Let me know when you've downloaded these, so I can delete them from my server:

I've got them, many thanks.

Really good of you to make the effort and I concur with NimzoRoy's sentiments in Post #20.

Most helpful. Thanks.

I used TWIC to update my Big Database from ChessBase for many years. With CB 11, however, I started using their automatic update feature instead. Then, they parted ways with Mark Crowther and that stoped working.

I fell a bit over a year behind in my updates of BD 2012. With the help of this thread, I have rectified that.

Hi,

You can try to recover all twic filers in the github :

If anyone is looking for any issues of TWIC PGN, please let me know, I managed to download all the issues, cept I'm missing some of the files (I'm looking for PGN for issues 90, 100, 131) and I'm always willing to help out (BTW: I think Mark didn't release issue 90), but I don't really know if Mark allows people giving away back issues of the magazine in PGN (I've also added ECO information to each game, this is before Mark started doing it himself). I'm currently working on a TWIC dataBase for those curious (and another version of the GriphBase). Anyhow, just putting in my 2 cents worth.

Yeah well, I wanna get his input, but I'm not offering the database for obvious reasons, I just want a reliable database, if Mark wants a copy of my work I'd be more then happy to send it to him. Someone has already offered the Twic dB, up to issue 965 as is., and their dB looks messy. So I had to re-do it.

Philip,

I only have TWIC 843-1051 and would really like to have the issues up to that point. I can only use PGN (not Chess Base). Can you help me? - Rick

I have links to TWIC 1-1026 (complete) on my website in both PGN and SCID formats.
