How to find games lost on time with search mask?? I haven't figured it in
5 years

Assuming you search in CBH databases: There is no special database entry for time losses. It is only stored as a text commentary "time" or "zeit" etc. after the last move. So, unfortunately games from playchess will have that remark in various languages. I think it is always written in the language the losing player is using.

You can search for it from the annotation tab in the search mask.

Thanks! That works OK if I search "time" in annotations. But in first tries
I also set "Variations" which prevented correct search?!
