45,213 chess games now available here

Recently a number of countries have established websites which are repositories of chess games in electronic format to be made available to chess players in general. This site is intended to hold games of Australian Chessplayers and games played in chess events held in Australia.

It will be a long term project and will require the co-operation of many people. Many games are not currently available in electronic form and will need to be converted from bulletins and the personal records of many chess players.

Many files placed on this site will be incomplete. If you have any information to help complete these files please don't hesitate to contact the Games Archivist.

Files will be stored in PGN (Portable Game Notation) Zipped to conserve space and to quicken the download. PGN is handled by many chess databases and other chess software.

Any comments, complaints or offers of assistance should be directed to the Games Archivist, Paul Dunn.

Errata

Number Date Description
1 23 September 2001 Bagirov-Koshnitsky, Round 1, Australian Championship 1960 (move 40 was Bxh7 should be Bxa6) corrected in version 2 of pgn file.
2 15 March 2009 1898 Australian Championship between Jacobsen and Jonas is not now counted as an Australian Championship match, even though at the time it was advertised in the newspapers as an Australian Championship. The 1912 Australian Championship was not on the Ozbase database website and so the numbering after this championship is still correct. The 1912 Championship match has been added and the chronological table has been corrected.
