LINK COLLECTION TO CHESS GAMES AROUND THE INTERNET WHICH YOU CAN DOWNLOAD FOR FREE

01/05/07: findandlinks!
AND
I have implemented a guestbook. It would be great if you would sign it!

Dear chessfriends,

welcome to millions of chessgames (pgn, cbf, cbh, cbv, nic, si3, ...) around the internet which you can download for free (no fees, no registration, just click and download). Below you find links to free downloadable chessgames at the internet I have found since 1997. You can get chess of the best players in the world as well as open tournaments and chess of lower level. You will find large databases with millions of different games as well as small archives. You will find current chess activity as well as historical chess. You will find classical chess, correspondence chess, computer chess, annotated games and lots more!

I have sorted the links by topic or by region/country in alphabetical order (it is important for me where the most games or the most interesting games at one page are from) and I give you some information about them.
Below you find a worldwide list with links to games from all over the world and a national list with links to games from specific countries. These two lists are categorized again. If you want to jump quickly to a category please use the following quick-links No. I and No. II below the next information-sections, otherwise please scroll.

NO TIME FOR HOURS OF SEARCHING AND DOWNLOADING?

Then read here:

I have put nearly all the chess gamefiles I have ever downloaded from my linklist in the last 8 years on in the meantime five CDs (or one DVD); if you have them you save the time and the money to search for and download about 3000 MB of chess data (even including files from sites which are not online any more - e.g. some very large databases can not be found any longer).
You will find thousands of tournaments and millions of different games of every level, of every year, of every region, of every kind of tournament,...

To learn more just have a look at the data-information page.

What about signing my guestbook?
Many many people did it before, it is much fun to read all the entries!

Do you want to get informed when my link collection is updated? Send me an email to join my newsletter. Of course your email address will remain confidential.		Help me to collect more download links! If you find a broken link or if you know a link which is not in the following list please send me an update-email.
If you like my page, perhaps you can tell your friends about it (a small tell-a-friend script might help) or make a link to it? You can use descriptions and a banner in different sizes if you want to!
