Hello,
I am a web developer contracted by Chessgames.com<CG> to help maintain the website.
<Feel free to report any bugs here.>
<Update>
As far as chess, I currently spend most of my free time doing puzzles on Lichess.
I recently made it to the 2400's, playing the random puzzles.
My goal is to make it to 3000 by the end of the year but it's unlikely, I would have to make it to the 2600's by the end of September 2021 to have a chance.
Below, I will keep a list of the tasks at hand.
We haven't decided the order on which the task will be done but we take in account on how long the task might take and how important it is.
<Bugs:>
1) UTF-8 issue - <Z Truth> stevemcd87 chessforum <Tab> chessgames.com chessforum
<beatgiant> will be leading this issue.
1) Apache Error Log - Review Error log to identify pages that aren't working(Unresponsive store page) and investigate random Internal Server Errors
<beatgiant> will be leading this issue.
3) Missing "notable games" and "notable tournaments" from player - <Jess> stevemcd87 chessforum
We are setting up the old servers to use as a testing platform.
It will help to debug this issue.
4) Random Game Feature: Feature leads to bad links - <Messiah> chessgames.com chessforum
