The closest thing is loading games with double click and use the "games navigation" buttons (the arrows at the right end of the toolbar over the board) to go back and forth between the games. > > mark games as deleted at every place, sort each of these game lists > quickly for any column. > Double click a column header to sort results in a "Best Tree Games" window; if you like to add further sorting criteria single-click over another column header. For sure is a bit messy and counter-intuitive, so this a case where a good tutorial video "Preparing to play against an opponent" will be very useful for new users (and starting chess players) in my opinion.
