| Feb-23-19 | | crawfb5: Michael Rohde has about three dozen <ICCF - corr> games credited to him. These are actually games by CC GM <Wolfgang Rohde> (https://www.iccf.com/player?id=8219...). If memory serves, I submitted a correction slip at some point in the past. Either way, should be fairly straightforward corrections. |

 | | Tabanus: Thanks <Annie>. I updated the links and will start working backwards from 2018. Without having round no. and date in the lists of games ;) Umm, Corus Group C (2006) can't be edited because of the banner. |

| | Tabanus: I just clicked through Tata Steel Masters (2018). Added Hilversum & Groningen to rds 5 & 10. Found about 5 wrong dates (off by 1 day) and 5 games with missing round number. For the remaining events I'll follow the schedule, but don't know about games played on rest days due to illness (2001-2017). |
|
Feb-23-19
| | Tabanus: Tata Steel Challengers (2018), no wrong dates or round numbers. I've seen this before, the main section has more errors, why? Let me guess: because of the rond by round import. |

It is a record of 100 games played between J. F. Emmett and Vivian Fenton during the winter of 1864, and published by Delahodde, Rue Royale, Boulogne, 1865. The authors say they had these printed as 'a memento of a long and dreary winter, which, with its rapid rounds of frost, thaw, fog, rain, snow, hail, gale, flood, and mud, left them little else to than to sit behind the Staunton ivory.’ The notes to the games are extremely quaint, and readers were asked to regard them as the small talk of the home fireside, round which they were made the time.” We give one example....> (submitted)"> Is there any chance of the other 99? One internet blogger seems to have the book. The games sound interesting. |

 | | MissScarlett: These games seem to have little or no merit beyond historical curiosity. Haven't found any evidence that either player was otherwise connected with the game. But to save <offramp> the trouble of <algebraicising> all the rest, Whitehead's DB is available here: https://www.kwabc.org/en/jay-whiteh... |

| | Tabanus: Tata Steel Masters (2017) : fixed about 2-3 wrong dates and 6-7 wrong rd. numbers. Three rd. 13 games had rd. 11. Why, oh why? If the software does this, let me know. |

 | | Chessical: I have a file (a notepad txt file) with all the missing games from the Wageningen Zonal. This amounts to 87 high quality games. I would like to submit them to the Database in order to complete a games collection for Zonal. I emailed Chessgames on 10th June 2018, to discuss uploading but obviously sad events overtook it. Can we discuss this? |
|
| Feb-23-19 | | zanzibar: <Chessical> if you wish, I'd be willing to prepare and publish the games on my blog. As an interim solution only, of course. |

https://www.kwabc.org/en/jay-whiteh.....> Many thanks for that link to a very good old database. It saved me the trouble of using my <algebraiciser>. The venue of the Emmett-Fenton games is given as Bristol. I think it should be Boulogne. The games are pretty wild and interesting, and what can be wrong with that? |

 | | Annie K.: <crawfb> Done. :)
Here's the new player record: Wolfgang RohdeHow about these two games?
W Krahl vs Rohde, 2001
H Kroll vs Rohde, 2001 <Tab> I asked Sargon to pull the banner from Corus C 2006. You are correct that uploads from different days can cause errors, though that's the organizers' fault, not ours... also, another issue that can result in non-conforming pgns is the games we set up from live relays, which will of course just about always be games from the Masters sections. <Chessical> do you have the email to resend? It would be simpler for us. We'll be on the lookout for it this time. :) |

H Kroll vs Rohde, 2001>
Thank you! It <very> likely is Wolfgang. He, Krahl, and Kroll are all German ICCF players. The games are not from an ICCF event, however. DESC is <Deutcher Email Schach Club>, so this would be a national, not international tournament. It almost certainly is not Michael. |
|
Feb-23-19
| | Annie K.: I think I'll transfer those two to Wolfgang as well. We can always put them back where we found them if somebody objects... ;) <MissS> check out gids 1945044-1945092 . :) |

| | MissScarlett: J Mortimer vs Blackburne, 1890 and Blackburne vs E Schallopp, 1890 ready to be added to Manchester (1890). How or by whom can this happen? |
|
Feb-23-19
| | MissScarlett: Meanwhile, the uploaded London (Vizayanagaram) (1883) games were automatically promoted. Why the difference? |
|
Feb-23-19
| | Annie K.: The difference was that there was an earlier event (with a lower tid) titled Manchester 1890 in the database, so that's what the software came upon first, and assigned the games to it. I moved them over. |
|
Feb-23-19
| | MissScarlett: If the software used EventDates in conjunction with the Event field, this wouldn’t be an issue. |
|
Feb-24-19
| | Tabanus: If Annie continues like this I may have to take the fly back. |
|
Feb-24-19
 | | jnpope: I just posted all the games from a small event: 1902 Paris, 1st Masters Tournament, Café de la Régence. Hopefully one of you dedicated lunatics can port it over to this platform: http://www.chessarch.com/archive/19... (back to editing v2 of Pillsbury before MissScarlett kicks me in my posterior) |
|
Feb-24-19
| | MissScarlett: This game (Janowski vs J Mason, 1902) needs fixing (the event field is incomplete) to promote it into 13th DSB Kongress (Hanover) (1902). What I don't get is, when I manually correct the field to <13th DSB Kongress (Hanover)> it won't allow it: <FATAL ERROR: YOU CANNOT MODIFY THE EVENT TAG OF A GAME IN THE TOURNAMENT INDEX.TRY SUBMITTING A CORRECTION SLIP IF NECESSARY.> Surely this is a misstatement. If the game was already in the tournament index, I wouldn't be trying to promote it. |
|
Feb-24-19
| | Annie K.: I wonder if the script has some kind of a quirk to do with parentheses in event names. Anyway, I transferred it now. |
|
Mar-02-19
| | Annie K.: <Tab> check your game submissions at gids 1945415-1945422. |
|
Mar-02-19
| | Annie K.: Uploaded submissions by <Jean Defuse> at gids 1945423-1945430. |
|
Mar-02-19
| | Tabanus: Thanks <Annie>. I'll have a look tomorrow. Btw I just mailed 45 games to CG for "Corus Invitation Tens (2003)". I'm planning to make Corus complete :) |
