 | | Honza Cervenka: R.I.P., maestro. This is one of my favourite games of yours: Csom vs Yusupov, 1982 |
|

 | | Dionysius1: <Tabanus> I think it's a mourning symbol, or possibly an intractable problem from the recent renovation cg.uk hasn't fixed yet. |
|
Aug-06-21
 | | Tabanus: <Dionysius1:> I fixed the symbol. But only here. We may need 100 volunteers to work for some weeks to fix all the others. If not CG can do it at one fell swoop. |
|
| Aug-06-21 | | Z legend of CG: <CG> should fix this very soon. Hand fixes, e.g. by <tab> and <jfq>, will just make the global fix harder. (Plus, I have to find yet another unfixed bio to monitor to see if and when <CG> finally does do the global fix) |
|
Aug-06-21
| | Dionysius1: It's good to know cg.com have it in mind to fix. Personally, I'm in no immediate hurry, the extra symbols don't spoil my experience of the text. But then I didn't write the text, and I think <Tabanus> you do that don't you? |
|
| Aug-07-21 | | Z legend of CG: <Dionysius1: It's good to know cg.com have it in mind to fix> Theoretically, they have it in mind, practicality-wise, it's proven elusive (from <Steve's> profile): <
<3) UTF-8 issue> - ...
<Update>
I've been hitting dead ends.
We are looking into getting additional help for this issue.

| | Tabanus: I did not write this text, but I wrote for example Szirak (1985) and I'm definately <not> happy with what happened to it. |
|
Aug-07-21
 | | jessicafischerqueen:
<Z> Here are some other examples of bios that need to be fixed just from the list of players posted by <Tab> in Szirak (1985) Jozsef Pinter Andras Adorjan Gyula Sax Kiril Georgiev |
|

| | jessicafischerqueen:
<Tab>
I believe I will take <Z's> advice to not manually fix any more of these coding errors- just in case the "fixed" bios might make the admins' job of re-coding more difficult. If the admins give up, or simply don't give a @#$% any more, then manual fixing will be necessary |
|
Aug-07-21
| | Tabanus: <jess> Yeah, sounds reasonable. I don't think our fixing matters, but I don't know either. |
|
Aug-08-21
| | jessicafischerqueen:
<Tab> Well yes and there's the added point <Z> brought up that I hadn't thought of- if we continue making ad hoc corrections, then the data set of bios that need correction will be compromised. As <Z> points out, we need to know which corrections were actually made by the admins. Hopefully we will get an update from them soon. |
|
| Aug-08-21 | | Z4all: We all got hit:
Steinitz - Chigorin Telegraph Match (1890) but <tab>, being the most prolific, got hit the hardest. I think this problem should get elevated to a high status asap (stat in med-speak). Seems to me that <CG> has a duty-of-care to inform editors of progress, and hopefully, fixes. This is now a fairly old problem, essentially affecting the entire site. (We still don't even know if the DB got corrupted, or not)

| | jessicafischerqueen:
<I think this problem should get elevated to a high status asap> Agree. |
|
Aug-08-21
| | Dionysius1: Yep, the question mark problem really wrecks the text for Szirak (1985), particularly the cross table. It's not a cosmetic problem then - it overwrites some of the information. I hadn't realised that. |
|
| Aug-08-21 | | Z4all: Loaded chrome extension for altering character encoding, and Szirak ('85) shows up fine with <Western (Windows 1252)>. There, that wasn't so hard, was it?
Importantly, I learned the DB is still whole, at least, at the moment. (Of course great care has to be taken when altering any encoding in the main <CG> db. Guess <Daniel> had a perl script converter for taking utf-8 comments and converting them into the older encoding... maybe??) |
|
| Aug-08-21 | | Retireborn: Another example is the crosstable on this page:- Bad Lauterberg (1977) |
|
| Aug-08-21 | | Z4all: There's a million of 'em! |
|
| Aug-09-21 | | chesshistoryinterest: You sometimes get this on Rusbase, too, eg, Lithuanian Championship 1950. |
|

| | jessicafischerqueen:
<chesshistoryinterest> Yes I have also noticed the "question mark inside of a black diamond" substitutions for the "1/2" notation for draws in the crosstables. This glitch is certainly a similar coding error, and in the case of Rusbase it only occurs when the crosstable has obviously been imported from another website, as in the case you mention: http://al20102007.narod.ru/ch_repub... |
|

| | Tabanus: FIDE have them too, see https://ratings.fide.com/tournament.... |
|
| Aug-09-21 | | nok: <Yes I have also noticed the "question mark inside of a black diamond" substitutions for the "1/2" notation for draws in the crosstables.> My old friend the equal sign never let me down. Just sayin. |

|
| Aug-09-21 | | chesshistoryinterest: <jessicafischerqueen> Thanks, I didn't actually know that. I'm not quite sure what website they imported it from, but all the likely possibilities that I checked had crosstables that seemed fine. So maybe Rusbase has different software/programming and it occurs on transfer. Or something. At any rate, with the FIDE website also having it, it seems a fairly common problem. |
