I don't believe an all games option has been available, at least not since I have been a member. It's always been one page of the archive at a time

For example games with player hapu66. Between 20190714-20220604 is missing 22 games on downloaded games. Probably the reason is Chess960. These missing 22 games was Chess960-games. First missing 960-games was played 20191117 and the last was played 20220130.

I'm not sure if there are any regular human chess games missing from the downloaded file?

I did a quick check of the last about thousand games and they seemed to be in the downloaded file. There were some differences in the game dates. In my old game-file, the game date was one day newer than the one I downloaded now. Strange, because not all games had changes in the game date. I'll try to look into this in more detail in the next few days. I have to use several programs and tricks to get comparable data.

I started this thread in 2013 and there was function "Download all my games in one PGN". Chess.com sent the games as an email attachment. When function disappeared, I asked for your support on this matter and I got answer 20130306; "We did remove the option to download all games into one PGN. You are still able to download a page of your game archive at a time."

I check my email and I found message from chess.com (20130111) with attachment what's include 1707 games! Filesize is 1,1Mb. This proves 100% what I said today and year 2013.

Yeah, you're right. Started looking around and found some other references. I think maybe it was limit to a game type? I remember a download option but thought it was still limited in the number of games.

From the references I found it was removed due to the process taking too many resources.

I've added the option to download all games, including chess 960 etc. at https://chessgamedownloader.com/

Neilgd72 you are the greatest! Now your site working very well. I clean my old files (removed old and computer games before 20091101). I compared the file downloaded from your site to my old file and the file from your site was clearly better. Downloaded "site-file" include 10954 games and my old file include 10898 games. Your site found 56 more games! Manually loading one page at a time easily causes errors.

Really great work!! I'm very happy that there is now a way to download games at once (all or from a desired period). Thank you very very much!
