Community project to collect chess games

Post by kevinfat » Wed Aug 10, 2011 3:17 am

Wouldn't it be nice if there was some community distributed project that maintained one mega database of all tournament games no matter how obscure so that everyone wouldn't have to duplicate the work of maintaining (merging, eliminating duplicates, ...) their own database.

Does anyone think that some kind of distributed protocol would work? (some kind of distributed hash table with a protocol built on top of it)

Are you familiar with http://www.chessgames.com? That's pretty close to what you're describing...
