You might check some of these:

Probably lots more.


But your page is the best I know of.

For free stuff anyway.

The commercial systems will *always* be better than the crufty stuff skimmed
from the net.  But you can improve it a lot with tools like Scid and
pgn-extract.

But having a full time team dedicated to making sure everything is good in the
data will not be emulated purely by machine, I think.

At any rate, you will find good ideas that others have not thought of in games
not in the professional collections.

That is especially true of the correspondence and email games.

You might like to get in touch with Marcel van Kervinck:

He has a stupendous collection of PGN gathered from rated players on FICS.
