moves which were not played (why can I not take the piece?), often going on to give the tactical refutation

 

Threats and attacking motifs

 

Defensive ideas, initiative, attack, manoeuvres, endgame classification and illogical game results

 

You fix the settings in the dialog “Tactical analysis”.

 

Time settings

 

The entries are self-evident, the entry “Training” makes the program embed in the notation training questions, which are included when the game is played through. The thinking time should not be set too high so that the analysis can be carried out briskly.

 

On a fast modern computer you receive plausible and reliable results for this form of analysis even with short thinking times. Five to eight seconds per move put you on the safe side here.

 

Be aware that in the setup dialog the program makes a recommendation for the time setting.

 

The games are annotated with variations, text, diagrams and commentary symbols.

 

Result

 

With this function you can analyse in one go several games from a database.

 

Mark the games you wish to analyse in the games list with Ctrl + mouse click and then open the context menu with a right click.
