Now that my rating is 1520 will all my games show up in the database?
Or will it only have any games that I have done while my rating was over 1400?

I really have enjoyed and started using the games explorer recently...thanks again!

One request is simply to have a link directly from the RHP/TFC/TIG main page.

Thanks again!

My games never show up and I have never been below 1400...but I really just use it to which lines have been played, not to look at my games.

Not only do both players have to be over, but the database hasn't been updated in a loooong time. Newer games are not found there.

Yeah, why isn't the database up-to-date?
It should be possible for the DB to be updated every 24 hours like the player table.

I'd settle for 4 updates a year!
I P.M'd Russ about it & he said he'd ask Chris how the updates were coming along.

Does the admin have to pull a bunch of levers and push a bunch of buttons to update the DB?
I mean the admin doesn't add the games by typing in the moves by hand.
Surely the procedure can be automated with a script.

Of course it is!
The point being, the procedure must be time-intensive because I know Chris was doing some work on the update but got involved in other things.
I don't think it's as straightforward as you suggest. Maybe large chunks of the script need re-writing or something?

You could always PM Chris & ask him. I'm not - already PM'd him about it a few months ago!

I think the DB is good but could use more 1800 + games. Also, on the rare occasions I look openings up under Master Games, a random game of RHP comes up 😕

It looks like something might have happened to the gamesexplorer db recently? I can't find any games for players who have hundreds of games since they've been members of RHP for 1.5 years. My own games are greatly reduced too - and only the oldest ones are available to search.

Can anyone confirm this problem?

I think this issue has been covered err... maybe 50 times in this thread.

Chessgames.com has a larger group of master games in it's database. Their "Openings Explorer" makes a nice supplement to RHP's Games Explorer.
