I think it was designed to speed up the >input of large numbers of games from paper (scoresheets etc.). "Heumas" is short for "HEUristic Move ASsistant". It is present in Chessbase 7 (maybe 6?) and Fritz 6/Junior 6. It is not present in earlier Chessbase GUI's (F5/J5/H7/...), they only have the simpler version (which, BTW, does not only work if there's only one possible move for the click, it also includes automatic recapturing, i.e. if White made a capturing move and you click on any piece that can legally recapture, it will do so even if it has other legal moves). --- Shep
