Hi guys,

How do I find complete games in chessbase 11? Many of the games I find by the players I love show that they win but are incomplete which means they player resigned or the pgn data was not available.

Thanks

The gamescores are complete. If a player resigns, the gamescore isn't going to show you how the mate "would have happened" because that's not part of the historical record.

Now if you're talking about "blank games" which show two players and a result but no moves, that indicates that the gamescore isn't available -- it's lost to history. If it's listing just a single player in the header, that indicates the game was a "bye", and that "blank" game is included to facilitate the creation of accurate tournament crosstables by the CB11 software.
