Help for Game Inquiries
This feature permits you to do a search, in the current game area, for
certain parameters. You can view the stats and/or download the games
compiled in the stats to view in your offline chess editor.
Options: [D]ate : Collects games with this date and after. Games
with dates prior to this are ignored. Leave
blank for all dates.
[P]layer : Enter a player's name, to collect games only
in which this player is involved. Leave blank
for all players.
[G]ame : You can enter a single game or a range of game
numbers. For a single game, enter the game number
for both the starting and ending value. To collect
games from a single game number through the end,
leave the ending game number blank. Leaving both
blank collects all.
[S]tatus : There are three choices, [A]ctive, [C]ompleted or
[B]oth. Blank defaults to [B].
note-> The above options can be used in any combination to obtain stats.
[V]iew : Displays and prepares the stats from the above
parameters for viewing and/or downloading.

in the inquiry. Upon selecting this option, a
list of selectable transfer protocols will be
