Hi guys,
Some things I would like to consider.
I am becoming keen of the IMPORT PGN feature, to use lichess to study important games.
Today I imported a game from the famous brazilian player H. Mecking, who lost just now in the quarter-final of the brazilian championship.
No sites had it to download, I did the PGN myself using an editor and all tags.
One tag I used was [Annotator "drbeco"], as specified in the PGN format (here: http://www.saremba.de/chessgml/standards/pgn/pgn-complete.htm )
But as soon as I upload, LICHESS changed the CREDIT of my work to [Annotator "lichess.org"]
Game here:
lichess.org/XvfPrv6w
That is not acceptable, and I can't find a way to edit the game.
-------
On other matters, now that bellow is not so important, just some suggestions to help the site become a better database for the main midia to use:
* When sharing the link, it always appears as "correspondence chess", and that is not the case of many games. Is there something to do about it? Maybe it is the tag [TimeControl "-"] to be used somehow here?
* Tags that were also changed without my will was: WhiteELO and BlackELO. I used the current official ELO that I researched for both players when uploading. Now they show only a "?".
- The ELO numbers were moved to the White/Black name tag, which is wrong.
* The opening tag ECO was supposed to be A30, but it changed itself to A05.
* The tag EventDate was deleted. It is 2018.02.06
* The tag SITE supposedly marks the city, according to the standard. It is not just because I uploaded to lichess that "site" means "lichess.org", right? See section 8.1.1.2 of the above mentioned PGN format
* PGN tags have a preferable order, although no site or database seems to care much about this, so ok. Just for the record.
* It is not on the standards, but I've seen the tag
[URL "lichess.org/blablabla"]
to mark a website without losing the city-site information. You may want to brainstorm about it if you think it is cool.
Thanks a lot for looking into it.
My best!
