In various commercial databases there are numerous bad, wrong and false games. Some sellers even use claims as "totally clean" - "no duplicates" - "totally checked". The quality of the DB:s vary greatly. You'll get a hint if you look at the player bases and tournament indexes. This little example is from a commercial DB [not ChessBase or Chess Assistant] [D]rnbq1rk1/1p4bp/p1Bp1pp1/2pPn3/P3PP2/2N1K3/1P2N1PP/R1BQ3R b - - 0 13 [Event "Budapest NOVIKI"] [Site "Budapest NOVIKI"] [Date "1987.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Barbero, G."] [Black "Szalanczy, E."] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "A67"] [WhiteElo "2445"] [BlackElo "2425"] [PlyCount "31"] [EventDate "1987.??.??"] [SourceDate "2005.01.01"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. d5 e6 4.
