It appears to get SIGNIFICANTLY more likely to happen as a database approaches (or passes) 500,000 games. Even more unfortunately, it cannot be fixed, because we do not have the source code for the database module, as it was created by TASC especially for Chessmaster. Therefore, there is no workaround for it, other than deleting games (probably about 10,000 at a time, is what I would suggest), until the optimization is successful. jm
