Oct-14-22  stone free or die: <Suzz> yes, he's a saucy lad, recently introduced to me by another <CG> user over at <Niemann> (I think). Fun to watch (in small doses, of course).

.

To quote - "What do you mean, <I>, fat man?!?"

<Have I cracked?> - fixed.

Same difference.

Oct-14-22  stone free or die: Huh?! (A too common refrain).

Could you elaborate?

(And what's the nodejs stuff doing in the url?)

  MissScarlett: I'm contending that the space between moves, e.g. <1. e4> as opposed to unspaced moves <1.e4>, constitutes the reason these games are not being flagged as duplicates.

If that's the case, then the duplicate recognition software needs to be tweaked to accommodate this. Alternatively, every PGN could be standardised to eradicate the issue.

  MissScarlett: I use two programs to transfer games to <cg> - ChessPad2 employs the space, SCID doesn't.

Old news... chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #39582)

<CG> should normalize the PGN retroactively, and in the future, when uploading - tis the right solution.

That is not the issue. Im looking into it

I have not done any changes to the nodejs script

Updates?

  petemcd85: Hey Z,

I apologize for the delayed response. This is a little explanation of what happens when a game is uploaded and why it didn't see it as a double

<When a game is uploaded:>
- Grabs the year of the game using the date PGN header
- Creates a game-key for the game to be uploaded
- Checks the Database for a game with the same game-key from the same year

It seems there was a bug due to a typo that used to turn Nbd2 into Ne2 instead of Nd2, as it's supposed to.
The first game was affected by this bug giving the game-key Ne2 instead Nd2.
There may be more games that were affected by this bug. If you find doubles just let me know i can delete one or merge them if they have comments.

<Game-key:>
- Removes spaces and other small updates to shorten PGN as much as possible - The problem below:
#--- re-ambiguate disambiguated moves (only first occurrences)
$moves =~ s/Nge2/Ne2/;
# $moves =~ s/Nbd2/Ne2/; <- Error. Flaw. Imperfection. Bugfix.
$moves =~ s/Nbd2/Nd2/;

First Gamekey:
Bd3Nc6Bf4Nf6c3c6d4cxd5e4d5exd5g6/Nf3Bg7c1c1Ne2...

Second Gamekey(correct):
Bd3Nc6Bf4Nf6c3c6d4cxd5e4d5exd5g6/Nf3Bg7c1c1Nd2...

Oct-19-22  stone free or die: Thanks for the reply <pete>, seems to be pretty complete (but I'll reread it in detail later).

I wish <CG> would regularize / normalize the PGN text to some standard, like SCID does, so that the text could be directly compared.

The gamekey idea is definitely workable (though I'm not sure optimal), but it's not exactly a standard - so I was confused a little bit by your post till I read it to the end.

May I suggest, in the future, helping your reader in similar circumstance with a forward referencing, i.e.

< -- Creates a game-key (see below) for the game to be uploaded>

The "see below" tells me it's a new term, and that you'll be elaborating in just a bit.

OK thanks!

Chandler vs Karpov, 1983

The pawn promotion bug has been fixed. You may need to hard refresh: cntrl+shift+r

  Eggman: I found a duplicated game:

P Cramling vs Korchnoi, 1984

P Cramling vs Korchnoi, 1984

It would make sense to get rid of the former page, since it has no comments on it.

I took a quick look at the games and they seem to have different endings. Do you know which one is correct?

  Eggman: P Cramling vs Korchnoi, 1984 is the incorrect one, surely. 32.Rd3 makes no sense, since it hangs a rook.

<Jun-10-03

the gamescore of this game is not correct. 32.Re3 was played, not 32.Rd3.>
