Re: [Scidvspc-users] New database

G’day
It’s SCID format. It has many more games than CaissaBase hence a bit bigger.
I’m running it, it works fine, it only takes a few seconds to load.

So, is this CheeseBase in SCID format, PGN, or Chessbase?  It's AWFULLY large and a bit concerning since it's too large for Google Drive to scan for Viruses.

Caissabase isn't that large.

Very much appreciated the work.  I have been using CaissaBase but the update cycle is slow.

Hi Guys,
Just a little heads up for the adventurous about Chris' database. CheeseBase (which i guess is a pun on the name Chessbase!?). I don't have heaps of bandwidth and don't even use big DBs much, so thought to throw it out there. He plans to update it often, and reckons
I have updated CaissaBase to the current date and fixed many issues in CaissaBase that I noticed.

I also added many of the top players games from lichess and converted their names to their formal name so they would show up in a player search.  I also added a lot of correspondence chess and computer vs computer chess.

I don't have ChessBase, but I suspect CheeseBase is the largest collection of Magnus Carlsen games in the world available currently with 17,805 games.

If you wanted to include a link to my database, called CheeseBase, you can.  It is free software.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vLP1ftIYy7A6HHZuRW4VX_64lV5ZYp3j/view?usp=drive_link

I update the above link usually every Monday or Tuesday with games from TWIC / Mark Crowther.  The link shouldn't change, I update with a new version when I upload.

And off-topic, but i have to link a video of a recent Crunchlabs GM event/rapid... eventful stuff .
