Watchbot interesting games feed - revisited

Posted by

in WatchBot

The Watchbot games feed changed it's address and is currently available as http://feeds.mekk.waw.pl/WatchbotInterestingGames. Old address should be properly redirected, but I recommend updating it. New feed should handle less popular or older readers better and be faster (technically: it is filtered through feedburner).

Per-player feeds remain unchanged and work as described previously.

The feed notifies about games which:

are slow-time (>= 45 minutes for player for 40 moves), and
either are high-rated (both players rated above 2000), or contain at least a few comments.

I am open to suggestions of how this feature could be improved. Change the criteria somehow? Create separate, low-volume feed containing only the highly-discussed games? Put more information into the feed? Feel free to share your ideas.

A few WatchBot website improvements
I updated WatchBot website a little bit, adding some new filtering/navigation options which make it possible to reach older games. Also, it is now possible to follow WatchBot on Twitter.

Can Watchbot games have the ECO opening information added? (I mean to the links to the games so you know what type of opening game each one features). This would be most helpful. Thanks & best wishes

I have been asked about it a few times, unfortunately it is rather difficult - eco classification is rather expensive. Will think about it but don't hold your breath...
