How can I find annotated games which correspond to a specific ECO key?

 

In the database window mark the database which contains the annotated games. A right click on the database symbol starts a context menu which gives you the possibility to start the search mask immediately.

 

In the search mask you have to enter the required criteria. As a first step start the tab “Game data” and fill in the ECO code which applies to the games, here we have chosen B01.

 

As a second step you can determine in the search mask which comments are to be taken into account. For that click on the tab “Annotations”,

 

The parameters chosen in our example will search only for variations, textual commentary and training questions.

 

So you highlight the game entry directly in the games list and play through the games with the desired search criteria.

 

Tip: With Chessbase you can save the pre-defined search criteria permanently for future use!
