Composite Search allows you to organize a large collection of CQL queries into a neat hierarchical structure, so you can quickly find any query you may be looking for. Each query is identified by a description so this is similar to a table of contents in a book. In Chess Assistant 8 there were only two levels in the Composite Search hierarchy: Sections and queries. This was a little restrictive and Chess Assistant 9 adds a third level, subsections. This is a welcome addition. The screenshot shows how users can take advantage of this by using Tim Krabbé´s chess records as an example. The first nine section come standard with Chess Assistant 9, but I have added section 10, "Chess Records". Below that subsections have been defined for each type of record: "Moves", "Captures", "Checks", "Promotion", "Pieces" and "Position". Subsection 10.3 has been expanded so the list of CQL queries in the subsection are displayed.

CQL and Composite Search were first introduced in version 8 of Chess Assistant. The implementation was amazingly good, considering the complexity of CQL and the short timeline for its implementation. In Chess Assistant 9, CQL and Composite search have been improved even further, and all CQL users are adviced to upgrade to the new version.

If you are planning on using CQL and Composite Search I strongly recommend an upgrade to Chess Assistant 9. Many queries published on this site will not work correctly in earlier versions.

As this screenshot shows, results of Composite Search can be written to an EPD file, just like in CQL search.
