Go up one level in this thread


I'll be able, to cat all the parts together. But I remember, it was tricky. At
the moment, I don't have Scid installed. I probably should have.

I am aware, the the following is a suggestion, that really will involve work.
Sure, I am not demanding anything. That games were cutted is unfortunate. The
cause is probably some imperfect tools. Somehow, you must have collected all
those games. If you received them ok (and still have the original sources), it
should be a matter of patience and dedication, to find out, at which phase, the
games got cutted. You have games longer than 300 moves (I did not read over all
of them, you have posted in another message, the first ones I saw were of rather
recent date). So, in general your tools a capable to digest such long games. But
for some reasons, some games are too short. Perhaps, at a rainy weekend, you
might want to find out the culprit, and might be able to fix this. When original
sources are lost, of course there is no practical way to do it. Even when
original sources are not lost, it just might be not worth the effort. OTOH, you
might have the pleasure to find a more appropriate name than "junkbase" soon :-)

One other wish - that might very well not be doable with reasonable time. Try to
tag all computer games. So one would have some means to filter against "only
human vs. human", only "human vs. comp" only "comp vs. comp". Could be done by
adding a tag line to the PGN. Well, I fear, all of this will be too much work.

Regards,
Dieter
