Body: <p>I have imported several twic zip files into scid which gave a lot of &quot;illegal move&quot; error messages.

  <pre><code>1. Open the tournament window.
  2. Click on a tournament.
  3. In the Crosstable window, click on the number of games.
  4. In the Maintenance window, click on &quot;Delete filter games&quot;.
  5. Compact database.
  6. Rinse, lather, repeat.
  </code></pre>
  <p>The above method is cumbersome since there are about 200 tournaments with the word &quot;Rapid&quot; in it.  My question: Is there an easier way to get all the games that have &quot;Rapid&quot; in the Event name into the filtered Game List window?</p>

  I have imported several twic zip files into scid which gave a lot of "illegal move" error messages.  For obvious reasons, the vast majority of them are in "Rapid", "Blitz", and "Chess960" tournaments.  I would like to delete all of those tournaments.  The process I came up with is"
  1. Open the tournament window.
  2. Click on a tournament.
  3. In the Crosstable window, click on the number of games.
  4. In the Maintenance window, click on "Delete filter games".
  5. Compact database.
  6. Rinse, lather, repeat.
  
  The above method is cumbersome since there are about 200 tournaments with the word "Rapid" in it.  My question: Is there an easier way to get all the games that have "Rapid" in the Event name into the filtered Game List window?

  If I poke around enough, I will eventually find an answer. In the "General" search screen, there is an Event field. However, there appears to be a limit on how many games you can search. In a database with over 1 million games, there were still "Rapid" games in the database even the "General" filter wasn't showing any. Although the tournament screen was still showing some "Rapid" tournaments.
