Exporting diagrams from ChessBase 14

Method 1: Save and insert a diagram as a picture

First, you put the position which you want to turn into a diagram onto your screen, either by playing through a game or by creating the position by hand (press the key "s" on your keyboard).

A position from a famous game by unknown players.

Then go to the menu, select File→Save→Save Position.

Now you have to choose how and where to save the picture of the diagram, that is you have to choose the format of the picture file and the directory in which you want to save it.

Saving a diagram as picture file creates an exact copy of the diagram, including colours, arrows, etc. Of course, you can edit the diagram like any other picture, e.g. making it larger, smaller or changing it in other ways.

Method 2: Diagrams and text processing

It is also possible to convert diagrams into a text. Again, you first have to call up (or create) the position you want to export as a diagram.

Now go to "Home" and select "Copy Position". This copies the position to the clipboard.

Switch to your text processing program to insert the diagram from the clipboard into your text. Here's an example how this might look like:
