Is it possible to download a big txt file containing many openings? I am creating a small chess engine for a CS class, nothing serious, i need to read the openings from a txt file or any format, i can go to websites like chessgames.com and download individual games, but i was hoping to download big files containing many openings and so much data, especially on the dragon variation, but any data will do. So is there a place where i can get my hands on that kind of data?



Thanks for all the guys who answered, I upvoted all of them and accepted the one I think is the best, so grateful for all of you guys, i just want to add a site that i found today by mistake, here
What you're looking for is a PGN file that contains several games. You can parse the game data and enter in the opening moves. A great resource is PGN Mentor where you can browse openings and download the appropriate PGNs.
