Hi There
On COW 2016 PRO there is a window named "Move" on the top and to the right side of the screen, near the "certainty" slider.
Where can I find a description of the use of these both windows?

The Move entry area is for those who enter moves faster by touch typing. You can type in "Nf3" and press enter and it will add that move or play it if it's already a candidate move.
The certainty slider is for showing how certain you are of the evaluation. For example, the Informant symbol might be set to '=' and the dynamic position might have equal chances. The certainty would then be low. Another positions could be a dead draw with correct play. The certainly of that '=' would be high. It's just another way to comment on the position.

Thanks for the explanation in both cases. I tried out the Move entry and it works! It's pretty neat. I won't be using it, though I'm sure someone will.MikeAtBookup wrote: ↑Mon Oct 09, 2017 2:29 pm The Move entry area is for those who enter moves faster by touch typing.

A couple of odds and ends.
First:
The command
PGN - Import Games ...
has many useful settings. They all seem to work, but one. I selected "Do not import duplicate comment lines", but they come in anyway.
Second:
Everyman PGN files often fail to import correctly as noted in other posts. The problem comes when there is a digression. In the related ChessBase file this is shown as --, for example "11--" leads into a commentary about white's 11th move. Then alternative 11th moves are covered. These alternatives fail to import to COW. Saving this same file to text displays "--" differently, as "Z0". I used a "search and replace all" command to eliminate all "Z0" to see if that would lead to a clean import. No luck.
