It's just class. But please read what I wrote directly to Peter and then please
get what it means. We have here not a weak CB feature but a chess based
normality with not yet the final ECO code. With how many searches you will solve
this for a mainly still opening position? I explained how you can do it. I
repeat: you go into database search and then search for position and then enter
"board" you had when you had entered the line. THEN yxou find exactly this
position but it's not the same search than then one out of the board window
while replaying a game. That was my research result as always with class. I
apologize for so much class. I know that you have class too!!! :)
