Hello there ..
My chess coach is a Chessbase user (who is not) and she wants me to find the HIARCS equivalent to a feature manifestly important and called "In this game...". Apperantly, it is for searching a position not across databases (which as a new HIARCS user I learned quickly how to do) but *within the same game*. I could not really replicate this feature or find out how to do it.
On an expanded note, I realize this feature might come in handy when one builds large game notations of many, many lines and wants to search for specific positions which may appear in different lines. I wonder if one would not rather use different game files instead of keeping anything in one.
I am very much looking forward from expert answers, who have already mastered the issue of 'so many data to organize' As a beginner, it seems hard to learn how to get oneself organized. Any pointer appreciated!

Hi. I don't know if this suggestion will help but it's the first thought I had. You could simply create an empty database and then copy and paste the game you want to search into this new database. You can then use the search database menu option to search this database of 1 game for the position or positions required.

I also think if you filter a database so it only has the one game in the filter, then turn the filter on in the game explorer you can search for the position in that one game

Yes, that is possibly a better way.

1.3 has a function to find position inside variations (for smaller databases). Is that what you may need?
