This isn't an end of the year recap thread, it's a database question. My database is open source....which means it's as good as the games I feed it (1.5 million and counting), and I want to make sure I'm getting all of the best tournaments of 2018 before I start grabbing all the new tournaments that are already happening in 2019. 

I got the obvious ones (Tata Steel, GCT tournaments, Russian championships). And I picked up some less obvious ( Women's championship, US championships, World Rapid). But I know that's nowhere near complete.

Which ones should I absolutely not skip over before beginning on 2019?

Do you get the stuff at TWIC (This week in Chess)?

I have gotten a lot of stuff from there. So the method is to click through the archive on TWIC and grab everything. I shall do so!
