Chessbase/Fritz GUI question

Post by sockmonkey »

Someone here must know this. Is there a way to make CB/Fritz draw a white or black "to move" indicator next to the board? I can't find anything like that anywhere in the docs.

Thanks

Couldn't find anything either. Never really noticed that.

Me neither. I think the next best is to choose "Mark Move With Arrow" from Tools/Options, Game.

(Although that adds an arrow on the board directly and I know that not everyone likes such additional graphical elements on the board itself.)

Unfortunately, that only works when you're playing (in Fritz), not when you're reviewing a game. And the option doesn't exist at all in CB. Thanks for checking it out, though.
