I'm looking to get the 300 games from Tarrasch's "Dreihundert
Schachpartien" book. I don't need the text, I just want the games
themselves.

Does anyone know where I can download those 300 games all at once?

I have found one site that says it has them, but they want $29 to
join the site for a year. Surely those 300 games are available
somewhere for free? I think I remember them being posted in the PGN
format somewhere, but that was quite a few years ago.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've found it!

This Web site says that it has all 300 games from Tarrasch's book:
<billwall.phpwebhosting.com/>

The direct link to the file is:
<http://billwall.phpwebhosting.com/collections/Tarrasch-300_Selected_Games.pgn>

He has a number of other books' games up there too. This can be
useful for reading older books and going over the games on the
computer.

I think it was in one of these NGs years ago that compiling a .pgn
file of the raw game scores of games persented in various chess
books was discussed. I remember someone wanting the games from
Nimzovitch's "My System" so they could study the book on the
computer. I've looked around and I have not found those threads
anywhere I've looked for them on USENET, but it looks like Bill
Wall has gotten a lot of the books' games posted in one place.

Now I can get to studying a chess book from the 19th century and
I'm sure that doing so will make me a IGM in no time at all. ;^p
