I'm not certain that you are correct. You could certainly try to defend your copyright on the collection of uncommented game scores. But it's possible to construct other criteria that would make the selection of those hundred games. Using a random generator f.ex. There would be no problem at all to construct a biased one to get any given set of games. And then I would have the source code to back me up. MvH Dan Andersson
