Yes, so marvelous that i'm ready to make so manual work, I hope some other will
follow me : let's make it a distributed manual project : one week per PDF per
person, the biggest are 10 games, average of 20 positions (with "!" or "!!")

let's begin by :

-The Most Important Novelty...
-Best Games...
-Anthology of Chess Combinations...

(note that may be 50% of positions will be too easy for current chess engine)
