| chessgames.com: <SwitchingQuylthulg> <G Pohla and G Pokhla might be the same person> <I'm inclined to think Harry Pohla might in fact be the correct spelling of his full name, though> And so did Bronstein, so that's good enough for us. (Link: Harry Pohla) The poor fellow only has one win in our database. Perhaps we can find some other wins by Mr. Pohla to better represent his talent. |

|
| chessgames.com: We just found more games by Harry, now his record is +20 -28 =24 (44.4%) -- much more representative of this somewhat obscure but strong player. |

| Tabanus: <cg> Moscow Open (2008) is here but not Moscow Open 2009. The pgn links on the official site do not work, but 804 games are now here (with the new duplicate player records such an import would probably create!): http://ratings.fide.com/view_pgn.ph... |

| notyetagm: <CG.COM> Two requests 1) Can you add the remaining Informant symbols ( , , ) that are not currently rendered? 2) Please add a forum to cover the <2009 World Youth Chess Championship>. http://wycc2009.tsf.org.tr/
Thanks |

| frogbert: <chessgames.com>
the introduction to the world chess blitz championship event on the front page is slightly wrong. it's not <12 invitees> in addition to the players of tal memorial. 6 of the 12 additional players actually <qualified> for the world championship in blitz, and the 7th is the reigning blitz champion. i think it's important to communicate that the blitz wc isn't purely an invitational event - giving the impression that it is, only fuels partly unfair rants that players have been left out, when there actually was an <open qualifier>, at least in principle. (even if its time and location is/was a bit prohibiting to some - it took place during the aeroflot chess festival) |

| chessgames.com: <frogbert> You're right, we were actually aware of that inaccuracy but wanted to convey the information as succinctly as possible. We just changed it to read "12 more" since the details are impossible to explain in the limited homepage space. <1) Can you add the remaining Informant symbols that are not currently rendered?> We can but there are a very large number of them. Which ones particularly did you have in mind as handy to use? By the way you skipped one, we also have  (the forced-move symbol) by typing "forced" inside the { and }. |

The Java game viewer is not loading when I click on a game link: I am the only user reporting this problem? Thanks |

| Red October: <chessgames.com> request a clarification, can past engine vs engine games be referred to in BOB III ? if so what about past engine games that have been played on a user's computer or at playchess.com (or a similar site) ? the reason I am asking is that in some openings the current theory has also been set by engine games and even engine games have been part of DBs such as chessgames.com |

| hms123: <Red October> I think that the basic principle is that you can use anything that is publicly available, but that you shouldn't set the position up on your computer and let it analyze. Having said that, it does seem that those, like you, who have opening repertoires that were developed in part through your own previous engine analysis ought to be able to use them. But even in that case, much of that repertoire might be already be available publicly on your player page or on gameknot etc. I am curious as to the response from the admins. |

| Red October: actually its my HIARCS Team and Rybka Team work that I am worried about :) |

|
| hms123: <Red October> You seem pretty trustworthy--probably because you remind me of someone. I can't think of whom at the moment, but I will deffinitely come up with it later. |

| DrNyet: Suggestion:
Have a check box to indicate to oneself that he has read a particular message. This would allow one to quickly find his place to catch up reading a forum. If this was implemented, it might be good to have a list of forums that one follows (I realize that we have a Buddies List and an editable menu). Also a link to go to the last read message of each followed forum (or perhaps the next message posted if any). |

|
| chessgames.com: <request a clarification, can past engine vs engine games be referred to in BOB III ?> Only if they really are past games that were previously published. For example if you located a Fritz or Rybka game when using the Opening Explorer, it's perfectly OK. We don't want to see any computer assessments (like +0.85 or -1.05 etc.) in the kibitzing areas; that is simply against the spirit of the competition. |

| laskersteinitz: The World Cup is one of the most exciting chess events there is. Here is a link to the pairings for round 1: http://www.fide.com/component/conte... I remember following the WC in 2005. It was also in Khanty-Mansiysk, and the coverage was basically more than adequate. |

| laskersteinitz: I just checked where the 2007 World Cup was. I had forgotten...Well, it was also in Khanty-Mansiysk. |

| keypusher: cg.com, hi, I just uploaded a game by the redoubtable Vadim Zvjaginsev against Sergey Volkov from 1998. If you add it to the database I'll put Dvoretsky's annotations in the kibitzing. |

| YouRang: Hi there. I just noticed a little but on the home page where it says: < <Game of the Day Archive> stores the last year of featured games. (Have an idea for Game of the Day? See our <Pun Submission Page!)> > The <Pun Submission Page> link simply takes you to the Game of the Day Archive page. |
