So what if I download them? I wouldn't know what to do with those extensions. Presumably they're decompressible but I'm not sure. I'm running Windows XP Home (SP2), not linux. FYI: I recently bought ChessliB's big database containing over 3.6 million chess games and it's pretty good quality. It doesn't return significant doubles with ordinary settings in Chessbase 8. However I was able to find some special settings which find about 1% doubles. Otherwise it seems pretty good, limited to games with 10 moves or more, no fragments, and the integrity checks OK with CB8. I suppose my main question would be: What do you use for ECO classifications? Neither CB8 nor SCID are perfect in that regard. I suppose Chess Assistant may have an ECO classification routine too, but I don't have CA. WP
