When a game is saved a description text can be added to it, dependent on the default language. The dialog has been extended to take this into account.

 

Under the "Game Title" the text and the language in which it is to be displayed are input.

These texts can be used to quickly find certain types of games. The texts that you have created are listed in the game index and player index to reference games.

 

These texts are displayed when you click on the button "Special Titles" in the menu Player - Games - Tournament Index. This gives you the possibility to freely classify games however you want without having to access them via the player names. This gives you another way to quickly access games of a specific type.

New Index

 

Double clicking on a text entry opens a game list with the games that have this text description. Typical examples are "Mate in 3" or the difficulty level of training examples.

 

The new index is excellent for the easy classification and access of games which might be very difficult to filter with other options.

 

Tip: In the dialog there is a small question mark next to the pull down menu for the language selection. This makes it easy to be consistent in the way you describe the classifications.

 

Clicking on the question mark opens the dialog "Game Title".

Now choose the appropriate classification text and confirm it with OK. The game is now classified, and you can easily find it in the index because the text has been written consistently.
