ChessBase uses coloured arrows and squares to illustrate tactical points and make strategic themes and plans more clear.
The color palette for annotation has been extended with the present program version.
To clarify constellations of forces on the chessboard you can set graphic comments. Graphic comments are squares or arrows marked in different colors on the chessboard. The current version offers an extended color selection compared to previous versions. A total of six different color combinations are now available.
All available options for graphical comments are shown in the screenshot below.
The graphic elements are entered using a combination of mouse and keyboard:
