Subject: Chessbase 8 - Side to move question

Author: Bob Bachman

I have been using Chessbase 8 for some time and when I replay a game it does not
appear to be possible to see which side is to move unless one has the Notation
window open. Ok just a minor annoyance.

However when solving puzzles loaded from set positions this is annoying because
the solution is then present in the Notation tab of the Notation window. The
best solution I have found is to have the Training tab of the Notation window
open and look for something like 1.  or 1... for white or black to move
respectively.

Other programs (chessmaster 9000, arena) have dots beside the board to signify
whose move it is. This is nice when the move list is hidden. I have looked in
vain for an option to do something like this with Chessbase 8 (or for that
matter in Fritz 8). The help file has not been of use to me. Am I missing
something easy here or does someone have an alternative suggestion.
