Another way is to use the Header search to find all games with both players 
above 2200 and then use the "Database switcher" function to copy the games in 
the filter to a new database.

      a) I have downloaded the huge ICOfY database 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/icofybase/) which now contains over 4 million 
games.  I have combined the 5 subases (A through E) into one SCID4 database.  
What I would like to do now is to filter out all the games in which both 
players do not have at least a 2200 rating.  How can I do that?



    Should be immediate, not? Use Scids header search, select an ECO range you 
desire like 0-2200. This will add all games with players up to 2200 to the 
filter. Use the games list (Ctrl-L) and use "Delete all games in filter" from 
the context menu (right mouse button for the context menu). After that you 
should compact your database to really delete the games you just marked as 
deleted (File / Maintenance /Compact database, and you've to compact both games 
and names file.)



  So the way to do that is to filter all the games BELOW 2200 and then delete 
them.  Kind of convoluted, but why not!? Still, can I rename the remaining 
database before compacting it in order not to delete the original one?  Or 
should I make a copy of the original one first?

  Also - thanks for your explanation about Mega2009 and its copyrights.  What a 
mess!  I guess I will stay clear from this one ;-)

  Kind regards and many thanks!
