  How do I search for games from a specific tournament in ChessBase Online? For example, to see games from the United States Championship, you have to search for "USA-ch". How would anyone know to search for "USA-ch", as that does not seem intuitive at all? I stumbled on this abbreviation by accident. Is there a better way, or somewhere that shows the abbreviations ChessBase uses?
