 | | Tabanus: Hmm I think it's best if CG correctly counts the number of games for each player in the event. Daniel's system worked very fine, 99%. |

 | | stevemcd87: <Tab> We've made an update to the "Edit Standings".
It's seems to be working now, at least for the tournaments I checked.
Let me know if you spot any discrepancies.
Thanks for the help. |

| | Tabanus: Miracle <Steve>, it seems to work again :) I'll check more later. Can we upload games again? I could add the 5 missing from GCT Bucharest Classic (2021). Oh and the GCT Paris Rapid & Blitz (2021) games should be added. |

 | | MissScarlett: <In the Administrative Game Editor the date of newly uploaded games keeps saying <0000 ? ?>. I have seen that problem before and it's rather annoying.> But the problem resolves itself shortly, doesn't it? So why worry? |

 | | Stonehenge: <But the problem resolves itself shortly, doesn't it?> No it doesn't, at least not anymore, unless the exact date is filled in. I remembered where I have seen this problem before: with a bunch of Unzicker games. See for example Munich (1979). |

 | | jessicafischerqueen:
Looks like <Stonehenge> is correct... the old date bug that self corrects around 3 hours later no longer self corrects. This must have something to do with the recent site code updates. So time to call <Stephen> again to add to the list of things to fix then. |

| | Tabanus: I just read this two posts from 2009:
<Notice that, by far, the most common error is an extra “ep” after a pawn’s EP move. That’s not supported by the PGN standard and (honestly, after so many years) it shouldn’t be that hard to remember.> <On top of that, the “correct” game R Hart vs P Garbett, 2008 has two half moves more (24… gxf4 25.gxf4) which gives CG an extra reason to prefer it. One other minor trouble is Black’s Elo which is 2354 in one PGN and 2338 in the other. Again, the “correct” game is more consistent with the rest of New Zealand Championship (2008).> |

| Jun-27-21 | | Paint My Dragon: <Tab> I've just realized ... if you substitute the correct swear word for each item of garbled, broken text, the whole passage becomes more or less readable again. And then simply run it backwards to reveal the satanic musings of Aleister Crowley. Nice to know that these posts still have value all these years on. |

| Jun-27-21 | | Z truth 000000001: PmD - ha!
Beware though... an <Aleister Crowley> reference?! <Offramp> can't be far afield. |

Appears to be something wrong with my account on the editor's processing page. I sent you an email with a screen shot- the "update submission" button refuses to display the update- only shows the Date tag and nothing else. When I try to process, it says Rejected for "no date". |

Sorry brah I figured out the problem- my pgn was malformed. Everything ok! |

| Jul-07-21 | | Z truth 000000001: Steve, a couple of items...
1. Your bio should probably carry a word or two about your role here on <CG>. 2. RE: <utf-8> issue This one bugs me, as it has been going on too long, affects so many posts across the site, and probably was avoidable from the get-go. So, I posted some explorations in the other forum: chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #36212) Not sure how familiar you are with unicode issues, so I'll try to be brief. UTF-8 is essential, and <CG> is almost forced to use it. That means both in the DB and the perl code filters, as well as the HTML. For MySQL 5.5:
http://download.nust.na/pub6/mysql/... http://download.nust.na/pub6/mysql/... Note the constraint on backwards compatibility via utf8mb3. You probably have the MySQL 8 documentation at the ready, so let's skip ahead. I think quite a bit of the problem is the handling of 3-byte utf-8 characters. Certainly they are involved in the quotes and apostrophe characters that represent the bulk of the problem (for me). Consider the opening / closing double quotes - “ ” (In this post I used HTML entities to get them, instead of copy-paste or direct character insertion) The utf-8 codepoints are:
0xe2 0x80 0x9c and 0xe2 0x80 0x9c
I know that Daniel had a boatload of auto-magic processing for post input handling, e.g. C.N. 9669 (here he inserted a link to Winter's chess site). I guess it's whatever script-filter is behind the <whattodo> form. That script is a critical suspect in the handling of utf-8 as well as the DB. My explorations via <Preview Kibitz> shows the filtering has a big effect, which I presume is before the bytestream is stored in the DB. Let me try to just type out the double quote characters via utf-8 cut-and-paste (verifiable C-= in a Emacs buffer): ? ?
Ah, this previews correctly here. So the filter seems OK this past. But what if I actually post - what bytes got stored? I suspect the quotes will disappear in the actual post. Let's see... (to be continued) |
|
| Jul-07-21 | | Z truth 000000001: Yuppers. The quotes have become <? ?>. Whoopsies for <CG>. So, could you please fix this sometime soon?
You have the freedom of picking the encoding in your DB, but it should go in, and ultimately come back, as utf-8. Unless you want the extra complication of detecting the encoding each of your users use (which will almost certainly be utf-8 for most cases anyways - but you know your base better than I). |

<Stephen>
All of the "notable games" and "notable tournaments" have been erased from the Rashid Nezhmetdinov page since the site update. I am wondering how many other player pages have had the notable games and tournaments erased? "notable games and tournaments" have always been calibrated based on how often they appear in member chess game collections. |

| | MissScarlett: Returning to the issue of null moves, I can edit them into a PGN move list, but is there a chess program that permits their use whilst entering the moves of a game? Is there an easy way to identify and count how many games in the database are at the odds of pawn and two (i.e., those games for which a null move would be preferable to using a FEN Setup)? |
|
| Jul-13-21 | | Z truth 000000010: <Missy> For Q1: Yes, SCID allows them.
Just use one king to "capture" the other.
The gui returns the aggressor to it's original square, recording a "--" null-move in the PGN. Olga (or Aria) should allow the same. |
|
| Jul-13-21 | | Z truth 000000010: Which raises the question - are there any programs that allow king captures? (Some blitz variants allow this)
I'm sure the PGN can be hand-edited in such cases, so it's lower priority. |

I've noticed an increase in errors since 11:38 EST.
I'm looking into it.
Sorry for the inconvenience. |
