Hi!
You may remember that I posted this problem some time ago, and it still
persists. I did some additional observation but still can not say "do
this and that and you'll see".
Anyway, it seems that once extensive (header?) searches are performed
through a database the memory indicees go out of sync with the database.
Again I added some bibliographic data to a reference db, so I did a lot
of searching of the "a vs b, ignore colours" type. Now it happend that I
searched for a game Nimzowitsch vs Rubinstein, Dresden 1926. Searching
for the opponents yielded no result. Being absolutely sure that this
tournament should be in the database entirely (that time frame is
covered by the ChessBase Megabase 2006 which is one foundation of my
RefDB) I did several searches. I started out with full written names.
Then I shorted Rubinstein to several letters (Rubin, R), no result.
Performing a search for the event however using the tournament finder
produced the tournament and also the game. Performing the search by
names again however yielded still no results. Hence, I'd guess that the
players index was out of sync due to usage while the tournament index,
which I never used in this exercise was still ok.
I shut down scid, fired it up again, reopend the DB, searched for
Nimzowitsch vs. Rubinstein, et voila! It showed up in the result list in
the first hand. Therefore, I believe that once the index is read in
again everything is fine. Surely you'll not want to repeat what I did,
but I added the bibliography of Nimzowitschs famous "My System" and
failed at game 28 (of the numbered ones, that is arround p.290 in my
german edition, so I did some searching before, but it's only about 50
games in the whole, including those not found it should be still below
100, not really that much.).
Still I can not nail it but maybe it gives some clue?
