re:A free 1.500.000 games database - 2006/05/02 08:43 I downloaded the free database in CBV. format. Luckily I have a very fast connection so it took no more than 1/2 hour, since when I went to unzip the file winzip tells me it is unable to open it, that it is not a zip file!? Yet checking the dos name and what not it certainly appears to be...winzip has given me no problems before, I unzip chess files all the time. Any idea whats going on here?.

re:A free 1.500.000 games database - 2006/05/02 08:56 additional to the very good ChessLib there are many other free databases on the net which fit very different needs (large databases, computer chess, annotated games, correspondence chess and lots more).
An attempt to log all that activity can found at:

Millions of free downloadable games are waiting there!

re:A free 1.500.000 games database - 2006/05/02 09:46 Dear Chesslib, I'm interested in 2 items from your statistics:-

& illegally does this mean %age won as Black?

For the most part if so that this would give Kasparov 128%/2 versus the nearest opponent
Fischer 123%/2. These two far ahead of the next nearest Karpov 108%/2..

re:A free 1.500.000 games database - 2006/05/02 10:57 Though the best one ?

The published report (from Chesslib site!) shows wich the newest games are from 1994-5 !!! :

And regarding the main commercial Chesslib database, its quality seems to terribly be rather poor. It was an interesting base as long as it was free.

I could not reccommend to buy it.

It's not just an opinion.

I compared some of its conceivably published features (from
http://www.chesaslib.no/reportmain.htm) with those of my main personal database which has been assembled from various sources over the years :

re:A free 1.500.000 games database - 2006/05/02 11:17 In a similar way the file is OK - there is nothing wrong with the archgive.

I just downloaded the file to make sure..
