Playing through games

 

The mouse can be used to play quickly through a game you have loaded. In order for this to work, the option must be selected among the list of options.

 

 

The setting “Mouse Wheel executes moves” does this.

Assisted Analysis

In Assisted Analysis the mouse wheel also has important functions.

 

Load a game and test this in a middlegame position.

 

This example is taken from the famous game Paulsen – Morphy 1857.

 

Morphy sacrificed the queen with 17 …Qxf3.

 

 

If in this position you roll the mouse wheel back and forward over the last piece to move, Assisted Analysis marks with a decent green circle the best piece to move in that situation.

 

 

Like that the mouse wheel gives a decent hint as to the best possible continuations when you are playing through games.
