Finding games on this site is nearly impossible. They need to change the format.
The way it is set up, all you can do is search one player and choose that player's color, and then you get the opening database format, like as if you were looking for Nimzo-Indian Games where you click d4, then Nf6, then c4, then e6, then Nc3, then Bb4, etc.
But the problem is, if you don't know the opening, finding a game is virtually impossible.
For example, let's say, hypothetically, that you wanted to find the 7th round of the 1978 World Championship match. Here's the problem with that:
1) To find that game, you would have to know specifically who was White and who was Black (Korchnoi was White)
2) You would have to know what the opening was and sift through the opening moves (It was a QGD via 1.c4 e6 2.Nc3 d5 3.d4).
So you'd have to enter Korchnoi, select White, and then click on each individual move. If you didn't know that Korchnoi was White or what the opening moves were, you'd never find it.
They need to allow other search factors, like Year, a second field for Name so that you can have it specifically list games between 2 certain players, like all the games between Karpov and Korchnoi, etc.

The "Explorer" is useless!
