So if you search for Kasparov and you don't give a color, he will search for Kasparov playing with NO color. Search resault SERO ! If you input BLACK and WHITE and forget to switch the operand from AND to OR, you will search for Kasparov playing with white against KAsparov playing with black. Search result again SERO. Please consider about this in a secret minute , and after you understood it. Try again ! It is very logical to me , although it is not very intuitively. The programmer who has invented it was not a chess-player....maybe this explains why he did not copied it all from ChessBase, but invented his own wheel.
