Where to get PGN files: Connect via anonymous ftp to chess.uoknor.edu. In the directory pub/chess/PGN you will find thousands of games in the PGN format. Also the newest 'Standard' file is available from there. Where to play chess via internet: If you have access to the internet, you may want to look at ICS, the Internet Chess Server, where you can play chess against people from all over the world. There exist two servers, one in America: telnet ics.uoknor.edu 5000 and one in Europe: telnet anemone.daimi.aau.dk 5000 On the european server the chess engine of AmiBoard plays under the name 'Amy'. Amy runs on a Sparcstation 10, using about 8 MB of Hashtables. As I write this text, Amy has reached a blitz rating of about 1850 on the european ICS.
