   It has its technical moments, to be sure, but if you're interested in
   knowing the workings of the Elo rating system, have a look at [1]this
   article by Daniel Ross. On the other hand, if you're only interested
   in material that relates to chess improvement, the 2008 version of
   ChessBase's Mega Database has been released. You can read more about
   it [2]here. (It is fairly expensive, but look at it this way: how many
   chess books would you need to buy at $25-30 a pop to get 61,000
   annotated games?)
