Things are getting weird. When I looked at Kevin Pacey's rating, I noticed it was still based on one game, not two. For some reason, the game he won was not getting added to the database. At this time, I was using the REPLACE command to populate the database. Also, it was failing silently. So, I Truncated the table, changed REPLACE to INSERT and recreated the table. This time, the game he won got in, but the game he lost did not. Maybe this game didn't make it in originally because of some mysterious problem with how INSERT works. It is frustrating that the MySQL commands are not performing reliably, and they are failing silently. So if it wasn't for noticing these specific logs, I would be unaware of the problem.
