GK and World Database selection
Why can I find only 1 or few of dozens of games I've played (with over 1600 rating) in the database? Is there any kind of selection working, that's criteria I might don't meet? And, what kind of games can enter World database?

Your opponents must have had a rating over 1600 too. That's the main reason why most of them drop out of the selection. Plus, you've only joined in August 2008 and the database isn't updated on a monthly basis (more like twice a year).

The "World" database consists of over-the-board games with each player rated in excess of 2000 (FIDE ratings). I would not know how these games are collected.

Thanks for quick reply! So I am lucky to find at least one game until now, at all. Good to make the experience that most problems really get solved just by waiting...
