Personal database

I usually use look at the gameknot database during my games.
But recently i try to use my personal database first.
But there's the problem:
I don't see a position in my database, then i switch to gameknot. And it found two games on the position I'm looking at. But one is one of my own games !
So i check when i updated my database, and it was after the end of this game.
Why i don't see it in my personal database ?

Perhaps, the database only show some position when there's more than one game.
Any ideas?

Yes, that might be. Sometimes the DBase doesn't appear to be able to access lines with only a single game played the way it accesses other lines. The way to find a single game is to build the entire line from the starting position at the DBase, until your individual game comes up in the tree of possible moves.

You probably need to request an update. It might be the case that the game in question was completed after your last PDB update, while GK have updated the normal DB since, hence the game is on the GKDB, but not your PDB.

You can request an update by going to the DB section, switching to personal, and the request link should be underneath the mian board.

Yes and maybe your own criteria exclude this particular game. Also try to browse back some moves, and maybe your previous game will turn up.
