Classifiers - Organize Your Chess Data
A database of chess games is a rather unwieldy collection of data. Of course you can sort the games, search etc. but all of this is temporary. The next time you open the database you will see the same list of games without any useful structure. If you want to repeat a search, you have to enter all the search criteria from scratch and then search again.

Classifiers allow you to organize your chess data into nested folders in a similar way as you organize your hard disk into folders. Each folder in a classifier can contain

• Icon. The icon serves as a reminder for the data contained in the folder.
  
• Text. A text description of the folder.
  
• Position. This could for instance be a critical position from an opening.
  
• Any search criteria, which allows games to be automatically classified with just a mouse click. This is of course a very powerful feature. An example is a classifier for endgames (pawn endgames, rook endgames etc.). Whenever you update your database, all you need to do is refresh the search in order to classify the endgames that occur in the new games.
  
• A list of games. Games can be included in the list either manually or automatically based on a search criteria.
  
• Chess tree. You can store chess trees in a classifier folder. This could for instance be detailed analysis results for an opening variation, while only the most important variations are shown in a game annotation.
  
• Another classifier, allowing practically unlimited flexibility in the structure of classifiers.
  
• Multimedia information: images, audio and video.

• Add and manage variations (promote etc.).
  
• Powerful annotation editor makes it easy to add Chess Informant symbols, engine evaluations and verbal commentary.
  
• Assign visual styles to moves so they stand out in the notation. You can search for games based on styles.
  
• Use any of 30 standard classes to classify important games or instructive positions. The same game can belong to multiple classes (e.g. Tactics and Kingside attack). Search for games belonging to specific classes.
  
• Organize games with a flexible, user defined, Windows Explorer style Classifier.
  
• Display board graphics and insert diagrams at selected point in the notation.
