 Subject: New Feature: Database
Message:
Hello,
Today I read about the new feature.
Unfortunately, I can't access the gameknot database anymore.
It says only "Loading..."
Does anyone else has these kind of problems?
I am running Opera 9.27 on Win XP. Java is not installed what may have caused the problem.
Is there a possibility to reinstate the old database feature?

[ report abuse ] | missing ECO classification?
Message:
I miss the opening classifications that were part of the old db -
they helped me in looking further for material in books and magazines.
Anyone else miss them??

[ report abuse ] | ECO classification/GameKnot support
Message:
"We will be bringing back most, if not all of the features that
were available with the old Game Database page in the coming
weeks."
I guess the ECO classification is one of the most prominent of those, since most other features have already been implemented. No worries!

Well, it was in response to a message in which I included the ECO too.
The first strange thing with the 'World' DB, after the moves
1. e4 c5
2. Nf3 d6
3. Bb5+
One game is found with continuation 3. ... Qd7!
Qd7 1-0 Fressinet L (2654) vs. Van Wely L (2679)
I wonder what the whereabouts of that game are!?

How is that a good move? It seems to me that it simply drops the Queen. It must be a typo...we are talking about a Grandmaster. What gives?

Maybe it was a moment of absent-mindedness and he intended to use the bishop? I once castled with my Queen because I was away with the fairies. I spent the rest of the day with a paper bag over my head.

[ report abuse ] | Opening Names
Message:
I have just noticed that the name of the opening and it's group no. e.g. A00 played in the database is named. You will have to look underneath the reset/back/back to games options to see it.

New database is very cool. But I have one problem. After moves 1. d4 d5 2. c4 I have 33 games in move gxd but when I click it it shows only 4 games. I looked if this is just one another way to get more paying members but didn't find anything. Do I have to be paying member to get all out of my databases or is this bug?

The personal database of non-paying members is limited to the first five moves, if I remember correctly. This might explain it?! But indeed, the numbers can fluctuate a lot. I think I have also found some sort of bug too...

The personal DB used to be limited to the first 2 moves for non-paying members. Right now though, it isn't (anymore?). Still, not all the games are accessable, I have numbers like four out of thirteen.

Noticed that text today with Firefox. With Opera I didn't see it. Maybe I have to become paying member.

Game DB is now linked to the annotated games via the "chess opening"/ECO link at the bottom of the board... does everybody still get it? :-)
