Where can I find a large corpus of chess commentary?
I'm hoping to find a corpus of play-by-play style commentary* for an NLP project that involves predicting game outcomes from such commentary.


I can't shake the feeling that with the huge interest in chess within the A.I. community, there must've been some previous project involving using chess commentary for some similar purpose, but for I can't find one for the life of me.

I have found a few sites like [Chess Games][1] that claim to have written commentary for some of their games, but most don't and there appears to be no way to sort them by this property.

*By 'play-by-play style commentary' I mean anything involving the game at hand and nothing more. E.g. everything from "Kasparov moved his queen to b3, taking Deep Blue's pawn" to "Kasparov's poor opening has left his Knight vulnerable" but not things like "Kasparov played a similar move back in his 1996 game" or "Kasparov's hair looks particularly pretty today".
