Explorer tutorial
Moves explorer
Once you have loaded the games by nochetodbload executable,
you can see the moves in the moves explorer. You can enable/disable it
by the viewexplorer (ve) command.
The first colum shows all the moves played in the current position.
The second column shows how many times that move was played (how many games are in the explorer database with that position).
The third column shows the move evaluation in centipawns (positive is better for white, negative is better for black).
The last three colums show the % of wins for white, the % of draws and the % of wins for black
(the sum might not be 100% as some games might be without any result).
The first line shows the best move for the current position and its evaluation.
You might ask, why is the evaluation 0, but it is 44 in the moves list? That is because
the first number was evaluated by the engine on the current position, while the second number
was evaluated after the move was played The more time you let the engine (nochetodbeval)
evaluate the positions, the smaller should be the difference.
Games explorer
The games explorer shows you the games saved in the database. You can enable/disable it
by the viewgamesexplorer (ve) command.
You can list through the games, open the games, delete them etc. by using
theirs ID (identification number) which is the first number on the row.
For example, to open the game between Morphy and Anderssen shown in the
picture above, you can use
the explore command: explore 11.
