IIRC I had for some time collected pgn files in a special download section, but it seems I somehow sacrificed it during restructuring and probably also because of limited bandwidth at my previous provider. Guess, I will add concentrated pgn files again, if there is enough space. A note in case we mean something different, the info table with clickable headers for sorting I meant was here(there is also a diagram link for the development in numbers of free WB/UCI programs): http://rwbc.volker-pittlik.name/wb_chron.htm I have to disappoint you though for your last remark. It is quite long, since I participated also in the RWBC tournaments, because it is very time consuming and exhausting to play in a swiss 21 rounds tourney. A swiss tourney cannot go on, if the previous round is finished, hence it can be a nasty obligation instead of some fun. It is also difficult to decide, if one should play as one normally does against Humans, or if one should play anti cchess with better success. I always decided for the first option, of course this led sometimes to horrible time pressure(specially at the given rapid tc 40/15min or 40/20 earlier) and weird blunders. However it's still nice to play them from time to time without that pressure for finishing another round. Well, I forgot the point about publicity I see. That's quite simple :) Too much publicity also can create too much pressure, like being forced to update permanently, answering more and more mails, handling complaints, being stalked by trolls and so on... I am happy with the 'publicity' I have reached in certain circles, that's sufficient for me and if it starts boring me I can stop at any time or make a long break :) Guenther
