Extended book options

 

   Search games displays a list of all games of the Database in which the current board position occurred.

 

   Sort allows you to resort the list according to different criteria (number of games, percentage, Elo average and performance).

 

   Delete whole tree removes the tree from your hard disk.

 

   Weed tree removes moves which were played in very few games.

 

   Remove book marks takes out all the evaluation symbols that encourage or discourage the program in its choice of lines.

 

   Allow move adding makes it possible to add moves to the tree by executing them on the board.

 

   Properties allows you to set certain display options, like “unplayed transpositions” (moves that have not been actually played, but which lead to another known position) and “retro moves” (moves leading to this position from other positions in the trees).

 

   Choose font allows you to set a different font and size for the tree.

 

   Close closes the tree window (the book remains active). Click View – “Extra Book Pane” or Ctrl-Alt-B to reactivate the window.
