A singular game pops up with a completely different position.
Same has happened with me a few times.

Alright, I'm still insanely confused - why are only about half of my games in the GE? What happened to the other ones - including those where both of us are 1400+?

Yeah but it was supposed to have been updated on 1st March & I don't think it has.

Perhaps I missed it, but what rating do they use to determine if a game should be in or not? i.e. Say I start winning all of my games and acheive a 1920 rating. Now some of my games should be in the 1900+ category, what happens if my rating then falls back to it's more natural 1650?

Maybe they are linked to whatever your rating is at the time.
ie. if your rating drops, maybe your games drop into the lower group too.

Nah, too many good players leave and let all their games time out; I bet the games someone played when rated over 1900 will be counted.

Yes, sorting out (by some option) of time-outs would be great!

I'm still trying to figure out how to annotate games; as soon as there's only 1 game left in a line, when you click the next move it opens a new window, so you can't annotate the rest, can you?

Are they going to update it anytime soon?

I sent a feedback PM & got the reply that it should be updated in a couple of weeks.

Hey Chris! :-)

I've found it, I've been using it, and I *love* it.

One suggestion:

When you finally come to the end of the exploration and there is only one game left in a particular line, if you click on that one move, the explorer pops you into an analysis board of that game. Given the current (relatively crude) state of the analysis board, this is not especially useful to me. True, the game history is on the anaylsis board. However, I don't have any easy way to download the PGN into a truly useful analysis tool like DBSchess.

Would it be too much trouble to put a "download pgn" button on the analysis board for us?

Alternatively, if you would pop us straight to the public game, rather than to your analysis board, we'd have everything we need. Those who then want to use your analysis board could get there with only one more click. Those of us who want to download the PGN have the button at the public game board.

Right now, I'm having to write down the name of the players, search through all of their games to find the particular game I'm looking for, and then download the PGN. Gee, if you just put the game ID on the analysis board or on the line where the game is listed in the Explorer, that would be a huge help.

I *love* the Explorer. I can't tell you how much I love it, just like it is. But, an improved link to the PGN would sure be nice.

Thx! :-)

PS. And, if there's an easier way to get to the PGN that I've overlooked, my apologies and advanced thanks to whoever points it out to me.
