What happened when you tried? I used a browser on which I'm not logged on to my ChessBase account, and had no trouble downloading either a single game or the whole set. Also, since it's a PGN download, you don't need ChessBase (with or without a premium membership) to replay the games - I used a non-ChessBase product to open the database, and it worked as well.
I wasn't trying to be dismissive about Abdusattorov-Navara, which was an exciting game. What I was dismissing was the Giuoco Piano, which I am unbelievably sick of seeing (a point made more explicitly elsewhere in the game set). Glad that the internet is covering the game, including IM (not [yet?] GM) Ris.
Dennis,
Is there a way to download your annotated games without a Chessbase premium membership?
Thanks,
Scott

Indeed. this works perfectly. Thank you, Dennis. When I tried the exact same thing on a different set of games last week, it didn't. Go figure.
BTW, the internet, including GM Ris, was more impressed with Abdusattorov-Navara than you were. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij5Fs-kQ3BM
Glad it's working!

No, I get it. Also sick of Italians. :-)
