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).
