What Happened to Chess.com Player Games in the Game Explorer?

Sort:

We had to take most Chess.com player games down while we work on a sustainable and fast way to import all new Chess.com games into the database including Turn-based and Live games. This is not easy as there are thousands of games played per hour - no simple task! We got a lot of games into the database initially, but then realized that our current process of importing games could not keep pace with the games being played :( We hope to be done in early-mid July.  Thank you for being patient while we make this transition.

Question : are the live games and turnbased going to be in one section?  The standard of chess in the live games is going to be significantly poorer for most people and I for one would prefer my blitz games (and indeed all live games) to be kept separate!  Rules and playing standard are different after all.

 Love the games explorer though, can't wait till you get it fully operational again :-)

we will allow for players to choose to view them together OR separated.

Are we going to get features like all of our favourite GM's games in the database, and be able to search according to a particular GM, e.g. Tal etc?
erik

Yes!  Good idea having separate databases for live and turn based games.  It will allow us to study common mistakes made under time pressure.
