If you click on the tab Players in the games list the Player Index is opened, the list of all players who are stored in the database.

 

The players index is sorted alphabetically.

 

You can use the Player Index to get an immediate overview of all the chess activities of the selected player. The Player Index is divided into three windows, which are also divided into columns to make it easier to refine the information. You can adapt the information in all three windows by turning individual columns on or off. Please refer to the notes in this documentation about sorting columns in list views.

 

 

In the left window there is a list of all the players who have played games in the current database. Clicking on the column header Name sorts the list alphabetically.

 

At the bottom of the window there is an input field. Enter the first letters of a player’s name.

 

A player with this name is displayed. In this example above a player is displayed with the name "Karpov Anatoly".

 

Select the entry in the list view. In the games window all games are listed played by Anatoly Karpov, and in the tournament window all the tournaments are listed in which Anatoly Karpov took part. The lists can be adapted by sorting the columns to find the information you are looking for.

 

Tip: The input field also sorts player names that begin with small letters.

 

You can close the games list or tournaments list panes by right-click close. To reopen them, use menu View. You can rearrange the window panes in the usual fashion with the splitter bars.

 

If you select more than one game of a player in the Player Index, this dialog will allow you to edit the name in all games:
