Answer

In addition to pure game notation, the ChessBase data format supports numerous elements which can be integrated into that notation. That could, for example, be thinking times for each individual move which are added to the notation after each move when you are playing on the server. The data format also supports the integration of graphic commentary (coloured squares or arrows on the chessboard), multimedia – or correspondence chess comments, training questions, textual commentary, etc.

How can you target types of commentary to be removed from a game without at the same time deleting at the same time the comments you wish to remain?

Here is an example with a variation tree into which a blitz game from the server has been added.

For the opening moves you see the times taken per move which have been included in the notation by the server. If you click specifically on the times, unlike when you do so on text commentary, there is no editing box which opens and which would allow you to manually delete such entries.

How can these times be deleted without you losing the remaining annotations?

In its menu toolbar under notation, Chessbase 14 offers you a sort of “eraser”, but one which removes all commentary.

So, this radical function to remove commentary does not suit your purpose either. There is, however, a special menu called “Delete” in which the user can specify exactly which elements are to be removed from the notation.

Right click – Delete starts the relevant menu.

For the scenario we have described above, you would have to select the function “Delete times + evaluations”.  

The result now appears as follows:

The entries for thinking time have been removed, but all other comments are still available.
