End-of-game variations in ChessBase 9

By Steve | May 10, 2008

My previous post had a number of variations that explored possible continuations following the last move of the game. ChessBase 9 unfortunately makes it pretty difficult to do this. For my future reference, and to possibly help others, here is Mig Greengard’s workaround:

At the last move, press T and enter any random move as a new variation. Then promote that move to be the main line. That makes the real last move of the game a variation. Now with the last move of the new (spurious) main line selected, press T and enter the real last move again. Now you will have the real last move twice as variations. Promote one of them to be the main line, delete the spurious variation and there you have it.
