<Tab> Well ok then. |

 | | stevemcd87: <Jess> I wouldn't recommend editing all of your game collections. As <Tab> mentioned, <beatgiant> will get to it. It's a difficult and tedious task he is up against but has been making progress. Sorry for the delay. <Tab> I made an update to the script.
It would no longer remove the crosstables.
I used Reykjavik Open (2008) as testing.
Let me know if you spot any issues.
Re Gameloader:
I can see why a pop up for every game is a bad idea.
So, for now, we'll only use a pop up to force duplicates.
We may need to do it for player names that don't match exactly what's in the database(to avoid the issue <Stone> mentioned stevemcd87 chessforum ). I suppose we may be able to find out a better solution for that issue when I find out what the problem actually is.
I'll keep you posted.
Current Plan, this may get technical(Feel free to google the terminology in quotations):
I'd like to start using "NodeJS" for our new features. "Perl"(our current language) is not the best language for the features we'd like to add.
If I'm not mistaken, "HTTP Long Polling" will allow us to get updates from the server as it uploads the games, which will allow us to make decisions during the process(eg. letting us know if there is a duplicate and giving us an option to force or skip) .
Also, I'd like the process to automatically update the Player's page and repertoire when the games are uploaded. This will make the processing take a bit longer so I think the constant feedback from the server may be reassuring to us.
Example of server feedback:
'Games have been uploaded (100 games)...
Updating 'Player's Name' page(1 of 20 players)...
Updating 'Player's Name' repertoire(1 of 20 players)...
Updating 'Player's Name' page(2 of 20 players)...' This is just a thought, I'm all ears.
Thanks for the feedback. |

 | | Stonehenge: Something easy for you to do
<TOURNAMENTS ADDED BY CHESSGAMES STAFF> here New Tournaments obviously have to be ordered by playing date not by uploading date, as is now the case. |

Oct-12-21
| | stevemcd87: <Stone>Thanks for the easy task, keep them coming.
Current Tasks, while we contemplate the Gameloader:
1) stevemcd87 chessforum Looking into how Notable Games and Tournaments are established.
2) Look into how to properly update the repertoire of a player.
Repertoire Explorer: Magnus Carlsen (white) Shows 1999-2018(should be 2021)
Repertoire Explorer: Magnus Carlsen (white) Shows 2002-2021 Once again, I'm dedicating this week(and most likely next week) to the editors.
Speak now or forever hold your peace... thanks for the help. I think my next task will be Live events. My uncles are disowning me until I get that running. |

| | jessicafischerqueen:
<Stephen> Thank you, and I am sorry to have been so impatient lately. I have no excuse! |

 | | MissScarlett: <Once again, I'm dedicating this week(and most likely next week) to the editors.> At first glance, I thought you said <defecating>. |
|
Oct-13-21
| | stevemcd87: <Jess> I found and ran the script that generates the "Notables" for players - Rashid Nezhmetdinov .
One of the requirements for the script to process a player is for the player to have a rating of 2320 or higher.
I appended <Rashid Nezhmetdinov> to the "Exceptions" list for the script to run.
I have yet to find any logic referencing Game Collections for player selection.
Let me know if there are other players you'd like to add to the "Exceptions" list.We also made an update to the Opening Explorer page.
Let me know if you spot any bugs.
I will begin the update to the Gameloader feature to be able to force games. |

That is great work, thank you so much! |

| | MissScarlett: Could you remove the game <Marshall - Stodie> from my GOTD list? Added by accident; I was actually trying to delete it. |
|
| Oct-16-21 | | Messiah: We need more <Messiah> GOTDs. |
|
Oct-19-21
| | MissScarlett: Another quirk in Opening Explorer |
|
Oct-19-21
| | MissScarlett: I'm thinking I ought to run the pun <By hook or by crook> for S Sloan vs W Hook, 2009 by <cg.com>'s legal department for approval. |
|

| | MissScarlett: <We need more <Messiah> GOTDs.> Would be unprofessional of me to comment, but something Christmas-themed might be looked on sympathetically. |

| | MissScarlett: If you search on the main page for <Down> you get <Sorry, we have no names that exactly match 'DOWN' in our database.>, but there is such a player: Henry F Down |
|
Oct-21-21
| | MissScarlett: Why did this game not go through? Blackburne vs W Potter, 1875 |
|
Oct-22-21
| | jessicafischerqueen:
<MissScarlett>
Might the Henry F Down be related to the <So> mystery? We went through that a long time ago and many times since, with people vowing to "fix it" but obviously nothing has been done about it. Apparently if a two letter name that is also a word is typed in to the search box, nothing comes up. If you type <Yu> in to the search box you get over 9000 hits. Try it. Since <Yu> is not a word in English, it possibly escapes the "So" bug. Anyways I wonder if there might be some similar cause in the <lock> example? |
|

| | jessicafischerqueen:
If you type "od" into the search box it gives you Sereenen Gan-Od . But if you type "So" into the search box it gives you JACK. You'd think the admins/tech would give a crap about this since Wesley So may well become world chess champion sometime in the near future. But the ods may be against anybody being arsed to figure this out. It's been complained about since <Daniel> was still in charge. |

| | stevemcd87: Re Opening Explorer :
The similar nodes have different FENs, one ending with <KQk> and the other with <KQkq>.
I'm assuming <KQk> is correct because black can no longer castle from the queen side.
I should probably update all nodes with <KQkq> to <KQk> to resolve this issue.
It seems it's the more recent games with the "correct" fen.
I'm not too confident with FENs yet so I'll wait a day before I make the changes, in case someone would like to chime in.Re <Down> <So> mystery:
The problem was because of MySQL's stopwords, you can find a complete list at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.... , under the "Stopwords for MyISAM Search Indexes" section.
I updated the ezsearch and the advanced search feature to use REGEXP( https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.... ) instead of MATCH AGAINST( https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.... ) if no matches were found, as a workaround.
Feel free to further test the features for any bugs that may have been introduced. Re Blackburne vs W Potter, 1875 :
I needed to update the eco for the game.
It took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize why the script didn't recognize the opening. Re Gameloader:
I'm going through a bit of a learning curve setting up NodeJS, I'll try to have something for you by Monday.
Sorry for the delay |

| | jessicafischerqueen:
That's pretty slick <Stephen>! It turns out you were the missing link in the puzzle that began the day Wesley So got a player page and has lasted for decades. You should have been hired 17 years ago: <Your search on the name SO returned the following player listings: (3 players)> https://www.chessgames.com/perl/che... |

| | MissScarlett: I thought it the name of a hotel, but <King of Prussia> is actually a place. There are 162 instances at 38th World Open (2010) that need changing from <King of Prussia USA> to <King of Prussia, PA USA>. The tournament description gives <Valley Forge> but they appear to be separate. I trust there's a script for this sort of thing. |
|
Oct-24-21
| | MissScarlett: Steve, can you remove the pun <By hook or by crook> from my list? Best left for a more opportune moment. |
|
| Oct-25-21 | | Z truth 000000001: Oophff... whadda pun.
<Missy> likely got a letter threatening legal action, thus the call for the retraction. Idle speculation, but the possibility is there. |
|

 | | Tabanus: <Miss> I did it last night, by my powers as a tournament editor ;) |
