Bug: some downloaded archives contain games without any moves

 

This probably isn't an api.chess.com bug, as I see the same problem on the website.

A game (https://www.chess.com/daily/game/179336564 is an example) is not 100% usual:

1. Unrated

2. Tournament game starting in a custom position.

 

In the second round of the tournament I would like to review my play in the first round, especially as i was the only player to win twice as black!

Not having access to the old games means repeating analysis. Maybe I'll analyse better this time. (But not really; I don't have time. I'll withdraw from the tournament instead if this breakage isn't fixed before I need to move.)

Yes, I did report this via the general report-a-bug mechanism in V3, but the problem is likely to be reported here too, so let's have it known and documented as promptly as possible.

I might be wrong here, now that I've investigated further. It is possible that there were no moves; one of that set of tournaments was set up with the wrong side to move, which made it pretty pointless.

*Tired and confused.*

This was just a BAD starting position from a silly TD

And my bad for not remembering it. I've reminded everyone else in the tournament and posted in the relevant group's notes, so I hope no more bug reports come through.

Sorry for the inconvenience everyone. sad.png

I edited the title, lest anyone be concerned about highlighting my errors.
