Excuse me but I found 6x 8.e4 ans 1x 8.a3 in my big base. 8.e3 isnt there. But
because you gave this line I did something else. I searched just for this single
position over my big base and then I found several games. And something gave
also the explanation why this system of finding "lines" in ChessBase isnt
already perfect. If I look at the ECO codes of the found games, I see this:

D11, D43, D30 - you know what I mean?

It is a line with still not a stable ECO openening classification. I had this
many times already. ChessBase offers a tech but it's by far perfect yet. You can
use it but you cant expect the absolute truth in your results. You found a good
example to explain that complex. I also doubt now that the other advice for
deleting the whole booster file is surely not th solution for this opening crux.
