Yes, Kurt you are wright.
I've spent many many hours to make the database a little bit better.
I've converted the pgn-thing to .CBH and have unified the names. I'v also
deleted the poor(and double) games in it and i think my database is about 11.000
pure games now. I regurly update my database with the new.pgn files.

Best regards
Johan
