In this final part on web publishing with ChessBase 12, you will learn how to publish several games with a drop-down menu, as well as learn some tips on presenting just parts of games, combinations, studies, and more.
Publishing several games with a drop-down menu
Open a base where the games are saved, and highlight the ones you want to
publish. Just click on them with your mouse, while holding the Ctrl key pressed.
The right-click on one and select Output and then Publish to Web
A pop-up will appear. If you want to quickly publish them and just give a link,
select One Click Publication and provide the link (as here). Otherwise select
Create a HTML file.
Just as with one game, open the HTML file in an HTML editor, your browser (right-click
and select "View page source") or even Notepad. The HTML code you want to copy to
include in your page is located between <body> and </body>. Copy it and then paste
it where you would like the replayer and game to appear.
The end result, without the ads, will look like this:

Advanced tips
Sometimes what you really want is to just show a key moment of a game, or just a combination. What is the best way?
Publishing part of a game
For a game excerpt, the trick is simply to remove the moves before or after, and this is incredibly easy with ChessBase 12.
In the game, go to the key move where it all starts or all ends. Right-click on
the move, select Delete, and then Delete Previous Moves or Delete Remaining
Moves. If you remember the keyboard shortcuts [ and ] it is very quickly done.
After that, follow the same procedure as above to publish a game.
The result might look like this:

Combinations, studies, and problems
Suppose however, you want to present a combination or a study, and don't want to spoil it by showing the solution immediately? The answer is: publish the pure diagram with the caption, and keep the solutions seperate, or at the bottom using the replayer. Here is a sample idea:
Set up the position or go to the point in the game you want to save as a diagram.
Then go to File (top left), Save, and Save position. Be warned the diagram will
correspond to the board size.
If you want to save a smaller diagram, you need to shrink the board before saving
First post the diagram such as here, with the caption. White
to play and Black to draw. Solution here.
If you read the previous parts, you understood how that linked solution was done.
Indeed, just select File, then Publish on Web, and when the pop-up appears,
choose One Click Publication. The page will open and the URL is your solution.
Otherwise, you can perfectly well embed the javascript replayer at the end:
