This means you just extend this pgn database over time and add more games to it. You can use my pgn chess database with “SCID vs PC” and build your personal chess database with it. If download link does not work then please send me an email and I send you the download link. I have to charge you $35 for the pgn downloads, because it has been a lot of work to build the pgn file (expertchess.zip) with over 540 000 chess games, as you can surely imagine. However in the beginning SCID seems to be complicated to use it, so I will explain some important features that you must know to be able to build your database. You can also run chess engines and play games against the computer. With “SCID vs PC” you can create huge chess databases without having to buy expensive chess database software. In other posts, one mentioned database with similar properties to the above is the ICOFY database, but unfortunately it does not seem to be maintained any longer, nor can a trustworthy download link for it be found.Shane’s Chess Information Database (SCID) was originally written by Shane Hudson, but has received strong contribution from others. No real constraint on the ratings, whether the levels (amateur to super grandmaster) are fairly balanced or whether it's a 2000+ rating database.Īlthough a single-file database would be easiest to work with, say for parsing purposes, one that is divided onto multiple PGN files would also be perfectly fine, as long as they were formatted similarly and did not contain too many duplicates. It would be preferential if the database was diverse, for example not being only composed of man vs.
game info headers on top, followed by the moves, an example: (it doesn't have to contain all the headers of this example)įew such, but very small (2-3 thousand games) databases can be found here. Simple formatted (no time indication after moves, etc), i.e.
I am looking for a relatively large PGN-formatted database (with at least 500k+ games), that is downloadable, with possibly the following properties:
