Problem: A further problem has cropped up with ChessBase which was not present in ChessBase 10. Specifically, in ChessBase14 I have set up various databases (Megabase 2017 as my reference database, a correspondence chess database, various databases of my own for other tournaments, etc. ). Now, e.g., I would like to search for a position from one of my own games not in the reference database, but in the correspondence chess database or in another database.

 

How can that option be achieved?

Answer:  You can, for example, carry out the desired search as follows.

 

Start the board window with the desired position on the board. Leave that window open and change to the database window.

 

Right click on the database which is to be searched. Now choose from the context menu “Search”.

 

In the search mask change to the tab “Position”. There you will find the entry “Copy board”.

 

 

 

After this has been activated, you will see that the program calls up the actual board position and considers it as the search criterion. A click on OK and the search is then executed.
