Hello, Aquarium supports both position trees and ChessAssistant sequential game databases. When I work on opening preparations I am interested in trees and would like to see comments for a position whenever it is on the board. But when I prepare for an opponent or just want to replay some interesting games (it would be nice to get Huebners 25 annotated games as a database) I want to see only the comments of one author. What I would like to do is to find and delete identical duplicates (including comments and vars) of commented games. I never want to delete duplicate games with different comments. The use case is that I may get a new version of a database, which I have already imported. Also there should be some fuzzy compare on header data instead of comparing just the first four characters. Maybe just the first character is written differently. To merge two copies of the same games with different annotators I do not like at all. You lose the context of the comments. Chessbase claims to be able to do this but the results are messy.

It would merely dissolve it. You are right in saying that there are some comments that deserve to stay into a single game. Your example shows that one would like to annotate a particular game, in which case it makes sense to annotate into a game. But you must also consider that most of theorical annotations could and should stay outside particular games. That would solve lots of annotating problems, most of mine, at least. That's the way of the future, in my humble opinion, along with strict games IDs, of course. I just wanted to promote a very, very interesting feature. Hijacking your thread seemed like less noise than writing a new one.
