Here is a jump-off point that shows all the best hunting grounds:

It turns out that we are lazy ameteurs.  There are at least two people I know of
who have collected a lot more than either of us.  A certain mystery man, "M. L."
is sending me ~2.75 million games via snail-mail.

>And from where i can suck the 2Megs?
From my ftp site, of course.
ftp://38.168.214.175/pub/

I don't carry the a.pgn,..,e.pgn files any more.  Only the individual files in
the subdirectories a-openings,..,e-openings.  Too much space and too many
complaints about the big files.
