We have just deployed some small changes that tidy up a few things on the site. This includes:
- TV link on home page will go to the game in question when there are no games in progress
- The list of players online will now be accurately reflected in playstrategy.org/player
- The leaderboards will correctly list the top players in each variant
- The list of games in progress will now be accurately reflected in playstrategy.org/games
- Some broken links to non-essential tools have been removed

Most of these issues are down to the site not having enough activity on it. Lichess (where this project was forked from) has a load of filters applied to their data which we've disabled so we still have data to show.

You can help these pages become more populated by playing some games yourself!

We have uncovered a period of time where the ratings were not working. During 14th Dec 2021 to 27th Jan 2022, 6 game variants (Atomic, Horde, Racing Kings, Crazyhouse, Lines of Action and Frisian) were not recording rating changes when they should have been. This meant that 69 games were not rated, sorry to those that would have gained points. We have found the root cause and everything should now be working as expected.

Finally, we are pleased to say we have surpassed 10,000 games on PlayStrategy. It may be a small milestone, and one we hope to dwarf in the future, but one worth celebrating nevertheless!

In addition to above, we have fixed an issue where 3 check and 5 check ratings were being swapped. This has now been fixed, thanks to those that raised the discrepancy. During the 6th Jan until today (9th Feb) 3 check ratings were being applied to 5 check and vice versa. Given the small number of games (11 (5 check) and 6 (3 check)) we have left the ratings alone.

Enjoy playing more games to up your ratings!
