Grandmaster Chess Games

A searchable collection of 136,972 chess games from 91 players: 52 of the strongest grandmasters in history (every world champion plus the world's top modern players) and 39 more who faced them. Browse by player, opening, sacrifice, event, or year.

Type either player's name (full name, last name, or even a fragment like "naka") into the Player 1 and Player 2 boxes. The dropdown shows matching players. Click Search to find every game where the two faced off, regardless of color. Player 2 is optional — searching with just Player 1 returns all of their games.

Games are sourced from PGN Mentor's curated grandmaster collections, deduplicated across players (so a Carlsen-Nakamura game appears once, not twice). All data is freely available for chess study.
