They have a single download of all those games in one DB. Many of them are computer engines against other computer engines.. there are some others too, but not sure what they were .. (140K is quite a few to try to go through!)
Anything else out there with a few thousand games that are good to download? I was using chessgames.com, but, I don't like how you can't search for the moves like you can in the keys in Chessbase Light.

would this not pose a problem for a player making use of it? Every move would be a computer move, and look like it, thus being difficult to distinguish from one freshly generated by a computer?

if so, then the ToS would need to be updated
btw - it has to be chessbase, not light.. light has a 8000 limit I believe.. mine isn't the light version.
Every issue comes with the latest weeks tournaments and games from the top players. Put all of the past issues together and you have half a million top class recently played games.
There's no problem with using databases no matter the source.

No, because all database moves are ignored by the game mods.
Received confirmation from Chris (using feedback option) that since its a database its fine.. its when you use a computer program to select what the next move is from your current position..

Seems chris hasn't been reading up on the game mod discussion.
One of us will put up a more detailed response soon though.
Actually, tmetzler, this would open a whole can of worms.. 'cause.. what would the difference between this, and me using my db of games that have been analyzed with Fritz after the fact.. In the analysis, it would say I should have done something else, so.. my next game, I would do that something else.

That's why I said it wasn't that simple. 🙂
An official response will be coming in the next few days...

well, that would be using fritz/junior/whatever to choose you next move... or could it be classed as preparation? Would it be ligitimate to take my past games, analyse them all, find my blunders, and next time play the improved move (which, quite naturally was generated by an engine, and i've placed in the notes against my past game)?
Large DB of chessgames 140646 games!
