I put together a pgn collection (Grand06.pgn) of recent (human 2300+) games from 2000 to early 2006. Filtered out were games of 20 moves or less, duplicates/twin games, internet games, blindfold games, blitz games, rapid games, exhibition and simultaneous games, chess960 games, correspondence games and more . I also fixed errors. The collection has 159K games.

I also formatted the games to avoid move-wrap and shortened the width to 70 characters.

This collection can be used to make opening books for chess engines. It can be filtered further if you use a database manager like Scid.

Hello Norm,

Thanks much for your data.

Us freaks will grab it early.



Later.

Hi Norm,

Very nice
If you'd like me to host it for you, let me know.

Regards,
Jim.

Hi Jim,

You must have worked hard to make such a big collection. I am impressed.
