Game Downloads

I agree with this - nice idea!

I certainly wouldn't be happy if was playing at the highest level ( which I certainly don't) and finding that chess Scotland or any other organisation was selling my games. My games belong to me and my opponent.

You only have to look at, for example, the ChessBase mega database or Chess Publishing ebooks/pgns to realise the potential for this.

I like the concept in general, but there is also a minor benefit to making the game downloads a member-only feature... Two of my opponents from the World Junior actually used the CS game downloads prepare against me as I had no recent games in the Chessbase database - just a point that this may (or may not) disadvantage Scottish juniors (and adults, of course).
