It's a wonderful idea, but your analysis options are very limited (3 choices), and your query interface is rather limited. For example, suppose you want to find win percentage for a position with players of ELO over 2300? If you want two million games, for people with slow phone links, the most cost effective solution is likely to buy a CD. I'll bet if 40 people ask for analysis at the same time you're going to get some pretty crappy analysis. It is a very good site though. I have bookmarked it. It might be a good one to add to the URL listings. Speaking of free chess database files, I now have well over one million games. I won't be able to post them until tonight, because I have too much *actual* work to do.
