My current FIDE.spf is slightly beyond the Top 100, counting 5036 individual entries which should be all that is available today. If this is completely free we're in a good league already. (Mega2006 offers some 9516, about 6500 photos beyond FIDE, but of course it's (c) ChessBase.) The whole spf is approximately 40M as .spf.gz. What would be the way to distribute it? Ie. where to put it for download and how? -- Kind regards, / War is Peace. | Freedom is Slavery. Alexander Wagner | Ignorance is Strength. | | Theory : G.
