Never mind. The problem I thought existed seems to have gone away.

The game history is messed up. Before the board was messed up. For instance, a black bishop is appearing where a white pawn belongs in the last move in a game of mine. This mess-up is occuring in the "analyze" mode and regular game history mode. I think there should be something.... some new rule... that gives everyone a temporary break on moving. In other words, until things are put back.... until things start working properly again, no one's time should be depleted. No one should be forced to move to avoid using up their time. I can't properly function without a game history or a game history that's all messed up or an "analyze" that's messed up.

I don't mind an outage. Two days without RHP and I'll survive.

But I do mind that the history of my games are gone. Every game I pout hours an hours to think up the most genious plan is gone. I cannot reconstruct them, so what happened before the intrinisic combo, the reason behind a sac, or even why I'm behand a night and two pawns, I have no idea. That bothers me.

I would never have to see this again! Never! And Russ is quiet, as he doesn't care.
I'm afraid this will happen again. If it happens again, I'd like a full refund, from the beginning of my career until the last time it happens. Because then I'm out. That's how I feel!

Game histories are being extracted from backups and re-inserted. Unfortunately, this is taking longer than expected.

Waiting eagerly.

If you can manage this, I humbly give you my apologies of all I've said about... well you know.

Now I have very nearly come to the end of this restore process, I just did a small random sample of your games, and I didn't find a broken game. If your games were relatively inactive over the 24 hour period when data was lost, then nearly all will have been repaired.

I have still three games with corrupt histories: 6939850, 6939851, 6945980.
If you could repair them too, I would be very happy.
If you cannot, I can live with it. You've done a great job! 🙂

No chance for 6945980 as far too many moves have been lost, but the other two should have been repaired. I will investigate, because what fixes your games will fix other players games too.

Why not hire SwissGambit, he will happily retract 15 halfmoves to get to the position that is still known in the PGN 🙂

The game 6945980 might have the moves
1. c4 e5 2. g3 Nf6 3. Nc3 d5 4. cxd5 Nxd5 5. Bg2
giving the same position, even if I'm not certain that the moves are in the correct order.
Is it possible to put in these moves manually in the games history?

Or perhaps turn the games into set piece games? Still no history but at least a working pgn (or not?)

Game 6939850
Game 6939851

were both easily repaired using the same brute force approach which will now be applied to any other games that were missed using my previous approach.

Game 6913674 seems to have an unidentified corrupt history. I'd also sent this to you by feedback, not having seen this thread. You can just reply here.
