4.7.6 Consult window

This window will show you data of the encyclopedia you have loaded. The width and number of lines are flexible.

Depending on the number of lines and the width of the window you have defined, you will be supplied with information.

The first line(s) will contain the possible next move(s) that are found in the encyclopedia. Example from the beginning of a game:

"e2e4 116 130 71 (57,1%) 317 2594 2644 0.11 E40 King's Pawn"
where

• e2e4 means of course: possible move in the current board position.
• 116 130 71 (57,1%) 317 means: 116 games that played are won, 130 ended as a draw and 71 were lost, resulting in a score of 57.1% of the 317 games where e2e4 was played;
• 2594 2644 means: the average ELO rating of the players that played this move was 2594, after these games they had obtained an average ELO rating of 2644;
• 0.11 means: score that Rebel gives to this move.
• E40: the ECO code of the opening in the range from A00-E99
• King's pawn: The ECO description opening name.

The second set of lines contains again the specific move(s) and an overview of how many times the world's strongest and well-known chess players used it. This (besides the % and quick Rebel score) is your main guide to judge if a move is good enough to play. Bottom line, if Kasparov has played a move 11 times then it is logical to assume the move is ok!
