where to download games of specific chess players

[Uri Blass]

I wanted to download games of GM Larry kaufman so I looked at

http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessplayer?pid=50429

I see 2 problems with the games:

1)There are only games from 1968 to 2008(no games from 2009-2010 and I know larry played in the senior world championship also in 2009)

2)When I try to download pgn I get the following message:

"Sorry, this feature is available only to Premium Members."

I do not plan to pay for premium membership in that site and
I wonder if there are better sources to download games of specific players.


3)One of my relative weaknesses in chess is the opening and I wonder what opening to learn.

Igor Khmelnitsky suggest in his book chess exam to find a very strong player that I like his style to adopt his opening repertoire.

I want to learn opening repertoire that will maximize my chances and I have no specific style that I like.
I have visualization problems so I thought that maybe it can be good to follow larry kaufman openings because he has similiar problems so he may know some openings when visualization is relatively less important.

Unfortunately it seems that GM larry kaufman changes his opening and has no constant opening so I think that learning from his games is not a good idea in order to improve in chess.

I would download the This week in chess games, that way you have a great database, then you can search for his games.

1. chesslive.de can replay and download games.

2.) If no Larry, then some openings expert?
Czech expert is example Jansa Vlastimil
1.e4 all,
white Scheveningen Sizilian, Ruy-Lopez, Sc4+0-0 from g6 in Sizilian, Nd2 French, Be3 Pirc.
black Scheveningen and Grünfeld.

Example experts for French: Uhlmann (and King Indian), Vaganjan ..., for Catalan and other Korchnoi ..., Karpov (example Naidorf Sizilian, Ruy Lopez, Queen Indian, after Caro-Kann)
