To another game, you mean? > without manually executing the search at every position. Chess dBases typically (so does Scid) are aware of positions only. So if a position in your game matches the position in another game, both games match. At that point, and without taking the move order in which the positions was reached (and ideally the number of moves that position was reached in) into consideration. So the games currently match, but it might be the case that they did not match from the beginning. This is also what chess is about... What sort of result would you expect from the comparison you miss?
