Title: Corrupted game file?
Post by Hippo on Jun 6^th, 2019, 8:54am

I have seen open postal game of ChrisB in the gameroom so I have decided to enter.

sid=9235015614

Surprisingy there was already 27 moves played in the game and there is talk between chrisB and risteal in the game. Silver has to move, but clock runs on gold side.
(I will run out of the time in 18053 days and few hours) fortunately I will be probably dead till I will timeout in this game, but it is at least strange.

Could someone fix it? Or at least finish it and make unrated?

This is funny. How could that even happen?!

18053 days is about 49.5 years, so I'd expect that clock is actually counting up rather than down. I suspect this and the transfer of the game from risteall to 'open' are both the results of some corrupt database fields taking default values.

I have decided to resign ... losing some GMR, and unfortunatey WHR as well.

The reson for resigning was to get rid of the open game ... and what a surprise, I have lost and the game stayed open :(.
