But I'd like to have some databases of some high quality games played by comps too? Any good sources or are they all generally kept private?
Games played online between engines in Playchess Engine Room are also interesting.

For games played before march 2009, do look at :

Unfortunately the owner of this site decided not to update this collection anymore.
Another source is :

I used to collect similar games from ICC but was accused of some form of robbery and had to stop. I suppose there are still people collecting games there but I do not know any public repository.

The way I see it Marc, you paid for them when you bought ICC membership. :shock:

Thank Goodness for FICS!
