 | | Peligroso Patzer: The following fascinating game from the blitz tournament at the Tal Memorial currently has an incomplete moves table in your database: Nakamura vs Carlsen, 2010. The missing moves have been provided on the above-linked page in a kibitz by the incomparable <Eyal> , so when someone has time, the complete gamescore can be entered in your database. |

 | | Phony Benoni: <chessgames.com> Back on November 12, you answered a question about the length of an introduction to a collection: chessgames.com chessforum Just reporting that Game Collection: Game of the Day Pun Index has gone over the limit, and the system reaction was cutting off the end of the text, just as you predicted. (Not to worry; I've recovered the missing portion.) I've leave the collection as it is for now, to give you some time to glance at it. |

 | | chessgames.com: Phony, OK we're enforcing a 64,000 byte limit now. (The technical limit is 65,336 but it's hazardous to get too close to the edge, just in case one day we want to do a find-and-replace or the like.) Peligroso, thanks, we fixed that game.
chessmoron, you'll be happy to see the Asian games are online. |

| | Phony Benoni: <chessgames.com> Thanks. When I went back and made a smalll edit, it was rejected with a message stating I was was over the limit. However, none of the text was cut off, so I could make adjustments without loss of data. If the problem comes up again, that should work nicely. |

I would like the Search Kibitzing function to have an option to search for the entire phrase. If I want to search for work done on a certain line, I'd like to enter something like "Bc4 e5". But now the function returns everything with "Bc4" and "e5". Also if I search for "25. Bc4 e5", it returns no hits! Apparently the period throws it off. This new capability would be a huge help in the Team games where analysis is buried in hundreds of pages. |

| Nov-26-10 | | Eyal: <CG> There’s a massive number of Grunfeld games that are mistakenly classified in the database as King’s Indian – games that belong to the "Neo" (or Fianchetto) Grunfeld, somewhere between D71 and D79, but are labeled as E60; that is, probably just according to their first two moves (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6). For example – all the E60s in
Opening Explorer, or
Opening Explorer, or Opening Explorer. Can anything be done about this? |
|

| | chessgames.com: Eyal, yes the approach is to define the specific FEN for the positions which you believe should be regarded as Gruenfeld Defense positions. Then we put that into our opening identification software and reprocess the games which could be effected. Ideally we can find the earliest possible branches in the opening tree which define the Gruenfeld. |

I'm concerned about the pie chart on the home page advertising the members choice for Natalia's move in the Pogonina v The World game. Surely this gives an indication of what the members believe to be the best move for her in the given position. It just doesn't seem right to me. It's like offering her the results of our analysis, and splashing it over the front page. |

 | | Domdaniel: Homepage pie chart = very bad idea. |
|
| Nov-28-10 | | dakgootje: Ohhhh, I thought it was only visible on the ChessBookie-page. With the chart as homepage-material, this is most unfortunate. Is this really the first time our expectation is on the front page??? |
|
Nov-28-10
 | | Annie K.: Owwch. Onto the pie chart bandwagon - take it off, please. |
|
| Nov-28-10 | | computer chess guy: You should pick up the games from the Adrejez UNAM tournament. Polgar beat Topolov in a King's Gambit! http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/chessne... |
|
Nov-28-10
| | chessgames.com: We agree that the Chessgames Challenge pie-chart should not be on the homepage. We still like the ChessBookie bets themselves, as long as the GM in question is not a participant of the ChessBookie game (and none, to date, have been), but the fact that it got picked for the homepage was an unfortunate coincidence. |

 | | kingscrusher: Hi Chessgames
I am not sure I mentioned this before, but is it at all possible to have a dynamic search link from the tournament name - e.g. Christiansen vs Kasparov, 1982 The "Moscow 1982" could ideally be a hyperlink to other games from this tournament - and ideally dynamically construct the crosstable if it was an all play all event?! The crosstable for the event is:
http://www.worldchesslinks.net/ezdp...
I would like ideally to conveniently see the other Kasparov wins from this World championship qualifier tournament. Best wishes

| | kingscrusher: Just also to extend the idea - especially world championship qualifier events for World champions as top priority, is it possible on the Kasparov page: Garry Kasparov
To list his world championship qualifier events - and also for the other official World champions. I guess this would be a lot of research work, but it would provide another "way in" for checking out the Moscow 1982 qualifier event. |
|
Dec-01-10
| | kingscrusher: Just one more thing - the "Interzonal events" which are the World championship qualifiers as I understand, might be picked off from the following reference page: http://www.worldchesslinks.net/eza0...
If the players involved on their pages had emphasis on their Interzonal event participation, that would be cool. I guess the top priority was to list the world championship matches, but after this I think the Interzonals are important to also emphasise on player pages. |
|
Dec-01-10
| | kingscrusher: Okay just for clarification and I really think this is my last mention of this: Wiki defines "Interzonal tournaments:"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interz...
"
Interzonal tournaments
The top players in each Zonal tournament would meet in the Interzonal tournament, which would typically have between 20 and 24 players. The top finishers (e.g., the top six in 1958) would qualify for the Candidates Tournament, which would take place the following year. They would be joined in the Candidates by the loser of the previous candidates' final and the loser of the previous world championship match. The winner of the Candidates tournament would play a 24-game match with the World Champion the following year, and need to win outright to gain the title." |

The "Moscow 1982" could ideally be a hyperlink to other games from this tournament - and ideally dynamically construct the crosstable if it was an all play all event?!> That would be ideal, but there is a big hitch, especially for older tournaments. These days, many of the tournament games come from official sources which carefully standardize the tournament name information. This makes such links as you mention possible. But games from older tournaments (and, yes, 1982 is older) came from many different sources, and the tournament name information was not standardized. For instance, Kasparov's games from this event have these tournament names: Izt (cat.12), Moscow (Russia)
Moscow izt
Izt ( cat. 12 )
Moscow
Moskva i 25/239
Standardizing the tournament names to make these links possible would be an enormous clean-up task. |
