Use clipboard


Answer

ChessBase 17 offers an interesting feature to quickly view game notations or chess positions from the Internet. Game notations are published on the Internet with the Ascii based PGN format, for chess positions the also pure text based FEN format is used.

Let's assume you find one or more interesting games/positions while researching on the net, which you simply copy to the clipboard while reading or alternatively "collect" with an open text editor. If you have ChessBase 17 open in parallel, select the game notation/position and copy it to the Windows clipboard with the key combination Ctrl-C.

The game notation is now transferred to the board window, can be replayed, edited or saved.

You can perform the same procedure with position descriptions in text format, the FEN strings. Mark them on the website or in the text editor and then copy them to the Windows clipboard via CTRL-C.

This starts the "Position input" dialog and the position defined in the fen string is accepted.

Here you can also save or edit the entry.

So with ChessBase 17 you have a powerful tool to analyze and edit games/positions from the Internet quickly and with the usual comfort.
