{a bit off topic} New iteration of Junkbase

[Dann Corbit]

The whole thing, in one big SCID file set (about 300 MB):
ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/Scid/junkbase.sg3.bz2
ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/Scid/junkbase.si3.bz2
ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/Scid/junkbase.sn3.bz2

The individual compressed PGN files are here (sorted by ECO):
ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/a-openings/
ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/b-openings/
ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/c-openings/
ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/d-openings/
ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/e-openings/

A bit over 3.5 million games. Filtered for Duplicates by Pgn-extract, then
Chess Assistant, then Scid (two cycles each program filtering).

Still a lot of crappy stuff in there. But hey, free chess games.

Either you've got a supercomputer, or that must have taken like forever!
Nice work.

Hello Dann,

Thanks for the games.

Data junkies the world over, unite!!

For we have found the land of happiness.

Set your download folder and leave the machine to grab the good stuff.

Three hundred mb of data does not go down easy.



Later.
