Subject: OT: How the hell do the chess geeks annotate??

I still haven't figured this out. When you go through a chess book you have
annotations going like this:

4.) Bd4 ??

   Player A - Player B in 1954, Dortmund went 4.) Bd4 Be5 .... 20.) Ra1 Re7

with advantage for white.


   Player X - Player Y in 1978, New York went 4.) Bd4 Ra5 ....

with advantage for black.

I mean, how do they recollect that there was a similiar line in a game 20 years
ago? How do they remember that the exact moves? Even if they were referencing
some book, that would require a lot of sifting through.
