HEADER SEARCH. This type of search is based on “header” information, such as the players’ names, result, year, place, opening name, ECO index, etc. Let’s find, for example, all the non-drawn games played between Karpov and Xxxxxxxx. Open the ELITE database. Select Search | Header in the main menu. (You can also click on the small down arrow next to the icon on the toolbar and select Header search in the drop-down list). The Search dialog box appears, with the header fields listed on the left. The Criteria and Details columns are empty. The White field is highlighted. To avoid spelling mistakes, use the list in the upper right-hand corner of the window. Begin with typing the name. When you type the letter K, the list automatically scrolls to this letter.
