In this page I will keep fellow Deshi's posted on the developments, upgrades and updates of the European Go Database.
For a short explanation, see the European Go Database page.

Database updated to April 5th.
A new feature (still in beta) has been added: if you go to the main menu you will se on the top of the page a new link to the "Player's gallery": a new page that shows all players that have submitted a picture, with their basic information. At the moment, the page shows the latest 20 players, but you can modify the url where it says "max=20" to make it show more, just by typing there a large number, say, 50 or 60.

Thanks to a new format of some files that feed the EGD, we have tackled the problem of players changing name during their playing career (most notably ladies taking the name of their husbands and persons changing sex).
Now the player's pin is univocal and their data are to be found under the latest name.
More and more players are sending their pictures, why don't you send yours?
It's easy, instructions are on your page...

EGD is out of the beta stage to enter adulthood as version 1.0.
Data have been updated to Spetember 1st, including of course the results of the European Go Congress.
Lot of small but nice features have been implemented: go and discover by yourself!
We do hope the project, especially the statistics features, will be of help in the on-going discussion about European ranks and ratings. Aldo Podavini, one of the project leaders, has volunteered to be in the study group on such matter.

For you statistics freaks!
A new graph has been added in the Statistics pages that plots the spread of the GoR vs. the rank declared by people entering the tournaments, comprehensive of linear regression.
Just to spot the cheaters... ;-)

Data and results of May 2005 tournaments have been uploaded.
Now you can help us to improve the database: send us portraits of players and sgf files of played games.
Portraits' file format:
PNG files, 80 x 115 pixels
This is the format we need; of course we can re-arrange every format you will send, but we greatly appreciate if you could do this for us :-)
SGF's:
The name is composed by the PIN's of the two players, the tournament code and the round.
Ok, it looks like an hard job, but it isn't ! :-)
Indeed, you can go to the games list (by player or by tournament), double-click on the small blurred icon in the column "Sgf" for the given game, and you'll see a small window reporting the name of the file; copy & paste it, et voilą !
As you can easily understand, we must be a little careful about WHO sends us data, in order to prevent bizarre pictures or so to be published. So please, send us data directly from your addresses, or send us the names of people we can trust. Anyway we'll send a reply to the sender of every posting.

Some sgf have been uploaded (and some pictures too... try to guess where...). You can replay them in a window similar to the replaying window of Go Base. Pretty soon you'll also be able to download them!
To see how it works, look for the player with pin code 12437128, (Mr. Peter Korossy-Khayll), switch to the Games List and click on the sgf icon.
See also Mr. Federico Odorizzi (pin 13662385) games.
Enjoy!
