  Right. At the moment I'm working with a base 1960-69. The steps for killing
  doubles I followed were these:

  1) CB8 - Similar names - similiar moves - ignore result/year/tournaments.

  2) CB8 - Ignore  names - exact moves    - ignore result/year/tournaments.
     (and have a look at the clipboard)

  3) SCID - Criteria - checked yes for "same moves" and "first 4 letters only".
     Then check out the suggested twins.

  4) A couple of runs in CA - then checking the proposed doubles.

  There are also other ways of course, like some PGN-utilities.
