Hi,

Is there anyone out there who knows of a chess database of say
5 to 10 thousand grandmaster level chess games? I can't really
afford to pay for a commercial program, so I'm hoping someone
can give me such a database for free. 

I need it to see if I can train a neural-net to recognize
board configurations. This is completely unfunded
research, so it's out of my own pocket.

Please send it to myoung@cory.Berkeley.EDU.
