Hi,

I believe FICS or other chess server have millions of games from computer
programs. I am not sure why but the games aren't available.

I believe we have today the biggest collectiion of computer chess games if we
collect only the games from chess server, perhaps 10 Million games are played, I
don't know.

Companys, like ChessBase must have a big database to improved the opening books
for chess engines if ChessBase only looking on all the played games on the own
server :-)

A little secret I believe :-))

I collect games in the 2-3 years Frank's Chess Page is running. Around (all in
one) 40.000 games are on the page available. User tourneys, own tourneys, other
events. In this time I collect around 500.000 comp-comp games. In the latest
years I collect around 450.000 but not with the same energy the first years.

I believe all in one we can have a comp database with around 10 million or more
games. This would be great for the book creators and programmers :-)

Only a short thinking about it!

Best
Frank
