Databases
When do my games start showing up in the Gameknot database?

What are the personal databases?

What is the difference between the Gameknot database and the World database?

database differences
starting at the top and working down
world database is literally that. Games from all over the world played at different times in history.
GK DB only includes games played onsite so is much more restricted.
Your personal DBs (one black one white) are for your personal game tracking. You have to request that they be updated which can be done once per week.
I would have thought however that your games would already be in the GK DB.

hope this helps

GK & Personal Databases
My personal databases do not appear in the GK database. Also, it looks like my database only drills down 5 moves. Why the limit?

GK Database
By the way, kudos to GameKnot for naming the openings and variations. This feature is just one more thing that makes GK such an awesome chess site.
