BritBase.info - British Chess Game Archive
BRITBASE.info is an archive of British chess tournament games, for viewing online and downloading in zipped PGN format.
Click on the What's New link to find the latest files uploaded here.
As well as games, BritBase features full results, crosstables, contemporary newspaper reports, photos, etc. Also, there are some collections of games by player.
Britbase.info is a collaborative project. Help is always welcome. If you know where to get these games, let me know. If you find something that is not correct or wish to contribute material, please contact me via email. Any bulletins sent will be well-treated and returned.
This archive was started in 1997 and wouldn't have been possible without a lot of help and support from many other people. I would particularly like to thank the very kind people (listed on the 'Further Information' page) who have offered encouragement and help so far. Keep it coming!
NEW (28 April 2026): the BritBase games archive is also available via a user interface at chesspublishing.com which is ideal when you are seeking a specific game or player. The searchable database there has more games as well as more sophisticated search facilities. Do try it - it's completely free to use.
