Subject: PGN Chess Games wanted

I am trying to build a web opening book.  (Really.)  I have my own working
database format and can generate web page output with statistics.  I actually
started this project around 5 years ago but didn't have enough web space
available to make it worthwhile.   Now that web space is cheaper to get I have
resumed the project.

The biggest problem of course is getting a source of good chess games.  A few
months back someone published links to "crapbase", which was just an online
archive of games.  I downloaded the zip files, but not all the files unzipped
properly even though I have the latest version of Windows PKZip.   The links to
crapbase no longer seem to work, although they might be similar to this page
that I found:   http://www.uib.no/people/pfvaf/chesslib/   The download links
there don't work for me either.

I will take any source of games that I can get.
