I think including only "won" games is best. With non-active grandmasters, collecting complete game collections is not a problem, since the number of games is a fixed number. But with still active grandmasters, acquiring a complete up-to-date collection is more difficult. How, or where, do you find an up-to-date collection for these grandmasters? I think only Kasparov, Polgar, and possibly Spassky are still active? Regards Dave
