Let's use a Classic Game from the Library as an example. After loading the
Classic Game in the Library:

1) Go to the Game Room
2) Use the "Edit -> Copy Game From -> Library" menuitem.

That's all that's required. The game will immediately be copied into the Game
Room and you can treat it like any other game. Copying a game that wasn't
actually PLAYED (or modified) inside Chessmaster will automatically assume that
it is a human vs. human game with Infinite time control.

The process for the Database is almost identical. Just select the (ONE) game
from the database that you want to copy, go to the Game Room and copy the game.
If you select multiple games, then whichever of those games that are selected is
the one that you last clicked on will be the one copied.

So, it's NOT a "copy/paste" kind of procedure a la other Windows programs. It's
just a single copy.
