Among them, briefly: 1) ALWAYS click the "reset all" button before starting a new search (this is the most common problem -- somebody does a search for an offbeat opening and forgets to reset the search mask, then types in a player name for a new search. The old search criteria are still there from the previous search, so they wind up looking for all of Fischer's Grob games as White). 2) Make sure you're typing Kasparov in the left-hand box (the search mask works like a phone book -- last name first, first name last). 3) Make sure you've capitalized the K in Kasparov (the search mask is case-sensitive). 4) Make sure you're in the correct database (that you haven't accidentally selected a different database than the one you intended to search. 5) Make sure the program is refueled. -- Steve Lopez
