Database of human games with engine evaluations?

[smurfo]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to find an existing database of human games that includes engine evaluations. I guess that this must have been done before for some small subsample of MegaBase or other large tournament database. Does anyone know if one exists and is publicly available?

I'm not sure if 'Computer Chess Club' is the right place to post this, but then again, I'm not sure where else either!

Chessbase's Live database is the only such db I'm aware of. Regular membership gives you access to it from either Fritz or Chessbase GUIs via Let's Check function; a Premium account is supposed to allow it via your web browser.

Here are the games from Human World Championship from 1985 to 2010 with ChessGameAnalyzer : viewtopic.php?f=2&t=63296&p=707686

Enjoy !

Thanks Vinvin. What I am after actually is a dataset with computer evaluations for every move (at a minimum: The evaluation of the played move, and the evaluation of the objectively best move in that position).

All the moves are analyzed except the book moves.

A way to achieve what you want:

Run pgn2fen against a pgn file like this:

pgn2fen myfile.pgn -e -l > myfile.epd

Then use any tool you like to analyze the Epd file.

I have a specially modified version of SF that writes the analysis directly to disk with a hard flush.
You can also use Arena, but that kind of thing is a little problematic.
