This guy: " I bet you know me." "Sub to my channel" "Be my friend" "I'll advertise my videos in the forum even though it has nothing to do with the topic." Also this guy : "He WaS HaRasSiNg Me AbOuT WhO I aM!!!"

I also have this problem.  For instance, a friend of mine has several thousand blitz games (standard rules), but the explorer only shows around 150 games.  I see this for many opponents that I prep for.  I'm a diamond member.

 

Is this the expected behavior?  Shouldn't I be able to explore all the standard games with sufficient ply count for an opponent?

This feature bogged down when the volume of games exploded 10 years ago.  It didn't work for several years and they fell further and further behind. Finally, they made a fix avsilable only for premium members. There is a / was a script that ran the first time a premium member accessed the own games part of Game Explorer. The script was supposed to make the connection to the games database.

It wouldn't normally operate for non-premium members. Their games wouldn't be available.

If I understand you correctly, does this mean that a premium member can access other premium members' games, but only if the other members have triggered this script, and otherwise a premium member cannot access all of (or even much of, it seems) other users' games?

That was always my understanding.

I'm prenium and I dont really know, cuz 

When I look at my stats it says I have 3,773 blitz games total, with 1,873 of them as white and 1,900 of them as black. I also have 947 bullet games, 65 Daily games, and 31 Rapid Games. This means I played about 4816 games total, so how come when I try to use opening explorer with the "my games" feature it says I have less then 800 games as white, whereas in reality I have about triple that amount. I almost always play rated, so failing to include unrated games probably isn't the issue. I also very rarely play against the computers, so it's impossible that that's the reason there are so many games omitted. I also noticed that whenever it points out a move that only happened once it refers to a game from at least two years ago, is it possible it doesn't record the games played more recently? The settings are set to show "all games", so that's also not the problem. Is the database glitching, or is this a "basic member" problem?

I'm a premium member and it seems like it doesn't work for me either, so not a basic member problem.
