Preparing for an opponent


Answer

One of the most important options of the search functions is the preparation for an opponent. ChessBase offers a range of options to do that. One of the most efficient and fastest options is to use the reference database to create a dossier about your opponent.

Search for a surname and select/open the reference database (Megabase) and go to “Players”.

Enter name and surname of your possible opponent into the search bar at the bottom.

The names of various players appear in the list.

Select the name you want, right-click with the mouse and select "Dossier".

Now the program creates a tree and a report about the games of this player.

Instead of "Dossier" there is also the option "Prepare against White" or "Prepare against Black".

This option lists only the games — and merges them into a tree — your potential opponent played with White (or Black). In both cases you only need a few mouse-clicks to know the opening preferences of your potential opponent against your own opening repertoire.
