Thanks for the congrats...you are a good lot running this site with all the nutters like, whose that chap, Ichard Ayler or someone? and others....arguing the toss and grumbling...

Thanks for the offer. Here the weather is quite strangely beautiful but not always as hot as it usually is...it has a strange effect on me. This leads to more than my usual laid backedness...chesswise and in other...But I must load up (whatever) some of my more interesting games. Then sign off so to speak, I mean, I doubt I will play much of interest at my advanced age! But maybe I will surprise myself!

Ironically, part of me had been hoping to do badly, so badly I would stop tournament chess; but one thing that gave me pause was that the mother of the talented young player Oliver Picken asked me during my last game to the effect had I seen Oliver's game and "He likes sitting beside you. He gets very nervous." Oliver of course, I call 'Oliver Twisty Dickens' and he played a similar game to me. He proudly said after his win: I set up a defense ( a kind of KI - Hypermodern thing ) and then waited for my opponent to overextend which the Australian player did and then he was a gonner! (I also beat my young Australian opponent. I felt a bit bad but then, these guys I beat are almost all younger than me!!) Oliver is about 14...the winner was 15. An IM who is due to become a (he has two "norms" I think...) GM...incredible.

That very poem taught me, way back in college, not to be quick to judge something as nonsense.

Unfortunately, due to the PGN and automation, a player can have multiple games (4, or 5) all listed with the same date.

Example: Babu M R Lalith

And would it be possible to put this stuff in a table for vertical alignment?

But it does have the correct round numbers, which could easily be used to automatically update the games.

I think the wrong dates are a fiction create by <CG>, fwiw. I think the PGN supplied by the tournaments should have the correct dates.

But in any event, keeping the date (even if incorrect) is important to know what game is what. I trust the correct date would eventually show up.

That's working exactly as intended. If you go to (say) Alexander Grischuk right now you see several games from Dec-30-16 played all on the same day at the World Blitz Championship (2016).

The problem you've encountered, I believe, is that the PGN for Tradewise Gibraltar (2017), from day 1 all the way to the end, was given to us as January 28th. Obviously that's not the case. It's almost like somebody thought the date field was used to designated when the event ends, I don't know.

<It's almost like somebody thought the date field was used to designated when the event ends, I don't know.>

Did they just mix up the Event/EventDate fields?

It used to have a line at the bottom of each page that says

<ANALYZE: Play this position with Little Chess Partner>

Clicking it, you'd get a pop-up window of the Java-based Little Chess Partner where you can play the game from the given position.

Since we no longer officially support Java, and many new users clicked on that link only to be sent into a morass of confusing installation instructions, that feature is suppressed for all members except those who have their viewer set to any of the Java viewers (i.e., anything other than pgn4web and text.)

Hopefully this will make things easier for new members and the old-hats still have the functionality they've grown accustomed to.
