We may be best off letting it get back in sync as best it can and then let it start a new game. The numerous starts to game 280 seem to have gotten it confused about where in the stream of posts game 280 actually started. I understand the principal of how to get it back in sync, but it is an error prone process.

It seems to still be working on something. I'm not sure if it thinks it is fully caught up yet or not.

The above is a good clue.

Broken glasses.
From right to left, g.r.emlin

looks for username but reads part of some datetime.
looks for rating, reads a puzzle.
looks for datetime, reads some 2-digit integer.

[Pat-Moderator]

have finished removing ALL the extra game-start messages,
so there should be no confusion about where the game starts
now need re-restore the ratings history file

THEN we need the check-point back at 254852

I'm back, but have only puzzles 'stolen' from Mladen.

[dobrichev]

Then play them.

Were the partial puzzles of use or you generate them independently?
I hesitated how much givens to erase leaving the rest still reproducible with some reasonable effort.

Thanks. I was able to make a simple change to my generator, locking the first five rows. I have one left to go (might not bother).
