Fixing your game history.

Most of the games, which histories I restored, could be corrected automatically.
Only one game had more than one halfmove to be added.
I don't understand, why the games, where only one halfmove was missing,
where corrected automatically.
A simple change in the chess engine I wrote could do that correction.
( My chess engine is very bad, but I would like to create an own account
only for this engine. Accourding to the TOS it is not allowed to USE an engine,
but nobody said anything about BEEING an engine - we all have our little
faults )

Am I just not getting this or what? How are we suppose to know what the moves were? What does this mean?

a) The missing moves must be restored from memory.

When I try to put the 'correct' move in I get an invalid move message. This is all very frustrating, because I've got a couple of interesting games that I don't want to lose their history.

Are you sure you are using the correct format for putting in the moves? You have to put in the square the piece came from and the one it went to, and nothing else (no letters for the pieces or "x" if you captured a piece), e.g. c3e5. I did that wrong the first time I tried and got that "invalid move" message. When I put in a wrong move in the correct format ...[text shortened]... t went through, but messed up the game (so I had to use the undo tool and correct the move).

So is this problem still going on?
I started a game yesterday and everything has been fine up until just now.
I went to analyze the board and it says:

"Sorry, this game has no move history".

But it had a game history on my last move.

I tried to put the game i.d on the end of the url provided at the start of this thread and I get this message:

"Game 4631410 cannot be fixed
This game has a complete history, but it is corrupt and now cannot be fixed."

Can anything be done?

Thanks.

I just saw this thread today. I have a few games I want to reconstruct, but there is no history at all. Are they gone forever?

OK. When I tried that before, it only game me a partial history. I was worried that the rest was gone, but it just didn't show it. I restored one game. I'll do the rest later.

I'm having the same problem. I know I had fixed all my corrupted games, but now I have another game giving me the "no move history" message. This game was working fine just yesterday, so apparently move history is still being corrupted somehow. Only one half move has been made since the problem began so I hope I get a chance to fix it.

Also, when I e-mail my games to myself, I can see a full, accurate, valid PGN of its history. What gives? (Game 4567235)

Golly, I wish this had not affected set piece games.

Same for me. I had a few corrupted games over a week ago. I successfully fixed them using the new tool. Now, a relatively new game, which was fine just yesterday, is now corrupt and cannot be fixed. Does anyone have any insight into this? Thanks.

This hasn't been forgotten and will be addressed.

If you are having problems with corrected game histories, please take another look now.

Thanks,
