I have a Chess Base question:

So I have Big Database and I'm wondering how to update it. For example, if I download TWIC games, is there anyway to add these games to Big Database?


Many thanks in advance!!!!

Once you have your TWIC downloaded, drag and drop onto your destination DB. You can use the "Sources" tab to list your Big DBs sources. (i.e. TWIC #)  I also think, but not sure, that you get a one year download from Chessbase.

Just open the twic database in chess base. And drag it on the main database and drop it.

Yes and no. The games are added, but they aren't totally available to all ChessBase functionality. For example, I have Big Database 2012. I've added all of the games from TWIC since 2012. If I search for Magnus Carlsen, I can find all of his games that I have, both in the original database and those I've added. However, try creating a Dossier on him, and you only get the games, percentages, openings, etc. from the original database. Does anyone know of a way to get ChessBase to fully recognize added games? Thanks. I have ChessBase 11, BTW.
