Re: [Chessx-users] Help Files

[James C. <ja...@co...>]

As yet we don't have help. I would recommend just trying all the menu options and going through the dialogs and seeing what happens.
The view menu selects the various views you can open. Notice you can dock and undock them by dragging them on the top bar.

ChessX opens and edits PGN files. PGN is the standard format for chess game databases. 

You might find the Filter concept a little confusing, most first time users do. Once you use it a while it should make sense. If you dont see your games after doing some filter operations, try "Reset Filter".

Another thing some users are confused by is that  the user needs to save hist modified games into the database and then the user needs to save the modified database to a file.

Also make sure you try out the Preferences... Menu. From the Engines tab you can Add... new Engines I would recommend Stockfish.

ChessX is open source and developed by contributors , Hopefully someone will write some good help documentation.
