Update 02.06.2025: It appears the change to the FIDE player structure was temporary. The original format has been restored, and we were able to once again supply the *.DBF files for download in their original locations.
In our player database section (available for members only), we have recently removed the *.DBF database formats. These formats are generated based on FIDE and national player records. A change in the FIDE player structure currently prohibites us from converting the files to *.DBF formats one-to-one.
As we believe these *.DBF files are no longer in use by the broad chess community, we have decided to just no longer offer them.
Do you have a use case in which you need / rely on these *.DBF database files? Please reach out through fide@frbe-kbsb-ksb.be

11.06.2025 - 22:23Un tout tout grand merci Georges !! GĂ©nial.
Si jamais tu as ceux entre 2000 et 2007 je suis aussi intĂ©ressĂ© car je sais qu’il m’en manque certains mais je ne sais plus exactement lesquels.
Et je me souviens qu’Ă une Ă©poque il y avait aussi le fichier Oldplayer mais qui a disparu. L’aurais-tu par hasard ?
Merci.
