I see that Chessbase has recently turned itself into a partial pay site - they want €50 per year to download annotated games (and they want to know who you are before you can download any unannotated games).
I'd be surprised if anyone is prepared to pay that.

Not really. For now, they just need a username and an email address, which can be created for the purpose or just fake.Ian Thompson wrote: (and they want to know who you are before you can download any unannotated games).
