My game database

Post by jimloy »

A checker player recently asked me for a copy of my database. I tried to send it by email, and after an hour or two (I was asleep when it happened), the process errored out saying the file was too big. I tried again after zipping the file to 25% of it's original size, and got the same error message. So, it's too big. Besides, it is a hodge podge (what kind of podge?) of many smaller files with much duplication. For example, the 2004 U.S. Nat. is in there three times. Some day I will rebuild it. But, right now it is a pain in the neck. I will gladly send pieces (specific tournaments or matches) to people, as long as they don't want dozens of files.

Most of my stuff is on the Internet. See the OCA currently at http://www.fierz.ch/download.php. Also see http://usacheckers.com/show_game_start.php. The archive on the Nemesis site (http://www.nemesis.info/archive.htm) may have some stuff that the OCA doesn't have. I put some of the Scottish tournaments at http://groups.msn.com/TheSDA/general.msnw but they are probably all in the OCA.

I will be uploading older U.S. National Tournaments (and some World Championship Matches) to the ACF archive, eventually. And if anyone wants a specific tournament or match (or several of them), contact me at jimloy@jimloy.com.
