cHEss pIRATE - "Captured" in Chess DB!


The cHEss pIRATE have been "captured" in the ChessDB website/database.


  ( Picture featured in ChessDB websote is from his WYCC 2013 game 
against FM Modi Yashil,who hails from South Africa.)

Apart from his WYCC 2013 games, there's also another game included from his 1st Round encounter during the 5th Penang Heritage City Open 2013 (Challengers Section).
Read ChessDB website/link.

I wonder why do they bother to upload his games and ranked him as well!??
After all his performance at WYCC 2013 is nothing to shout about. Perhaps the person taking the picture and uploading his games is paid according to the number of players "registered"...who knows!?

I find the information published by Chess DB website to be rather interesting especially wrt the types of Openings used. As far as I'm concerned the Openings identified either appear "serious to the uninitiated" or rather "European Centric" and/or "Regally Sounding" or both.
Other interesting info are like Quality of Play ratings. There's even notes on Blunders, Exchange Tendencies etc. which is not activated yet.

However, there are multiple errors identified. Amongst them:-
(1) IMHO, The rankings are NOT accurate.
(2) Some of the moves recorded are NOT correct.
For example in the his final game against T.Sandzhar from Kyrgyzstan, the ChessDB stated 44 moves made whereas in his actual game he had more than 80 moves and had to ask for another Notation Sheet ( Read BlogPOST ).
