I have looked at my old code so many times and thought what was I on when I
wrote that.   Not only my personal code but code I got paid for.   The games I
used came from chessgames.com 1000 Best Short Games here:

https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chesscollection?cid=1034766

I used the short games to keep the video size below 5000K.

I always have fun.
