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. With the red quick-navigation bar, you can also go to the most important areas of this site.

ADVERTISING

Do you want all the games
in one large database?
Opening Master:

A high quality chess database
with more than
8 100 000 human games.

ADVERTISING

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!

Do not wonder about the old-fashioned design of this page.
Indeed, it is... about 15 years old now, but I will not update it in the near future ;-).

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

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!

If you would like to support my work, read here.

ADVERTISING

Do you want all the games
in one large database?
Opening Master:

A high quality chess database
with more than
8 100 000 human games.

SUPPORTING MY WORK

Interested in supporting my work?
There are several possibilities:

First of all: Send me new links which I can add to my list!

Second: Please tell your friends about this collection (you can use a tell-a-friend script for that job), and if you have a homepage of your own, consider to make a link to my page (see some information for that).

Third: There are expenses for working-time, storage, software and the domain. If you enjoy this site and want it to grow and to be up to date, please consider making your online purchases by starting at this site. It costs you nothing, but I get a small commission from the companies advertising at my page for every sale.

Check out and use these pages
(just click at the banners):

or find even more
shopping possibilities here.

Fourth: If you would like to advertise at this site for chess-related, high quality stuff just send me an advertising email.

Thanks for your support!
