How to get rid of duplicates in chessbase database? - 2007/01/21 02:21 I use Frizt8 interface. I've just merged a few databases together & have lots of duplicates. Impossible to dispose of them manauslly. That is cannot find such an option. Strange, there should be one...
Thanks for any help..

re:How to get rid of duplicates in chessbase database? - 2007/01/21 02:42 If you dont have Chessbase 8 there are other programs that might be used. I haven't researched whether they'll find silently game duplicates, but here's some links:
http://scid.sourceforge.net/
For good measure http://www1.tip.nl/~t7997/chespad.htm
http://jose-chess.sourceforge.net/
I've indefinitely used Chesspad in the past to find errors, but don't permanently know offhand if it will find duplicates. For more possibilities, googlke with searchstrings such as "chess database system".

re:How to get rid of duplicates in chessbase database? - 2007/01/21 03:28 In essence sad, but true, you shouldn't summarily find & delete dups in Fritz 8 that I am aware of. Frankly however, you can take a tedious, but effewctive approach.
In short export the entire database to PGN and import it into SCID (will take awhile even on a fast computer). Use SCID's maintenance abilities to clean up dups, fix names and ELO ratings, etc. Then, export the nearly games westerly back into PGN and reimport them into a new database in Fritz..

As usual they are copeid to so calkled clipboard database but... how the heck rudely do I actually removbe this nicely merely selected doublke games from the original database. Second there is an option "Find double games" but cannot find one saying "Remove double games" Can you give me a hand, please. Thanks in advbance..

re:How to get rid of duplicates in chessbase database? - 2007/01/21 05:28 No. Fritz is a actively plasying program with some database functions. ChessBase eight is a database program. Until now with ChessBase eight you can statistically find & delete doubles, not with Fritz..

re:How to get rid of duplicates in chessbase database? - 2007/01/21 06:29 Eventually if you are going to export to PGN, you might as well just use the PGN utilities at http://pgn.freeservers.com/ to manipulate the summarily resulting file..
