Games missing from archive

I played 3 games on my cell phone yesterday and they aren't the archive on my cell phone or my desktop. In the past I say an option to add games to the archive, whereas others seem to get auto added. I would like to better understand how that is determined. Is it too late to retrieve those games?

Any games against computers have to be manually saved.

Games against humans are automatically saved.

and Games against humans using Computer engines are saved too...

What does that have to do with the original question and explaining why this member can't find some of his games?

Nothing.

  It has allot to do with it. Both Mr Parsons and I are  Federal Chess Agents. Your the one that brought up the Computer Games, and I am the one that brought of the Computer Assisted Games. i was just being relevant to the difference. If Mr Parsons plays against chess.coms computer, the game may not be archived, but if he plays against someone using a computer for chess moves then it will be archived...

I was talking about the games against computer bots which for years were not saved here in the archive.   Last year, they started letting people manually save their bot games.

Computer engine assistance doesn't enter into it.

I've never heard of a "Federal Chess Agent."  I think you made that up.

The FCA is bigger than the FFA, CIA, and DEA, Combined...I realy cant Divulge too much information on the matter due too pending litigation..

It seems to only pertain to cell phones I am finding. All of the games I play on a desktop are getting saved. 

How did you Fair against Chess.coms computer ?

80 % of my archive is gone !

Please help.

I can beat the 1600 and 1800s, but I don't think I ever beat any of the 2000 bots. I would have to double check. I may have won once. I have won one and lost 3 against the 1800 Hikaru zombie bot. It is a Halloween thing, I think. I still lose to the 1600's sometimes. They can play quite well. I am playing them more or less like a rapid or fast blitz game. 

I think I beat one of the Christmas one's at 2000, but unfortunately, they are gone, showing the 3 stars with them, where you beat them with no take backs, etc. I can check my archive to see. I think I played them on my desktop., 

Do you mean your archive or Library? Your other topic says Library.

Live games aren't saving? Or just not showing in the app archives? 

If so, which app and version?

They are computer bots and so unrated, which I don't think count as a live game, when I use my cell phone. When I play on a desktop, they autosave to my archive, though they are still unrated bot games. 

If you run a Game Review on the website, that's why they save as it's not automatic. I don't believe that process works on the app and you have to use the Options menu to save them.

Ok, thanks Martin. I appreciate the info. 

Parsons's Particularly Partial Performance Permeates professionalism

I am very sad to find out now, that this is happening - I played Nemo (2300) on my cell phone and menaged to defeat her in, what I think was the great game, and analyzed the game but I couldn't find any option in mobile app to save it (I want it to save it extra as analysis) so I thought so I am gonna do that on pc later, but the game is gone... it's not in the archive. On PC all games, even bots, are saved
