Graphic commentary
ChessBase uses coloured arrows and squares to illustrate tactical points and make strategic themes and plans more clear. The graphic elements are entered using a combination of mouse and keyboard:
Mark square green, draw green arrow |
Press Alt key and click square or draw line from a to b. |
Mark square red, draw red arrow |
Press Alt + Shift and click square or draw line from a to b. |
Mark square yellow, draw yellow arrow |
Press Alt + Ctrl and click square or draw line from a to b. |
If you draw a line with the same colour again you erase it.
The graphic commentary is stored together with the game and appears automatically during replay.
