Below you will find a collection of matches between expert players recorded and transcribed at major tournaments. You will need the appropriate software to read the files; all so far are for eXtremeGammon (.xg). If you have transcribed matches that could be included, contact julia@ukbgf.com; we’re not looking solely for low-PR performances as it can be just as instructive to see real-life mistakes.

Note: for annotated games, click on the balloons next to selected moves to see the commentary. You can enlarge the commentary by right-clicking in the commentary box and selecting the zoom icon.
