Not because of hardware constraints - but for human constraints. It would have to include way too many "trash games" or "blitz" games for it to be meaningful. There is really only 1 or 2 thousand games a year at long time controls that are worth adding to your database. The rest are unworthy IMO. Better off sticking with the known sources TWIC, Chessbase, Chess Informant etc. Michael Byrne
