Hive game history data

Post by ringersoll »

My name is Randy Ingersoll and I have written a book about hive (Play Hive Like a Champion). I am working on one about Hive openings. It would be great if I could use data from the games played here at Board Game Arena.

Is it possible to gain access to the hive game database and raw move data in order to download it, parse it and use it?

Thanks in advance for your response.

You can easily gather up data through the game replays, as their logs contain all the information you need.
If you can't do that, admins may feel like you don't have the necessary skills to exploit this data anyway ^^

A couple more raw arguments :
- right now and for the past 5 years is the time admins have been the busiest so I'm almost certain they won't be able to help
- server resources << admin time
