The hit list

Game overview

The first and most obvious result of a query is the game hit list which gives an overview of all games containing the pattern you specified on the search board:

Hit	Game	Move	Black player	White player	Date
1	1133	8	Hane Yasumasa	Nie Weiping	1992,Feb,19
2	3919	10	Ryu Shikun	Cho Sonjin	1991,Sep,24
3	4274	10	Oya Koichi	Cho Sonjin	1991,Sep,09

Listed information

The hit list contains the following information:

Hit: A sequential number identifying each hit.
Game: A unique identifier for each game in the database. The game number points to the actual game record so clicking it will load the game in your SGF viewer thus enabling you to replay the game.
Move: The moment the position appeared in the game. The same position can appear several times in the same game. In that case several hits will be included in the hit list. The Game identifier will be the same for these hits, but the Move number will be different.
Black player White player: Name of the players. The first occurence of a player's name (Cho Sonjin for example) points to the biography of that player. The biography contains information about his/her birthday, strength, name in Japanese kanji characters (if available) and sometimes a curiculum vitea. The biography page also contains a pointer to an overview of other games of that player available in the database.
Date: The date the game was played.
