     I am begining work on a chess program which will hopefully 
involve a significant amount of learning.   To do this I will need
transcripts of master and grandmaster games for my program to learn
from.  If anyone has a body of games online in a consistant, unambiguous
notation I would greatly appreciate it.

     Similarly, does anyone have an opening book for a chess program
which they would be willing to send me?  I would like something for
my program to start with and would be happy to send back any additions
or improvements I make.  Thank you for your help.
