If you have a huge .pgn File
Open the Database
Search for all Fischer games.
Highlight them
Save as Fischer.pgn
Same for Capablanca etc...
If you have a huge .pgn File and want to 'delete' games.
You must 'convert to .cbh format
Right click on the database
you will get a menu..
Convert to new format?
click yes
Now search for games you want deleted
by name.. date,  Tournament, player etc...
highlight them
use menu and delete.
now..
right click on the huge file that is left
use menu
click on convert to new format
select pgn you are back in business
