Flexing muscles in my data entry skill set (one that is possibly more pronounced than my ratings simulation coding skill set) I've taken to entering games (provided to me in paper form by Keith Smith) into .gcg files, the format created by John Chew.  Unfortunately all these games are pre OWL2 and as such are outdated in some ways.  However, it is still possible to learn from them so they may serve some purpose besides historical.

To do this feat I've been using a version of Quackle (feature still under development) that can read and write .gcg files.  Soon this feature will be available to the public and you will be free to peruse the games at your leisure.

You can still access the .gcg file with a format that's easily understandable if not yet easily displayable by going to the following directory

Amidst the .gcg files is a .png image.  It is a screenshot of Quackle showing the finished board of an OSPD2 game between Brian Cappelletto and Joe Edley played in Reno in 1992.

If anyone wants to move them to a more easily accessible place (cross-tables) feel free to do what you want with them.  They will continue to pop up as I continue to enter them.
