10 million chess game database

Ref OP, why would ye really need such a download anyway ? ?

Thanks

It's been five years since he logged in, sooo, he probably won't answer that question. You'd probably need the database if you're looking to waste a lot of your time and bandwidth...

Good point, should have posted as "..why would anyone need such a download anyway ? ?.."

Probably for data reasons, such as finding most common openings or blunders and stuff like that

The problem is that the OP gave no information as to what's in the database. Without downloading it and delving into it, you don't know anything about the quality of the games, the type of games (human, engine, amateur, pro, etc.), the number of duplicate games, etc. Unless I can get some assurance of the quality of the database, it not worth my time to download it.

And does anyone have a clue why @jazicr keeps posting his games to this thread? lol

I think jaczir might be posting the database's games here? And yeah if you want a database you can use lichess's game archive its more robust and you can choose what rating you want

Who would have the time, patience and inclination to trawl through 10 million games anyway ? ?

A computer

Honest question... why would you download all those games? What do you do with them?

data reasons there are a ton of projects that have used the lichess database for example
