In order to avoid heavy server load and client-side busy script errors, file size is restricted to 10 MB. This covers most of the game databases offered for download throughout the Internet. But even with a few hundred games there may be some seconds delay. Please be patient! Remark that I switched to the new ChessBase reader and the result page opens a new browser tab now. This change became necessary in order to improve the usability on mobile devices.

Whenever you find something like this, you can post it here:

The game must have one header line at least otherwise it won’t get parsed!
