<MissScarlett> I thought about you this morning for another reason- I stumbled upon a book whilst researching Vladimir Fedorovich Ostrogsky and it features extensive information on <Pillsbury> blindfold play, including a robust list of game scores. At any rate they are offering a free pdf download of the book here: https://xdoc.es/download/hearst-e-k... |

Hmm the owner of the "web service" is not shy about letting folks know who he is. He offers a wide (and exceedingly incongruous) list of books, or "stories" as he calls them, and gives contact details: Contact information

 | | MissScarlett: I've seen some of that book via Google Books. On Pillsbury, I prefer to wait for Pope's book. That'll mean another 500 games on the queue. |

<MissScarlett> Yes, we all await The Pope to be sure. I have no doubt the work will be stellar. In the meantime, I've been perusing the book. It features a very large number of Blind Simul game scores from <Pillsbury>, <Reti>, and many others, including the perhaps overly ambitious Vladimir Fedorovich Ostrogsky . It seems he *did* break Pillsbury's world blindfold seance record, when he was but a Category 2 player. However, his results in his record breaking seance were arguably less than stellar. In addition, he didn't play "23" opponents- many of his opponents played 2-4 boards against him. So he really played against 10 different people, not 23, scoring 58.7% To be fair, we are told that most of his opponents were Category 1 strength. |

Did you find out how the editor page produced a duplicate game, one with patronymic and one without? On related news, the editor page will not parse any foreign accents at all. FSR chessforum (kibitz #2783) So if you process this game currently in your box: [Event "Bad W�rishofen Open t"]
[Site "Bad W�rishofen GER"]
[Date "1994.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Eckhard Schmittdiel"]
[Black "Julian Michael Hodgson"]
[Result "0-1"]
[Source "Chess Monthly, July 1994, p.10"]
[PlyCount "78"]

Kd3 h5 35.Rg5 Qf4 36.Qe2 Qc1 37.Ke4 g6 38.Qd3 Re8 39.Qc4 Nd6+ 0-1 Then the � (#65533) will get even uglier, looking something like this <�> in the published game header. I had to fix that ex post facto for FSR.
So no foreign accent marks at all. Only Roman alphabet letters. |

<Good evening>
I wonder if you know how to get the "official correspondence type" in the published game header? I just uploaded this correspondence game with the following tags: [Event "BCM Corr prelim-02"]
[Site "United Kingdom"]
[Date "1908.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[Result "0-1"]
[White "William Timbrell Pierce"]
[Black "Fred Dewhirst Yates"]

W T Pierce vs Yates, 1908 =======
You can see that the game type in italics does not appear in the published header. So my question is = is there a special "game type tag" and what is the syntax of it? Example a tag that looks like this:
[GameType "Correspondence"] |
|
Jan-17-21
| | MissScarlett: <So my question is = is there a special "game type tag" and what is the syntax of it?> I believe there must be an algorithm or whatever it's called which assigns game type. I'd assumed it was set by the admin who uploaded it, but when I've uploaded games with blitz in the event field, it recognises it and lists the game type as blitz. So I would assume it recognises <corr>, <rapid> and variations thereof. The default would be classical. |

 | | Stonehenge: After uploading a game it says <This game needs to have its gametype assigned.> for a while. It takes a few hours or so. Other similar software doesn't work.
For example Carlsen vs A Diamant, 2003. I've changed the ECO code in November but it still says <Scotch Game: General>. Also, after changing a player's name I don't think it gets updated in the PGNs. |
|
Jan-17-21
| | jessicafischerqueen:
<Stonehenge> Where does it say <This game needs to have its gametype assigned>? I have never noticed that. If I do notice it, how do I "assign the gametype"? |
|
Jan-17-21
| | Stonehenge: Where it normally says <This game is type:>, under the kibitzing area. As long as it says <<This game needs to have its gametype assigned.> you don't assign the gametype. When it's finished and it has assigned the wrong gametype, you can submit a correction slip. |
|
Jan-17-21
| | jessicafischerqueen:
Aha! Ok thanks <Stonehenge>. I believe I understand now. So I see that the game type has indeed appeared in the header of this game: W T Pierce vs Yates, 1908 It just takes a while to process I guess. |
|
Jan-20-21
| | MissScarlett: <Also, after changing a player's name I don't think it gets updated in the PGNs.> No, but you could do it manually. |

<Good Evening>
I put this here because I'm not sure I want to put any noise on Sultan Khan vs R N Coles, 1929 . Just this evening my copy of Daniel King's new biography of <Sultan Khan> arrived, and I'm still reading the first chapter on the "All-India championship" in Dehli 1929. I just skimmed a bit more after reading your post, but I didn't see anything about <R.N Coles> or "Hybern." There might be something in there though. |

| | jessicafischerqueen:
This is a good point:
Biographer Bistro (kibitz #21591) I will switch the tags out to put "-" in, but I would prefer to type out the word "match." Anyways I will do this on <Sultan Khan> and <Atkins> pages. |
|
Jan-27-21
| | jessicafischerqueen:
<Good Evening>
I finished converting the <Sultan Khan> match games to this format now: <Scarlettborough - Zanzibore m> I was just going on to the <Henry ? Atkins> page to convert the match game notations when I noticed this: Henry Atkins Henry Atkins I am certain you will figure something out. What about an international law to prevent people from naming their nobody children after world historical chess masters? Might be the simplest solution. =======
Anyways.
I'm glad you, and now also <Stonehenge>, are taking point on rationalizing our player names. Long overdue. |
|
Jan-28-21
| | MissScarlett: As with the various <Max Lange>s (helpfully there's also a <Maxwell Lange>), I think we need to just suck it up and accept that duplication exists as to names as well as games. Need we employ middle names or initials to differentiate them? I'm not so sure. |
