When you unzip this file, you end up with a pgn file that's 93.4mb, it's a bit
on the hard side to open it or edit it.  Forget about Winboard or Chessbase Lite
(at least on my computer) it's just too big.  Extreme Chess seems to have been
able to open it, PFE can open it.  There seems to be 60,238 games.  They're not
in completly standard formatting that everyone is used to with pgn, everything
is in neat columns (extra spaces between moves to maintain the columns).

This must have been Gzipped at maximum compression.  If I keep this file I'll
remove the odd formating & spaces.  Who the heck is Bluebeard?  Heck of a rating
he has.
