The resulting dataset contained 2837 games (same as when I searched using CCE). Then I opened the Averbakh database and did the same search. The result was a dataset of 503 games, again the same number as when I searched from within CCE. So everything seems to be working fine both in CCE and CA and I could not reproduce the problem you describe. I know this doesn't help to solve your problem, but it might be useful to know this result if you want to investigage further. Dadi
