Which online database is the best?

Question

I search an online chess games database which should be free and it would be nice if no registration would be required.

I want to be able to search for the basic criterions year and ELO.

It would be nice if the database contains only classical games. It is annoying if rapid, blitz, blind and friendly games are also in the database.

Does anyone know a database fulfilling my criterions ?

Theres an input box on the right side of the search board.

It seems that I cannot even search games without a registration. I could not find an input box, only a text-box. But at least some new games with strong players are listed by default.

In total, I am not convinced ...

Chesstempo.com has the best I have found for free online. https://chesstempo.com/game-database.html

Also has index by opening, player, and comments. Plus other features.

If you will pay then chessbase is the best I have seen but I have not bought it to verify what it actually does have.
