chessgames.com is a nice site. It's a bit like having an online set of 50 Informants.

So much great chess reference material available. It's a bit overwhelming.

chessgames is a good site, it full of..er...chess games!
I'm there as Sally Simpson (after the Who song) and often use to
thrust out my heavily opinionated jaw debating (arguing) with everyone.
Chess historians, Grandmasters, computer experts...basically anyone who
an opinion for me (right or wrong, mostly wrong ) to take an opposite stance on.
These days I don't get involved so much and just quip in with a daft joke or two.

Here and there (chessgames) are the only two sites I regularly visit.

I get my live chess from https://nxt.chessbomb.com/events where there are no ads,
no talking heads, no computer eval (if you take multiple view - watch all four
candidate matches at the same time ) and no daft comments from the punters.
It's just you and the moves.

One of the Mammoth book collections at chessgames is;
https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chesscollection?cid=1038655

These books often bring out comments about games not included.
Morphy at the Opera is missing. (It's a famous game, but not 'Great' )

The Mammoth Book of Chess has the Morphy game....9 times!
They use it to describe all the different forms of chess notation.
