G’day It’s SCID format. It has many more games than CaissaBase hence a bit bigger. I’m running it, it works fine, it only takes a few seconds to load.

It's AWFULLY large and a bit concerning since it's too large for Google Drive to scan for Viruses. Caissabase isn't that large.

CheeseBase (which i guess is a pun on the name Chessbase!?). I don't have heaps of bandwidth and don't even use big DBs much, so thought to throw it out there. He plans to update it often, and reckons I have updated CaissaBase to the current date and fixed many issues in CaissaBase that I noticed. I also added many of the top players games from lichess and converted their names to their formal name so they would show up in a player search. I also added a lot of correspondence chess and computer vs computer chess. I don't have ChessBase, but I suspect CheeseBase is the largest collection of Magnus Carlsen games in the world available currently with 17,805 games. If you wanted to include a link to my database, called CheeseBase, you can. It is free software. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vLP1ftIYy7A6HHZuRW4VX_64lV5ZYp3j/view?usp=drive_link I update the above link usually every Monday or Tuesday with games from TWIC / Mark Crowther. The link shouldn't change, I update with a new version when I upload. And off-topic, but i have to link a video of a recent Crunchlabs GM event/rapid... eventful stuff . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMBCK9sy9Rs cheers S.A. _______________________________________________ Scidvspc-users mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scidvspc-users
