< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 221 OF 452 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-17-21    Stonehenge: Saint Louis Rapid (2021) Some blitz games are missing. Aug-17-21    MissScarlett: You mean, more courtesy draws by Wesley and Nakamura? Aug-17-21    Stonehenge: Well, I was looking into it, and the first problem was Nakamura-So or So-Nakamura. The game processor thinks it's a duplicate and rejects the game. But another problem is that TWIC has So-Naka and chessbomb (live games) has Naka-So. Aug-17-21    Stonehenge: Ah, I understand now, they played the same game twice. I know a workaround to sneak them in :) Aug-17-21    Stonehenge: Missing games (booooo So): Nakamura vs So, 2021 So vs Nakamura, 2021 Rapport vs So, 2021 Svidler vs So, 2021 Aug-17-21    Willber G: So boring. Aug-17-21    Z truth 000000001: Good 'un, <Willber>! Aug-27-21    MissScarlett: The latest leg of the Champions Chess Tour starts tmoz: https://championschesstour.com/ No Vincent Keymer, though, who won the recent Kramnik Challenger event. <The only question is whether Vincent will be able to play, since the final regular Champions Chess Tour event starts on August 28th and clashes with the European Championship, which Vincent was set to play. In any case, the victory is certain to give him chances now or in future! > https://chess24.com/en/read/news/ke... Aug-28-21    juan31: Cg : I must try 2-3 times to enter the site, or change to some function, " internal server error" Aug-28-21    juan31: < cg> now is fine ( Saturday) Aug-29-21    OhioChessFan: I had the same experience as Juan, 11-12PM, cg.c time yesterday. Aug-29-21    0ZeR0: Greetings. I was wondering if this year’s U.S. Open has been posted yet. I heard Aleksandr Lenderman won and am interested in seeing the games. Aug-29-21    MissScarlett: <I was wondering if this year’s U.S. Open has been posted yet.> Translation - <stonehenge>, jump to it. Aug-29-21    0ZeR0: <MS> Yes, I asked the way I did so as not to seem too demanding. I understand that volunteers like yourself and <Stonehenge> have lives away from this site. And I greatly appreciate your help in keeping this thing running. Aug-29-21    Stonehenge: <I understand that volunteers like yourself and <Stonehenge> have lives away from this site.> Don't bet on it. Anyway, I can't find PGN for this tournament. Aug-29-21    0ZeR0: <Stonehenge> <Anyway, I can’t find PGN for this tournament.> Darn, that’s a bummer. Is there a usual place where you get the PGN from? Perhaps I could try to find the PGN of the games from a different source? Aug-29-21    0ZeR0: I’m not sure if this is what you need, but it appears you can download the PGN for the U.S. Open by clicking on each of the rounds here: http://www.uschess.live/ Aug-29-21    Stonehenge: That looks like <1. Nf3 [%clk 01:36:51] d5 [%clk 01:40:29] [%emt 00:00:12] 2. g3 [%clk 01:37:14] [%emt 00:00:11] Nf6 [%clk 01:40:45] [%emt 00:00:08] 3. Bg2 [%clk 01:37:38] [%emt 00:00:38] e6 [%clk 01:40:44] 4. O-O [%clk 01:37:10] [%emt 00:01:26] c5> etc. But I'm afraid it's Netflix time for me, I'm closed for today :) Aug-29-21    0ZeR0: Oh well, it was worth a shot. I’ll keep looking for clean PGN. <But I’m afraid it’s Netflix time for me, I’m closed for today :)> Aye, enjoy your time off! Aug-29-21    MissScarlett: I thought TWIC was the go-to site: https://theweekinchess.com/html/twi... Aug-30-21    FSR: <chessgames> On August 28, 2021, <Jean Defuse> on Miss Scarlett's forum (MissScarlett chessforum) posted links to a book by Taylor Kingston on a site called mediafire. Mr. Kingston has informed me on Facebook that he did not authorize his book to be posted for download on mediafire. This is a theft of his intellectual property, in violation of copyright law. Please take Jean Defuse's comment down. (I am not operating as Mr. Kingston's attorney, but I wish to apprise you of this apparent violation of copyright law, and hence also of chessgames' rules.) Aug-30-21    stevemcd87: <FSR> The comment has been deleted. <0ZeR0> US Open (2021) We added the first 2 rounds. I'll be adding more throughout the day. I'm using a feature I am unfamiliar with to process them, let me know if you spot any discrepancies. <Stone> There seems to be a "flag" we can pass with the gameloader script that removes annotation, such as clock value. I can update the processor for editors to be able to pass that flag, if you think it may be helpful for other PGNs. Thanks for all of your help! <juan>, <Ohio> We've been making updates to CG's automated system over the weekend, it that seems to have helped with the spikes of Internal Server Errors. We should be seeing them less often. We are down to the last few, repetitive, errors and warnings. I believe I see the light at the end of the tunnel regarding these errors?. Aug-30-21    0ZeR0: <stevemcd87> Excellent, thank you! And will do. Aug-30-21    Stonehenge: The PGN looks odd, with all those gaps in it. Sep-01-21    Stonehenge: Not to mention a bunch of duplicate player files and duplicate games. Utter crap.
