The Database is a great facility to have here for Premium Members, but why is it that in the section "Master Games" it seems that half of them aren't actually played by Masters at all? Many of them in fact are just kids who are not much better than me! I can see that a lot of inexperienced players may be mislead at times into thinking that just because a certain move is top of the popularity list of so called "Master Games" it must be the best. But in several openings there are lines where this simply isn't the case..

Perhaps it's a better idea to organise the database into 2 sections: 1 for actual Master Games, 1 for games below that standard.. Thoughts?

I think they should change "Master games" to "Tournament games".
