Can you please provide the link to the game(s) you are referring to?>

You can use this PGN:

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e5 4.Nc3 d6 5.e4 Be7 6.h3 0-0 7.g4 Ne8 8.Bd3 Bg5 9.Bxg5 Qxg5 10.Nf3 Qe7 11.Qd2 Na6 12.0-0-0 Nac7 13.Ne1 a6 14.f4 b5 15.Nf3 Bd7

for this:

(The game move was actually 7...Ne8)

<After blacks 7...Nbd7, the computer suggests a better line starting with a6.

Typically you can go to the previous move
(Whites move 7.g4), click on <engine> and get the full line. In this case it says:

<Sorry, no analysis for this position.>>

...and this:

<14.f4 b5 ? = 0.00 (29 ply)>

<15.Nf3 ? +1.08 (9 ply)>

This PGN:

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e5 4.Nc3 d6 5.e4 Be7 6.g3 Nbd7 7.h4 h5 8.Nh3 g6 9.f3 Nh7 10.Be3 a6 11.Qd2 Ndf6 12.Be2 Bd7 13.Ng5 0-0 14.0-0 Nxg5 15.Bxg5 Ne8

for this:

<10.Be3 a6 ? = 0.00 (27 ply)>

This PGN:

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.d5 e5 4.Nc3 d6 5.e4 Be7 6.h3 Nbd7 7.g4 h5 8.g5 Nh7 9.h4 g6 10.Be2 a6 11.a4 0-0 12.Be3 Rb8 13.Nh3 Kh8 14.Bxh5 gxh5 15.Qxh5 Qe8

So, <g15713>, you could try the html entities (e.g. < &#9812; >) for now if you can't wait for the fix.

The game Tal vs Korchnoi, 1955 appears in Mikhail Tal , but not in Viktor Korchnoi ?

I just changed the event tag to reflect that this game was played in the semifinal, not the final.

Game collections cannot be updated with chess symbols while changes in the title work

One can use html entries in either decimal or hex but only temporary

One makes a change and then one goes back to make another change and everything goes back to question marks - ?

Hallmark of good programming is to test your code before sending it out to the users.

As suspected, there was indeed a delay bug in play on Tal vs Korchnoi, 1955 being entered into the <Tal player page game list>, but not into <Korchnoi's>.

The last time I checked before bed, several hours after 6:19 pm PST, the game was not in Tal's list. Now it is 3:25 pm PST and the game has been added to <Tal's list>.

I would like to hear from you that you intend to investigate the bug reports I make with the goal of actually doing something about them. Especially I would like to know you intend to do something about the original date bug that you and I investigated together over a year ago now.

I would especially like to hear that the original date bug (and it is most definitely a bug that significantly interferes with my work), is something that you know how to fix. At the least, I expect you to try. Just "leaving it" as the status quo does not work for me, since it means manually entering a huge number of entries in the date fields AFTER I have already dated the pgns properly. It might not seem like a burden to you, but try entering 30 or more pgns at once and having to return to each upload - and manually enter several changes into the edit box date fields. I remind you that these days the "wait for three hours or a day" auto "fix" is no longer reliable. I recently had to manually re-enter the date/site/venue information on a large number of uploads and I was not happy about that. I have not worked on adding a large number of games from a given historical event since that experience.

There was already an <S Sanders> to which the game was attributed: S Sanders

I created another one and my belief is that the attempt to reassign the game was not well received.

<Do you think it is worthy for the GotD tomorrow, in light of Dan's birthday>

<Stephen> Ok thank you- I will follow you in this then.

If I use the upper right button to flip the board to view the game as Black, then it only remains this way for a few moves before automatically flipping itself back to White's viewpoint. Any subsequent flip by me is reversed again on the next move.

I also noticed a problem with Sax vs Anand, 1986 , a previous GotD, and used as testing.

In <PGN 1>, after move 7, it gives a better line starting with 7...a6:

<7.g4 Ne8 better is 7...a6 8.♗d3 h6 9.♘ge2 ♘h7 10.♘g3 ♖e8 11.♕f3 ♗f6 ⩲ +0.57 (34 ply)>

When you go to white’s 7th move (7.g4), and click on <engine>, it shows a different line starting with h6:

<1) +0.41 (22 ply) 7...h6 8.Nge2 Nh7 9.Ng3 Bh4 10.Bd2 Nd7 11.Qf3 Re8 12.Nf5 Ndf8 13.Nxh4 Qxh4 14.Be2 Ng6 15.O-O-O Bd7 16.Kc2 Rad8 17.Qg2 Ng5 18.Qg3 Qxg3 19.fxg3>

I don’t know if this line:

<better is
7...a6 8.♗d3 h6 9.♘ge2 ♘h7 10.♘g3 ♖e8 11.♕f3 ♗f6 ⩲ +0.57 (34 ply)>

was left from my testing?

I notice it’s at 34 ply, while the new line:

<1) +0.41 (22 ply) 7...h6 8.Nge2 Nh7 9.Ng3 Bh4 10.Bd2 Nd7 11.Qf3 Re8 12.Nf5 Ndf8 13.Nxh4 Qxh4 14.Be2 Ng6 15.O-O-O Bd7 16.Kc2 Rad8 17.Qg2 Ng5 18.Qg3 Qxg3 19.fxg3>

is at 22 ply. I usually test with the max <4 Fuel/move> it looks like your testing was done with 1.

In <PGN 2>, it shows black’s move 7 as an error: <7.h4 h5 ?>

and recommends a line starting with 7...O-O:

<7...O-O 8.♘f3 ♖b8
9.♗e2 h6 10.♘d2 ♘e8 11.b3 ♘c7 12.♗b2 ⩲ +0.66 (31 ply)>

When yo go to white’s 7th move, and click on <engine>, instead of the <7...O-O> line, it shows:

<Sorry, no analysis for this position.>

<PGN 3> does the same.

It shows 7...h5 as bad:
<7.g4 h5 ?>

♖ecommends a line starting with h6:
<7...h6 8.♘ge2 ♘f8 9.♘g3 ♘g6 10.♘f5 ♗xf5 11.gxf5 ♘f4 = +0.36 (24 ply)>

When you click on <engine> you get:

<Sorry, no analysis for this position.>
