The error in the two Minev game files (Minev Best Games and Minev All Games) that were reported in the last blog entry have been corrected, and new files have been posted to the website. All games included in those files should now load correctly for viewing in the My Chess Viewer software (the software that is used to display the games on the website as an interactive chess board).

I have some additional games that need to be added to those files, so they do not currently represent all that I have obtained for Minev’s career, but at least all of the games included should load without errors. For the Minev All Games file, I have about 50 more that need to be added; for the Minev Best Games, I think only 1 or 2 more. I hope to get to those in the next few weeks.
