clicks will just place a stone on the board. In this case, you can place a stone and start a search at the same time by<br />

double-clicking.<br />

Check the fixed color checkbox to disable searching for patterns where black/white are exchanged. Use the Next option<br />

to specify that either player or black or white should move next in the selected area.<br />

In the game info search window, you see entry fields for the search criteria: white/black player, player, event, etc. If<br />

you select the ‘Referenced’ option, only games with a reference to a commentary will be shown. The “clear” button<br />

clears all entries; the back and forward buttons restore the entries from previous searches. Unlike the back button for<br />

pattern searches, they do not change the game list. Last but not least, there is the button to start a search; you can also<br />

start the search by pressing Enter in one of the entry fields.<br />

The Go to: field makes it easy to find specific games in the game list quickly. The ‘Go to’ entry always works with<br />

respect to the current sort criterion. Let’s assume that you sorted the database by date. Then entering something in the<br />

‘Go to’ field will jump to the closest game in the game list the date of which starts with what you entered.<br />

2.6.1 Date profile of the database<br />

The Date profile tab shows you how the games which are currently in the game list are distributed over time. The<br />

height of each bar shows the proportion of games in the current game list with respect to all games in the database<br />

in the same time period. Say you do a pattern search, and then select the date profile tab. If one bar is twice as high<br />

as another one, then this means that in the first time period the pattern was played twice as much as in the second<br />

one. The height of the bars does not contain information about the absolute number of games in the current game<br />

list. However, these numbers are printed above the bars (number of games in current list/number of games in whole<br />

database).<br />

Computing the date profile is pretty slow (much slower than a pattern search), so you should keep this tab open only<br />

as long as you are really interested in the results.<br />

2.6.2 Tags<br />

You can tag games in order to find them more easily and to carry through more complicated searches.<br />
