I am downloading now. What sold me was the word, "quality".

Sounds good. Though if you've already got it in Scid format, could you make that available too?

How did you determine they're all quality games? Are they handpicked?

Makes sense.

MillionBase 3.45 - 3.45 million (human) quality chess games in PGN and SCID format. The 2 yearly TWIC update, added 550.000 new games from the years 2018, 2019 and 2020. Database up to date till October 6, 2020.

Edit, as far as I know it's the first times TWIC published computer games, TCEC in particular. Quite some recognition for computer chess.

The first 1.5 million came from the Chess Assistant, later some dutch guy added 210,000 games, the rest are TWIC games. TWIC = quality.

I made a SCID version:


Don't wait too long to download, because I won't leave it forever

Many thanks Ed! And now Dann has uploaded Scid files too.

Much respect to Ed. Thanks for this database update.
I am wondering if there are similar DB solely dedicated to engines matches. I mean a consolidated PGN containing archived TCEC, SSDF, CCRL etc. engine games.
So that in case I needed to see specific novelty in GM games, I can shift to Engines Only Database (EOD) to see if it was already done or how engines treats the position.

I am confident there are people who maintain such a database, however I am not one of them.
