Dresden Olympiad 2008: Round 1 ALL the games in PGN
Thanks to Yusof again, I managed to figure out the directory and file naming structure from the official site to get the individual PGN files.
Wrote a simple script in PHP to copy the games into one file.
For those programmers out there. Here is the script if you are interested 
<?php
// get Dresden PGN Round 1
for ($table=1;$table<=77;$table++) {
for ($board=1;$board<=4;$board++) {
$filename = “http://schachlive.dresden2008.de/games/m/1/$table/$board/1″.sprintf(”%02d”,$table).sprintf(”%02d”,$board).”.pgn”;
$handle = fopen($filename, “r”);
$contents = fread($handle, 6024);
fclose($handle);
echo “<pre>”.$contents;
}
}
?>
As of this writing you can view but still can’t download any of the games. I’m sure this will be fixed soon but here is the Round 1 games if you are interested:-
