Entering last move variation in HCE

ddlj81 · Post by **ddlj81** » Wed May 21, 2014 6:37 am

When I am annotating a game in HCE, how do I enter a variation after the last move of the game. For instance, I want to annotate why black resigned after white's last move and enter it as a variation. But right now in HCE, it adds the moves to the main line.

These instructions from a post by Mark explain how:

1. go to the end of the game
2. enter moves to continue game
3. go back to move before last move in actual game
4. press shift and enter last move

Then game will have variation including last move of game.

I am using a mac and I tried what you mentioned and when I go back and press shift and play the last move, it just plays the same move I had before.

It actually worked if I actually enter the moves with click and click, rather than drag and drop. So when I go back to last move and enter (click click) it then makes that a variation.

Thanks

I have just tried it on Mac and it works with with drag and drop of the move here. I do not see there is an issue here. Can you recheck and confirm you are seeing an issue with drag and drop not adding the last move?

I rechecked and noticed that the drag and drop is not working when I use three finger drag on my mac (three finger is equivalent to click and drag). But it does work when I actually click and drag.

Thanks

Hello !

To add a variation at last move, I use the command "Insert a null move" in the Edit menu, then I enter variations.
