I agree with Michal. It is the easiest, simplest and sufficient way. The
question is could/should those tokens "Elementary endgames", "Philidor
position" normalized : if yes it can made available through drop down lists
:
Main category Sub-category Sub-sub-category
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Endings Practical endgames Active rook
etc.
And once those 3 categories are selected, there could be action "apply to
games in filter", which will add the PGN tag
Category "Endings/Practical endgames/Active rook"
But there remains the case where I want to add extra info like "position
solved" or "tactical shot at move 23" and "solution is Nxf3"
