 | | WannaBe: <chessgames.com: Somebody reported that the new "Spartan" browser (aka "Windows Edge") for Windows 10 can't view pgn4web. Embarrassingly, I don't have a Windows 10 computer handy to test this. Can anybody with Spartan confirm or deny? > Not able to reproduce the 'Problem', I am running W10 Pro Insider Preview Build 10162 and am able to see the diagram with pgn4web viewer. I can email screen shot if you require it.
<Abdel Irada> You smart-donkey!! =)) |
|
Jul-06-15
 | | chessgames.com: And you're using Edge/Sparta right? Good, that's reassuring. |
|

| | WannaBe: <chessgames.com> If the person who reported this can give more information (or if you have more info)... I'd be more than happy to give it another try to duplicate this problem. |
|
Jul-06-15
| | WannaBe: Sent you an email with screen shot. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. |

| | WannaBe: Ooooo... This Win10 is gonna be fun. Default Edge Browser opens all links. (e.g. email content, or email attachments...) And java is disabled (like Google Chrome). To get java to run, you have to type/run (No icon for this, you have to know the name of the executable) iexplorer.exe (IE11.0.10162.0), do the same thing with java setting, (trust site), change default browser to CVD II. Click on a game and wait. The debug console does not show anything... Which is different from Win7's IE11.0.9600.17843 But the board does show! =)) |

| Jul-07-15 | | Abdel Irada: <WannaBe: Ooooo... This Win10 is gonna be fun.> With luck, some of the kinks will be worked out by the time less daring users like me get around to adopting it. And this will be entirely thanks to intrepid testers like you, on whom the rest of us rely to go boldly where angels dare not tread. :-P (P.S.: Eeyore sends greetings, rather muffled because he can't get his head out of the honey pot.) ∞ |

oh, chessgames.com, chessgames.com
no one cares
cause they are the bomb,
they fall down stairs,
they curl their hairs,
they like to wear green underwear!
Oh chessgames.com, chessgames.com,
you can suggest a correction
or insult their mom,
upload a game,
create a false name,
or make all your posts completely inane!
Oh chessgames.com, chessgames.com
Albert Sandrin played chess with much aplomb,
we sent you a PGN,
an interesting win,
but where is it now, did u chuck it in the bin?> Albert Sandrin |

Jul-07-15
| | chessgames.com: Miss S, I don't see a game by Sandrin that you uploaded either in the current queue or in the processed queue, at least not submitted by yourself. Please upload it again and we'll sort it out. |
|
Jul-07-15
| | MissScarlett: Tis done, but I hadn't uploaded it before as you'd know if you bothered to follow the link. Anyway, it's only taken 9 years! After all my games are uploaded, we can talk again about my flag... |

 | | Annie K.: Not until you improve your meter and rhyme skills. :s |

| Jul-07-15 | | TheFocus: Methinks <Miss Scarlett> might be a fan of Theodore Geisel. |

Jul-08-15
| | chessgames.com: Is this the game: A Sandrin vs P Le Cornu, 1949? It didn't take us 9 years to upload it; there's kibitzing on the page from 2006. It would make a lovely GOTD in any case. |
|
| Jul-08-15 | | Benzol: I'm glad some submissions have been uploaded unfortunately mine don't seem to be among them. :( |
|
| Jul-09-15 | | Benzol: Thanks for finally clearing the uploads.
:) |

| | Annie K.: <Daniel> hey, you just can't miss a post that starts like this... :D <Developers had too much coffee during the last two weeks, and lichess took a big step forward. -- Improvements to Lichess - June edition> http://en.lichess.org/blog/VZFSxCsA... Heheh... srsly though, their (relatively recent) Opening Trainer (http://en.lichess.org/training/open...) is a brilliant idea, I'd like to see something like that here too. :) |
|
Jul-10-15
| | chessgames.com: Wow Annie, thanks for that link. That <Opening Trainer> is an idea that we've always wanted to somehow roll into Guess-the-Move but it never quite materialized. |
|
Jul-10-15
| | Annie K.: Yes, finally a tool that makes it fun to practice just strong, solid and sensible, openings, rather than looking for the usual endgame wild tactical shot - reminds us that if we want that sort of endgame chances, we have to know how to get that far first! And with the advanced Opening Explorer here, it should fit right in conceptually. :) Presentation should be a version of GtM, yeah. And I still think a mobile-friendly interface for GtM should be one of your higher-priority projects... You already figured out how to do mobile-friendly for the live games, how hard can it be?! With plenty of coffee, of course. ;) |

| | WannaBe: Strong, solid and sensible, openings?! What fun is/would that be?!!? Huh? Huh?? |
|

| | Annie K.: Hey, don't knock it until you've tried it! ;p
Oh, wait, I have a bunch of comp specialists here, and I just want to buy a new mobile - an Android this time. I'm kinda undecided between LG G2 and G4 - the G4 is new, and should be forwardly compatible for more years, but a lot of people say the G2 is almost as good, and a lot cheaper. What do you guys think? How soon until the G2 is hopelessly outdated? ;) |

| | MissScarlett: <Is this the game: A Sandrin vs P Le Cornu, 1949?> You know it is, so why was a duplicate uploaded? I thought the system disallowed them. Anyway, feel free to remove: A Sandrin vs P Le Cornu, 1947
There's also a problem with: Pillsbury vs W B Cravens, 1901 Please remove the extraneous variation from the score. |

| | chessgames.com: <You know it is, so why was a duplicate uploaded? I thought the system disallowed them.> No, I didn't realize that. Duplicates are not rejected if the moves are different, or if the year is different. In this case, the year was different (1947 vs 1949). <There's also a problem with: Pillsbury vs W B Cravens, 1901> Yes, we hate unattributed variations like that. Feel free to use correction for such issues. |

| | MissScarlett: <No, I didn't realize that> OK, keep your hair on.
<In this case, the year was different (1947 vs 1949).> Yes, the 1947 date was an error of the original poster. How was I to know the 1947 US Open wasn't played in Omaha, Nebraska? <Yes, we hate unattributed variations like that. Feel free to use correction slips for things like that.> Oh thanks, I will. The newspaper source was illegible at that point, so I had to try out both moves to work out which one was kosher. I notice that your correction of such has left the PGN file (http://www.chessgames.com/perl/nph-...) disjointed. Is there a fix that can normalise, i.e., beautify every PGN? |

| | chessgames.com: <How was I to know the 1947 US Open wasn't played in Omaha, Nebraska?> I don't blame you, that's par for the course. Then the duplicates get merged and if there is a contradiction about the year (moves, players, venue, etc.) we can attempt to tackle it at that time. In this case it was a no-brainer because the biographers already made the tournament page. <beautify every PGN?> Yes, there is a program called fixpgn will get it to soon enough. It scours thousands of games daily making sure that moves are neatly word-wrapped, that the ECO in the file matches what it says at the top of the page, that the plycount is correct, and a hundred other little things. |

| Jul-10-15 | | parisattack: This is not terribly important since I am migrating to Firefox soon, but curious: When I am not logged in games display fine and I can play through them. But when I login - I get the 'Java Not Supported' message. I'm guessing a Chrome issue - one of many nowadays it seems and the reason for the migration. |
