Positions that have been in the cloud analysis (atomic,) sometimes disappear. Does anyone know why this happens. The only possibility I can think of, is that positions gets deleted if its not visited or played in a long time, in order to use the server to remember more relevant positions. Or it can be a bug. Any answers are appreciated
No idea :p
Yes, I'm pretty sure positions will get deleted if nobody ever looks at them, which of course only makes sense. Given the unimaginably huge number of possible chess positions, many games will have at least a dozen positions that nobody has ever seen and nobody will ever see again. It makes no sense to store evaluations for them.
Given that atomic has much fewer players and games, atomic evals are probably also much more likely to get deleted.
Nice to know. I have probably spent a coupple hundred hours analyzing interesting positions and lines that have never been played before, in hopes that someone (myself included bc I got goldfish memory) might find a neat line in the future.
