Welcome to the IECG Archives Page ! Here you can download most of the games played in our club during 15 years.

Archivist team

The databases represent of course a lot of hard work by the archivist team, which has seen many volunteers with years:

• Jean-Luc Duriez (head)
• Thomas Niessen
• Laurent Tinture
• Leif Edvin Waerstad
• Lutz Nebe
• Pascal Paris
• Fausto Alava-Moreno

Scope

Most IECG tournaments played by email or via the server in the last 15 years are included in the archives. The tournament specifications are summarized below.

The generic specification is TT.YYYY.S.NNNNN where TT is the tournament type as descibed below, YYYY is the starting year (exception: for the IECG championship it is the year of the final), S defines the tournament stage and NNNNN is the individual tournament number.
