How many of you quietly download and collect tons of PGN games that you patiently import into your database?  We all do the same and waste tons of time, effort and bandwith while we could all cooperate and make things so much easier!

Hello Benoit and everyone else,

what you are trying to do is going to take you a lot of effort and, in
some way, I think you are redoing a lot of work already done by others
such as TWIC. But anyway, your initiative seems very interesting.

What I think most people do regarding the issue is just download the
games from TWIC every week. But even for Mark Crowther is not possible
to reach all events. That is why in the Games section of
NowInChess.com I keep track of many tournaments not covered by TWIC
and offer them as a monthly download. You can aso use them for your
database, of course.
