Some advice to make living with OlimpBase easier.

  • Team vs team data fast access
    Ever wondered if and when, say, US beat Hungary at the Olympiads? Now it is easier to find than you could have thought. Choose Team list from the menu on the right, then pick United States. Then click on the Team vs Team Record label. Find the country code, which for Hungary is HUN (see attached image). Move your mouse over the respective column (the number inside, which is 8 in this case tells the number of 2½-1½ scores in the history of USA-HUN matches). Keep the mouse still for a second. The info on years when 2½-1½ results occured will display. Incidentally, you may also learn when USA took their all-time best vs Hungary (3-1) or you may want to check when exactly all of nine drawn matches happened.
