The bug is also affecting my log: timurthelenk-numerist-2020-328-848

Okay, that is now corrected. Let me know if any others need correcting.

in the last three metamachy games I played my opponents resigned but I still lost

I have now fixed these. Since the backup had all the same moves as the log but with different results, I first copied the backup to the log. Since the player who was supposed to play White instead got the first move as Black, the $players string was actually listing the Black player first. So that the White player would be listed first, I switched the order of the players in the $players string. When I reloaded each game, it calculated the correct results and saved them to the database.

If any other games need fixing, these should be brought to my attention. The precise log name is required, and a link to the log would be helpful.

I have made one small change. I created a new checkbox in Edit mode called "Skip First Move", and I checked this for Metamachy. When checked, this causes $player and $opponent to be switched when an invitation is accepted or a tournament game is assigned. This switch happens after the $players string has been assigned. So, it does not affect the value of that string, which will still put the White player first. In tests, it gave the first move to Black, and it correctly identified the winner when someone resigned. Note that "1. skip;" still had to be provided in the Initial Moves section.

This does not affect games already in progress or already finished. Therefore, it does not fix any games that gave the wrong results. This will have to be handled separately.
