Tell that chessbase, not me.
The positions and games I posted are those in question.
I could not find many 'computer' moves in the other games I have checked.

Einzig unangenehmes Vorkommnis war die Disqualifikation zweier Spieler aus dem
Kandidatenturnier, die mit Hilfe von Schachprogrammen gespielt hatten.
Disqualifiziert wurden IM Emil Shaposhnikov ("E-Shaposhnikov") und IM Roman
Popov ("Abrau"). Das Urteil der Turnierleitung, die von GM Rainer Knaak
schachlich beraten wurden, war in beiden Fällen einstimmig.
