Do we have to guess at what the URLs are for download?

Do you mean https://www.chess.com/computer-chess-championship

It's in the More menu

It wasn't clear what you were asking about.

I'm not super familiar with that section but will try to find out about downloading the whole group at once.

That's cool, man. I have an archive that I maintain of those tournaments. I could use the Published-Data API to get them, but it would be easier to get them off the page. I guess my real question is, do I need to use the API?

Martin_Stahl

If you click the download icon on a game from the event there will be an event tab there to get all the games.

Oh! I see what you mean. You're referring to how the page used to be. Or is it just broken on my own browser? I don't know why it would be... Oh. Hold on. Let me try via Firefox.

Aha!!! Problem solved. It's broken in Chrome.

I'll test full Chrome later but it works on mobile Chrome. Maybe just a cache issue?

ian-rastall

This is how it looks in Chrome right now. Chances are they updated but missed one character and Firefox didn't notice and Chrome did. It's probably something like that. Just in case, I did try the cache, but it wasn't that. I think this might be a bug.

You know, it could be an extension that I've added, or code that I've run recently that broke that page, but I highly doubt it. I think it's broken because no one is listening, or terribly interested in finding a solution. No one here has thought to double-check on their side. If anyone has read this, they haven't contributed their insight. You seem to have forgotten the whole thing. There seems to have been no one notifying the people who updated it in the first place. If it's not just my browser, then this might be broken for millions of people. It's just the CCC, but then again, it's just the Library. It's just the VIdeos. It's just the Analysis. None of the features for this pay site seem to be that robust or competitive. There's just a lot of different features. Is there really that much apathy over there?

Martin_Stahl

I just tested in a full Chrome browser and it's working without issues.

Maybe it's just an extension. Who knows. I can always go in through Firefox. Thanks for looking into it, though.
