Does anyone know where it is possible to find all the games played in the Millionaire Chess tournament, round by round, in PGN format?

The games of the top boards for rounds 1 and 2 are on their website, of all places.

Board 1 for the lower section is also available.

Are you expecting all games from all boards to be available? That seems unlikely. Where did you hear that?

It was done for the Chess Olympiads, in which there were 1800 or less players for some countries, I thought this tournament was more prestigious. Further now the new technology doesn't need anymore DGT boards for broadcasting games. Again, my mistake, I was under the impression this tournament was better than the okd ones.

I thought they were still using DGT boards at the Olympiad.  

I would be very curious to learn about this new technology that can record chess games without DGT boards.  What is it called and who makes it?
