Goodness, that was quick. It only went live about 12:25 and Peter's found it already. I hope you like the new features.

I certainly like the plots and game info.

Even earlier perhaps.
I found it - by chance I was looking up somebody I'd seen referenced on the internet - and posted here by 12:19!

Like the new features. Most games counted. London League not.

I'm amazed. The game information goes back 10 years and even has colour & board number. Congratulations on a job well done!

l like the new features very much. Many thanks to everyone who worked on this.

One quibble (the grade progress plots include some earlier January standardplay datapoints that aren't included in the data shown elsewhere), but that quibble might get lost in the comments being made in several different threads. Would a single thread devoted to feedback help?

Hi Christopher - your SP grade didn't change in those Januarys, so it's not in the Grade History table. However, we had to add the SP entries in for January when plotting the graph points - otherwise it would come out as a series of dots.

The alternative would be to have 2 graphs - one for SP and one for RP - but I think it looks nicer on a single graph.

Super job with the new grading list. The presentation is very clear and the ability to see lots of historic game data is excellent. Well done to everyone involved.

The new features are excellent. There seems to be a rogue grader somewhere though as there is a game included that I haven't played! This happened last July as well so I'll have to track down, with Richard's assistance, who is submitting games with the wrong code. The new features do allow you to easily spot these errors.

Thanks for that. There might be a way round that, but as I said, it's only a quibble.

Christopher: if you know a way round the problem (we're using the Google Visualization API) please do PM me with it and I'll fix it up.

BTW the same comment did come up in testing - spotted by Alex H. - but we didn't think people would mind too much.

I'm glad you kept the old layout because it is so clear and the new information is excellent. I like the colourful graphics and the list of games is so useful. Will games be added as they come in or will 6 months be put on together? With everybody able to check their own results there should be less problems like people having 2 grades as it will soon be spotted.

Well done everybody!

Very very nice features!!

Well done...

Love it with all the new features already mentioned. Really clear and easy to navigate around, even on a smart phone.
Also appreciate that not-yet-graded players such as myself can be found there as well.

I think there needs to be a split between ungraded and inactive, or a way of filtering out players from many years ago. If you look at the club list, you get a long list of players some of whom may have last played perhaps in 1995. This obscures what you might be looking for, which is your list of currently active players, whether graded or not.
