I just added a bot game from my archive to a library collection and it shows correctly.

How are you adding games?

Hello Martin_Stahl...
From the menu; PLAY --> ARCHIVE --> LIBRARY --> YOUR COLLECTIONS --> 'Wendy-BOT (1500)' (name of my created collection) --> ADD GAMES --> IMPORT FROM ARCHIVE --> Then i tick the games I want to import --> ADD '??' GAMES --> Done.
I actually just found the problem; If I add 1 or 3 games together the date is RIGHT BUT if I add a much higher number of - lets say - 35 games together the dates are WRONG !!!
I do not know HOW many games I can import at the same time before things go wrong with the date...but the problems seems to be that if TOO MANY games are imported from the ARCHIVE at the same time something goes wrong with the dates.....
I hope it makes sense :-)
Now I will try to start ALL over and import fewer games together at once....

UPDATE !!!
I just deleted my collection in my library. Started all over and created a new one. The I tried to only import one game and the date is WRONG !
So it has NOTHING to do with how many games you import at the same time after all !
Now I'm even more confused....
Is there ANOTHER way to send games to library-collections ?

MetalPede

UPDATE 2 !!!
Forgot to tell you that ALL dates are CORRECT in the ARCHIVE and ONLY wrong in my LIBRARY-COLLECTION.

MetalPede

ANOTHER TEST !!!
Here is a look at my ARCHIVE:
Note the date on the game - it is CORRECT:

Then I tick the litlle box and click and DOWNLOAD FILE !
Note the date on the downloaded file is now INCORRECT:

I don't know man...this is really weird..........

If you open a game from your Archive in Analysis, you can select the ADD Library Button (lower left corner of the Analysis window).

I just made a fast - and very sloppy - game against Martin-BOT (250) and saved it in my library the way you told me. The same I did with another game I played earlier today against Wendy-BOT (1500).

Take a look af the below picture: Note that the MARTIN-game shows the correct date in BOTH library AND archive, where the WENDY game shows the correct date ONLY in the archive !!!


Something wrong with the Wendy-BOT data perhaps ????????

KingMoored

Did you play the Wendy-BOT on the Web or did you use one of the Chesscom mobile apps?

KingMoored

When I download your Wendy-BOT game, here is the Title of the file I get???

191111805-MetalPede_vs_Wendy-BOT-1969-12-31

It does have the date in the file right:

[Event "Play vs Bot"]
[Site "Chess.com"]
[Date ""]
[Round "-"]
[White "MetalPede"]
[Black "Wendy-BOT"]
[Result "1-0"]
[WhiteElo "800"]
[BlackElo "1500"]
[TimeControl "1/0"]
[EndDate "2024.12.11"][Termination "MetalPede won by checkmate"]

1969-12-31 !!!!!!!!! That's funny as hell...ha..ha..haaaa... I was born in January 1970 !
Where does that date come from ?
The Wendy-game was played on the 'Chess.com-app' on my ipad. BUT why is the date wrong in the .pgn-file title but not in the file itself ???

I mean ; it should be like this: '191111805-MetalPede_vs_Wendy-BOT-2024-12-11'.

KingMoored

I think the wrong date on the downloaded pgn is coming from the Chesscom server. Also it might also explain the wrong date when adding the game to your library.

Maybe Chesscom just needs to reconfigure the date timestamps on the server where your games are stored.

MetalPede

Just one more thing I don't get.

You say that when you download the Wendy-file it's named:
191111805-MetalPede_vs_Wendy-BOT-1969-12-31.pgnWhen I download the same file it's named:
191111805-MetalPede_vs_Wendy-BOT-1970-01-01.pgn

Sorry; but that dosen't make ANY sense to me at all ?????????

I usually play all my games on the Android mobile app, but just now I duplicated exactly what you are seeing by playing a bot game on my iOS phone, saved it, and added it to my Library.

I got the same date you are seeing when I used the iOS Mobile app, so the problem must be related to the Chesscom iOS app.

KingMoored

Also, when I download the pgn from my archive I get this title:

191306407-Martin-BOT_vs_KingMoored-1969-12-31

The date is the Unix epoch. Basically most operating systems use a similar date as their "start of time" and use that for all date/time calculations.

@MetalPede are you playing the bot games on the iOS app or the website?

I play my bot-games on the chesscom-app on my ipad.

But as KingMoored pointed out the problem must be on the app and NOT the website...

Well, unless this gets fixed I don't wanna use the library any more.

BTW...why is not possible to DELETE games in my archive ? If that was possible I didn't even need the library...the ARCHIVE would be the library !

Martin_Stahl

You can still delete the games but I think it's not possible in the apps. You can do it by going into the game on the website and the delete icon is on the bottom toolbar

Man...that takes forever when you can only delete ONE game at a time.
What about this idea when you have the time ? Then you will be able to tick all the games you want to delete and just delete them in ONE click. Just like when you can 'download' several games at the same time. That would be cool AND EASY ! :-)
