 | | Susan Freeman: <OCF> Thanks. I took care of it, I hope. |

| Apr-12-26 | | mel gibson: < I checked again today with my Samsung Galaxy A35 mobile. I still can't use the site here except on my desktop with the Brave browser.
Only some adverts have the little cross in the top right hand corner so that I can delete them to view a chess game. Even then I can only see half a page and a new advert blocks the view 5 seconds later. Some adverts have a fake cross close to the top right hand corner and when I click on that I am taken to the adverts site and have to use the back button to go back. I've been telling this story to this site here for months yet no one is listening to me and nothing is done about it.> I checked again on my mobile phone today.
I was unable to see the post I had made with my desktop using my mobile phone.
Adverts that I couldn't click off, the little x would not respond to any attempt to get rid of them -
they covered every part of the page.
This means that the problem is now far worse than it was. |

| | Susan Freeman: <mel gibson> thank you for letting us know. CG is looking into this. Thannks for your patience. |

| | Susan Freeman: Thanks |

 | | MissScarlett: Could someone keep the Niemann-Liang and Topalov-Erdogmus matches updated for the next couple of days. Should return to normal service on Thursday. |
|
Apr-14-26
 | | WannaBe: <MissScarlett> How would we the members do that? Isn't that better done with internal email message/list? I volunteer, just let me know how. |

 | | Atterdag: To the CG admins.
On the Candidates forum questions have been asked, whether it's possible to change one's alias name. If so, how should it be done, please. I am not asking for myself - I changed my alias from Sokrates to Atterdag a few years ago, but I can't recall how I did it! :-] Retireborn brought it up. His intention was Reti Reborn, but everyone read it as the enigmatic Retire Born. Now he claims the alias name can't be changed. So I kindly ask for information/instruction, preferably posted on the Candidates forum for everyone to see. |

| | MissScarlett: Anyone can submit the PGNs via Lichess, but the super-editors can process them simultaneously, so I’m talking to them. Remember, I am not an insider here. |
|
Apr-15-26
| | MissScarlett: My directions have been neglected. Just get to Lichess and download and submit individual PGNs. <stonehenge>, I’m talking to you. |
|
Apr-15-26
| | MissScarlett: The women’s Candidates need updating. I’m incommoded for a couple of days and the place grinds to a halt. Get on it! |
|
| Apr-16-26 | | stone free or die:
I'm soooo glad <CG> is throttling off my attempts to turn Javascript off, sooo I can see ads like this one from Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/431523... And only $30...
Gheesh!

 | | Chessical: My issue on Mar-30-26 regarding computer analysis appears to have been resolved. Thank you. |

Please email screenshots to chess@chessgames.com so we can pass along to our ad partners.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
<Atterdag>
A user must create a new account with a different email address for aliases. In this case, we were able to update the username to PascalCasing, <RetiReborn>. He should be able to see the update in future comments. |

| | MissScarlett: <Mark Crowther @MarkTWIC I will be launching a Patreon very soon. I will have to stop compiling TWIC fairly soon unless I can find a way to make it pay. Maybe its time has come and gone. I have some good ideas for a Patreon community but maybe I left that too late too.> https://x.com/MarkTWIC/status/20450... <Mark Crowther @MarkTWIC
If anyone has real paying work, I would consider that. I applied for a job fairly recently in the chess world, couldn't even get an interview, even though I thought I was absolutely ideal. I'm 60 next month, will have to work into my 70s, so now is the time to find something.> https://x.com/MarkTWIC/status/20450... |

I guess Crowther's <PayPal> button never worked out. Kind of a shame FIDE couldn't subscribe or somehow step up and ensure TWIC's continuation. |

I think it would be a lot easier if your ad partners
just got out their own mobile phones and checked what's going on.
Also check out the site with many different Browsers on a desktop and a mobile: Google Chrome,
Apple Safari,
Microsoft Edge,
Mozilla Firefox,
Opera,
Brave
Use the Android versions for mobile phones.
Your ad partner should be on top of all of that -
they should be telling you.
BTW - if we check out today's puzzle some people have commented about ads: C Ionescu vs M Wahls, 1990 (move 24) I notice that my Brave browser no longer stops the adverts with my desktop -
so the adverts are even more powerful now. |

| | stevemcd87: I haven’t logged into my account in weeks on my iPhone 7, and I’m still able to use the site without any issues.
I will try to acquire an inferior Android device(smirk) to investigate further.
<z> Are you using an Android device as well?
Sorry for the inconvenience. |
|
| Apr-19-26 | | stone free or die: <stevemcd87> yes. I'm mostly a desktop user, but sometimes I do use the phone. I rarely play a game over on the phone though - that's really difficult (often hitting a move in the PGN listing instead of a move button, etc.) |

 | | offramp: Today's puzzle is <insane>. <Unsound of mind or lack of the ability to understand that prevents someone from having the mental capacity required by law to enter into a particular relationship, status, or transaction or that releases someone from criminal or civil responsibility>. It's a sad and serious mental disorder. People murder other people, then in court they say that they were insane. For the puzzle I would prefer the word "hard". |
|
| Apr-19-26 | | stone free or die: <<steve> I will try to acquire an inferior Android device(smirk) to investigate further.> That's not necessary - almost all platforms have a mobile emulation mode. You can use Developer Mode in your desktop browser and select <"Toogle device toolbar"> or somesuch. . |

 | | FSR: Someone needs to revise History of the World Chess Championship by adding at the end the most recent world championships, namely Nepomniachtchi - Ding World Championship Match (2023) and Ding - Gukesh World Championship Match (2024). |
|
Apr-19-26
| | offramp: I have had a great idea! You call the Sunday puzzles <"INSANE">....
Can you call the Monday puzzles <"RETARDED">? |
|
Apr-20-26
| | Susan Freeman: <offramp> How about <genius> for Sunday? That way CG is not offending the insane. ( After all, You never know where they are lurking, or who they are.) |
