Grand07.pgn available
Posted: 01 Mar 2007, 20:27I have made available my collection of long time-control human games from 1999-2006. It is suitable for building opening books as well as being a valuable collection of games of this era.
Grand07.pgn is a filtered collection with players having at least a 2300 elo. All the games were played from 1999-2006. There are 169K games in pgn format.
Filtered out were games with 25 moves or less, Internet games, Computer games, simultaneous games, exhibition games, blindfold games, short and medium time-control games, etc.
The games are organized by opening. The game tags are organized in a standardized way. The moves do not wrap around.
This pgn collection is suitable for making a neutral type of engine opening book. There is a wide variety of openings.
The book is available at Jim Ablett's Winboard Chess Projects
