 Table structure for Games and Movessite? Is there a moves table? Is each move stored as a separate record in a table or are they just appended to a PGN/text/blob field in a games table? The simple fact that statistics like "average time per move" exist makes me think there might actually be a table for the moves themselves. Also, the fact that during analysis or simply clicking through past moves in a game and clicking several moves down the line, all the pieces go straight for their final destination square. (Instead of the applet playing through all the moves one by one.) (I know simulating the moves one by one, getting a resulting FEN and then transforming the board from its current position to the new one would be entirely possible and if done client-side, not represent any real strain.) But this feature also makes me wonder if in this 'moves' table there might be an associated FEN for each record. I don't know why I'm curious about such a minor detail, but these things pique my curiosity. |
