Data update? <3
Hi @christopher ,
First, thank you a lot for preparing and providing this data.
Could you please update the data? I personally would be very happy to have the full year 2025 (Jan-Dec) covered.
Best,
cekrse
Hi cekrse, thank you for the kind words!
We're currently rethinking how best to represent huge PGN files in .parquet and have paused exports. Hopefully this doesn't take too long. We're hoping to be back to exporting all PGNs by the end of June.
In the meantime, you can download the raw PGN files here: https://database.lichess.org/
Thank you for the quick response!
I was working with the already existing .parquet files until now, which worked well for me. Do you have a script or anything to share how to generate them from the raw files from the lichess database? Then I could potentially generate the files I need myself (monthly files up to the end of 2025).
sure thing, i'll do that later tonight!
Also curious about your usage patterns for the data, if you're willing to share.
Thanks! I am working on a research paper - happy to share with you when a draft is ready.
