let's say the original pgn file contains only these games:
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 1-0
1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 0-1
1. e4 d6 2. Nc3 1/2-1/2
1. e4 d6 2. d4 1-0
now you generate a summary pgn file, including only moves that are
played at least twice. (twice instead of thrice or more makes the
example easier.) what i was proposing is that the output would be
[Result-Summary "1/1/0"]
1. e4 e5 *
[Result-Summary "1/0/1"]
1. e4 d6 *
what information (other than what you wanted to discard) is lost?
