We're still working on adding games guys. I know it's taking a really long time and that it's annoying :(
Just to put things into perspective. We have 8 million or so members now. A lot of those accounts have played 10s of thousands if not 100s of thousands of games. So the amount of games that have been played is huge. Because of that it is taking longer than expected for the games to be added.
But rest assured that we are still working on it.
Game Exploer still not showing my live games.
As a premium diamond member, I should get this service.
What is the problem ?
lavonjohn, please read the previous comments from staff for an answer.
I have been waiting for this feature for a long time. The argument from the staff is that we have soooo many games that they can not catch up or get it done. This argument falls short in my opinion. Our game records are already here. All we need is a page built that can take my name and read my games on the spot. There is no need to load all the games into some database, there already is one. We need a program that can look at our games for the past 30 days, past 7 days, past year, etc. It should be able to work for me independent of all the other players and work for them independently too. There excuse is a bad one. It makes no sense. Any one with a programming mind knows that there needs to be a special set of functions built to read my games independent of all the other games in the system and it can sort it on the fly.
How much one game can take space? a few hunder bytes? max 1kb? my own hard drive could store 500 000 000 games. So it can't even be so hard to transfer them...
This leaves a shitty taste at my mouth...Pretty words is all i need. Just tell me how much are the programmers smoking weed on this...?
Now I have 36 games instead of 6, and it only took 10 months! =D
I'm still seeing only a very small percentage of my games... what's the scoop? It seems like this has been an issue since 3 years ago.

What if you didn't worry about 'adding games' and just introduced the My Games as a new feature next month? (Honestly it hasn't been working properly for over 5 years so you might as well. I'm sure some people would be sad to have years of their games be unavailable in My Games, but it would be better that the thing worked. If it updated correctly and weekly after that I'm sure we could all be happy.)
Any update from the staff? It's been about 2 years and none of my live games are in yet. Anybody else experiencing the same thing?
same here, i'm a paid member for 3 years, and still cannot see my games!! i'm not going to renew my membership in june if it stays like that
It's been an issue for ages...they still advertise it as a benefit of Premium Membership, but don't deliver.
They're not going to fix anything until V3 has been shoved out the door and down our throats. And V3 still looks months away from completion based on my limited interaction with it. Meanwhile there are cheap or free solutions if you really want to be able to search your games. For $10 a year you could go premium and stash your games over at 365 which would let you compare your games with both their amateur and master databases. Pain that you can only get the PGNs a page at a time, but it still shouldn't take that long. That's what I used to do before I realized how foolish it is for someone my age to take chess seriously.
FYI - daily chess explorer imports actually restarted on Friday. live chess imports should begin this week!

So what is the time scale for online games being available (as advertised) in Game Explorer?
lol, dude, read all the comments and take your best guess. Never? Somebody said Version 3 coming out soon, whatever that means.
That's great news erik! Thanks for the update.
