Usually, they offer the download of PGN files that you can import into your own databases. You might want to check out e.g. - TWIC http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/twic.html Here you'll find recent events on a weekly updated basis - Pitsburg Chess Archive http://www.pitt.edu/~schach/Archives/ Here you'll find a huge game collection (also in PGN) sorted by various criteria like players or tournaments or... To name just two major sources. Some additional link collections that might be worth to check out - Chessopolis Archive Colletion http://www.chessopolis.com/archives.htm Gives you a bunch of links ot other collections - Chessville http://www.chessville.com Gives you also a bunch of links to various collections and also some training material - Lars Balzers Collection http://www.chessgameslinks.lars-balzer.info/ A link collection to quite an ammount of games and other ressources. Additionally, some federations offer their games for download depending on your interest you might find something on their sites as well. (E.g. ICCF offers a game base, IECG as well...)
