They have a single download of all those games in one DB. Many of them are computer engines against other computer engines.. there are some others too, but not sure what they were .. (140K is quite a few to try to go through!)

Anything else out there with a few thousand games that are good to download? I was using chessgames.com, but, I don't like how you can't search for the moves like you can in the keys in Chessbase Light.

btw - it has to be chessbase, not light.. light has a 8000 limit I believe.. mine isn't the light version.

No, because all database moves are ignored by the game mods.
The game mods have actually already discussed/been discussing this.
One of us will post an "official" response here in the near future.

Received confirmation from Chris (using feedback option) that since its a database its fine.. its when you use a computer program to select what the next move is from your current position..
One of us will put up a more detailed response soon though.

Actually, tmetzler, this would open a whole can of worms.. 'cause.. what would the difference between this, and me using my db of games that have been analyzed with Fritz after the fact.. In the analysis, it would say I should have done something else, so.. my next game, I would do that something else.

Originally posted by MIODudewell, that would be using fritz/junior/whatever to choose you next move... or could it be classed as preparation? Would it be ligitimate to take my past games, analyse them all, find my blunders, and next time play the improved move (which, quite naturally was generated by an engine, and i've placed in the notes against my past game)?
