Hi,
Check you are plugged in, Instant Analysis does not work on battery power and gets grayed out. That may be the problem?

Instant Analysis no longer works.
The item is grayed. Maybe since 15.7

I assume ChessBase 15 generates this when it quickly analyses games when you open them. However, is this a standard PGN code, can other chess programs read it?


It's formatted as a comment, so it will not interfere with the normal workings for software unfamiliar with it. I doubt anything is supporting actually interpreting it at this point though as it appears to be a new "embedded command" format.

I've just installed CB 13 on my new computer, I do have CB 14 too, but never got around to using it, and it seems like this will also happen to CB 15.
A least now I have a version that works the way I expect it to and has normal title bars!
My favourite version  of ChessBase was actually 10, and then 12, I think, but you need a fairly recent version of ChessBase else the fantastic Online database search doesn't work.

Looking at the last set of PGN files I received, at the beginning is a new tag followed by lots of numbers, like:
Code
Select All
{[%evp 0,96,30,30,22,1,30,2,2,-9,-3,-44,23,23,21,32,41,37,44,23,22,18,26,11,22,
-4,0,-1,8,7,7,14,9,5,16,8,38,16,22,19,25,54,19,19,22,22,22,20,20,20,24,-18,24,
-53,-53,-61,-61,-56,-23,-20,41,41,39,39,35,30,44,44,33,50,70,70,75,75,75,75,75,
56,60,59,62,56,68,56,50,48,48,40,46,60,49,30,48,47,47,59,46,56,57]}

I've upgraded to version 7, and then printed a game, but whereas most of the text was in my (preferred) FigurineCB TimeSP (as specified in my 'Options', 'Notation', 'Font') as usual, all the figurines were now in the CBArialLink font. I can't find why this should be, or how to turn it off. I mean, why would you want the figurines to be in an Arial font if the text was in a Times font, anyway? Roll Eyes
Does anyone else have this problem?

Yes, this is really annoying, all the database and game windows start out covering the whole screen and I have to adjust them, but this is forgotten the next time I open ChessBase 15 and I have to resize them again.

One strange problem I have with ChessBase 15 is that when you open a window (for example opening a DB or a game), it is in a strange state where it's missing the normal window border. When I try to move or resize it, I can't, but clicking on the title bar makes the the border suddenly appears and the window immediately resizes to the full screen size but stays in the same place - which is never what you'd want as it's now half-offscreen!. Makes using the program really a drag when moving between DB's or games.

And because the windows forget their size, saving/storing layouts doesn't work in a useful way.

Anyone else seen this or know a solution?

Actually, it works OK after restarting Windows, although the notations are difficult to see - probably a question of altering the font colours.

I 'spoke' too soon! After Windows returned from 'sleeping' my databases came back! Now the only thing I can't see are the folders in the main CB window. Well, and various other somewhat less important things like the Players Encyclopaedia.
Incidentally, totally off subject, I know, but the Forum looks really different in Edge when you have a dark high contrast scheme.

I just tried a 'High Contrast Black' theme on my portable computer, and whereas most programs worked well, and really had white text on a black background, ChessBase 15 (and presumably older versions, too) was almost unusable - the games became invisible in the databases and also in the online search feature!

Elementary, my dear Watson. (*) If I use the same button to copy, and then pasting into notepad gives a FEN, whereas pasting into wordpad gives me a diagram, that means I should be looking at the clipboard format.

I did look quickly for a way in CB14 to change the decorations, but didn't see anything in the menus. I passed on reverse-engineering their (binary) config files, because I don't think you would consider hacking to be an acceptable solution.

(*) Apocryphal, I know.

uncheck next to "With Game Data"


Excellent, thanks, how did you manage to find that? If you could now find a way to alter those blue title bars ...
