I'm using CA9 and the games came in correctly for me, too. Maybe your database is corrupted (because of the VM? Databases can be awfully direct with disk access).


I really doubt that, since anything of that kind would be very much more likely to manifest itself in the data being unreadable or unintelligible, than in perfectly well-organized games that just happen to contain actual games, just somehow not the games actually played. 

Right now I just hope my problem is confined to the Anand-Topalov match.

All right, I have a copy of CA on my windows virtual machine, just for the purpose of using the automated upates and transferring them to Scid on Linux.  So I was checking the WC match and I find all the games are totally bogus!!  See here:

[Event "Ch World (match)"]
[Site "Sofia (Bulgaria)"]
[Date "2010.04.25"]
[Round "2"]
[White "Anand Viswanathan (IND)"]
[Black "Topalov Veselin (BUL)"]
[Result "1-0"]
[WhiteElo "2787"]
[BlackElo "2805"]
[ECO "E04"]
[Annotator ""]
[Source ""]
[Remark ""]

1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.cxd5 cxd5 4.Nf3 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Bf4 Bf5 7.e3 e6 8.Qb3 Bb4 9.Bb5 O-O 10.O-O Bxc3 11.Qxc3 Rc8 12.Rfc1 a6 13.Bxc6 Rxc6 14.Qe1 Qb6 15.Rxc6 bxc6 16.Bd6 Rc8 17.b3 Be4 18.Ne5 Qd8 19.Bc5 Nd7 20.Nxd7 Qxd7 21.f3 Bg6 22.Rc1 Qb7 23.e4 h6 24.Qe3 Qb5 25.a4 Qb7 26.e5 Rb8 27.Rc3 Rc8 28.h3 Qd7 29.Qe2 Ra8 30.a5 Qd8 31.Bb6 Qd7 32.b4 Qe7 33.Rc5 Kh7 34.Qd2 Qb7 35.Qc1 Rc8 36.Rc3 Qe7 37.Bc5 Qb7 38.Bb6 Qe7 39.b5 axb5 40.Rxc6 Rxc6 41.Qxc6 Qa3 42.Qxb5 1-0

Well, the second match game was a Catalan, for crying out loud!  And all the other games are totally bogus as well.  What gives with CA?  Does anybody else notice this?

And yes, I did check this in CA, not just Scid, and the foregoing is what is shows.
