CaissaBase was the starting point for CheeseBase. If you have been updating it with TWIC that is pretty good.CheeseBase has all that plus some computer vs computer and correspondence chess added. All data I found. Nothing original.My only contribution honestly is to take the lichess names and data of top players and add that to the database but using their formal names. This adds thousands of games for Magnus and Hikaru but also many of the top 50 or so players where I could find their lichess names.This brings the game totals for some players into the tens of thousands. Name search has issues above 9999 games but that has already been patched for the next SCIDvsPC release. In the meantime I use the filter function instead of name search. Free for all though. So free you can copy and paste it, change the name to JeromeBase and sell it for a profit.To criticize it. CheeseBase has dupes in the data. CheeseBase adds lots of lichess data but that adds a new pool of ratings and makes all the top rated games from these pools. Most all the lichess data is bullet or blitz and that pollutes a classical database. It is the largest collection of games for many top players though so there is some value there.I generally update Monday or Tuesday after Mark at TWIC does. Rarely is there other data. Maybe I will do another lichess dump or a chess.com dump for top players at year end but it was time consuming.ChrisSent from my Galaxy -------- Original message --------From: Jerome Monscavoir <jmonscav...@gmail.com> Date: 8/4/24 11:40 AM (GMT-05:00) To: Steve A <stevena...@gmail.com> Cc: scidvspc-users <scidvspc-users@lists.sourceforge.net>, chris.t.mac...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Scidvspc-users] New database Hello all,FYI usually i use Caissa-Base http://caissabase.co.uk/i don't know the differenceRegardsLe jeu. 1 août 2024 à 12:06, Steve A <stevena...@gmail.com> a écrit :Hi Guys,Just a little heads up for the adventurous about Chris' database. 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_linkI 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 Scidvspc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scidvspc-users -- Jérôme Monsçavoirjmonscavoir@gmail.com06 07 90 89 57
