I am also thinking of creating a grandmaster chessbook using same technic. There probably is grandmasterchessbooks but i guess they take alot of space. Storing each game separat. Here they would be stored in a directory tree with intelinked draws overstored at each level, i am not really sure how one could store such though but it would be much like i file allocation table i guess.
