The title bar shows the name of the book.

At the top left is 'N=', which shows the number of games in which the position has occurred..

To the right of it is the winning percentage of the position.

With the arrow down button you can quickly switch between recent books.

 

Move

Actual moves played are black and bold. Sometimes a move is gray. A gray move is never played, but leads to a position that results from some other line (tranpositions). Sometimes a move is black but not bold: this is the last move played (retro moves).

 

Games

Shows the number of games with the position after the move is executed.

 

Percentage

Shows the percentage score of the position after the move is executed. The percentage is always from the point of view of the color to play. To calculate the percentage, half the number of draws are added to the won games.

 

Statistics

The statistics split up the move in the number of won games, the number of lost games and the number of draws.

You can also view this data by adding the following columns: +Games, =Games, -Games, +Percentage, =Percentage and -Percentage.

 

Pieces and Squares

You can add the following columns: Pieces, Men, Kings and Squares. These columns show the number of captured pieces, the number of captured men, the number of captured kings, and the squares of the captured pieces.

 

Status Bar

The status bar shows the number of moves, the number of retro moves and the number or transpositions. In the fourth section the number of positions in the book is displayed.

 

When you double-click a move, or press Enter, it is added to the notation of the game. You can use arrow-up and arrow-down to select a move.
