Body: <p>I have tried to look for historical chess games (i.e. 19th century to early 20th century). I usually use Chessbase online database and <code>chessgames.com</code>. </p>
  
  <p>I have never paid for a database or database subscription, but I was wondering if anyone knows whether they tend to have more complete historical games than the free options available on these chess websites? </p>
