Hold down the SHIFT key and select each of the databases you wish to search. Then click on the "binoculars" button to open the Search Mask. Click the "Reset all" button. Click the "Position" button, and click "Get board". The last board position from the last game you were in (i.e. the board position you either set up or played through the moves to get to) will appear on the position search board. Click "OK" to return to the Search Mask. Click "OK" in the Search Mask. CB6 will then search the databases you selected and put the games it finds on the Clipboard. BTW -- always click "Reset all" before performing a search. This resets the Search Mask to its defaults and removes old search criteria from previous searches.
