Fritz 21 Handbook

Move entry and variation dialog

Move entry for the notation has now been considerably simplified. The variation dialog appears less often, and when you enter an alternative move in the notation a variation is now almost always created directly - without the variation dialog. Only on the last move does the variation dialog always appear, since experience shows that input errors are frequently corrected at this point.

Tip: via Start - Undo you can undo the changes you have made.

Variation dialog

You start the variation dialog by holding down the CTRL key during move entry.

New variation - the move entered becomes the first move of a variation.

New main variation - the move entered becomes the main variation. The previous main variation then appears as a variation.

Overwrite - all following moves and variations are deleted.

Insert - all following moves and variations that remain legal after the move entered are preserved.
