Missing Moves - Looks like a bug, is it?

Sort:
yogabija

Hi,

The following api call results in some moves being missed in at least one of the games returned. At least I have had a good look and can't see why this would be the case.

https://api.chess.com/pub/player/yogabija/games/2019/02

The first result I see is;

"https://www.chess.com/daily/game/199908340"
pgn "[Event \"AIP Open Theme Match #1 Philidor Defense For Clubs < 1000 members please - Board 29\"]

 

When I look at the list of moves they start at move 3

The PGN for this with some pre-text for context shows

Link \"https://www.chess.com/daily/game/199908340\"]\n\n3. d4 Bg4 4. dxe5 Bxf3 5. Qxf3 dxe5 6. Bc4 Qe7 7. O-O Nc6 8. Qb3 O-O-O 9. Qh3+ Kb8 10. c3 g6 11. b4 Qd7 12. Qxd7 Rxd7 13. Bd5 Nge7 14. Bb3 Nc8 15. a3 h5 16. a4 Nd6 17. Nd2 Bh6 18. Ra2 f5 19. b5 Ne7 20. c4 f4 21. c5 Ndc8 22. c6 Rd4 23. cxb7 Nd6 24. f3 g5 25. Ba3 g4 26. Rc2 Rh7 27. Rfc1 Ng6 28. Bd5 Rxa4 29. Bxd6 1-0"

 

Very odd, could some one shed some light on this?

 

I had a brief look through the recent forum posts and couldn't see anything similer.

 

Cheers

Thats because the first game contains a Setup, with a starting position FEN
