Description

The idea is a thematic search to find games of interest. The search would look for information that cannot be expressed by a string search in a PGN.

I need the help of a chess guy here.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the PGN Editor's current search behavior and how it handles string searches in PGN data. Define which game metadata and thematic queries are in scope, then confirm that the finished search can find games that string matching cannot; the issue indicates that chess expertise is needed.
