 | | Susan Freeman: Well, guys. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Apologies for the inconvenience. The only thing I can think of is that CG is in the process of changing ad companies, and perhaps the filter has not been set up properly? Please let us know if this continues.
Hopefully it will be gone in a day.
Thank you for your patience. |

 | | offramp: Any chance of the <Isle of Wight Masters 2026>, with Jones, Gormally, Royal etc.? |

 | | WannaBe: Looks like the ads issue on home page is now fixed. 👍 |

 | | perfidious: <zed....(I often mock <perf>'s listings on <Doll>, or as some might say, spin new thread from his old yarns)> If by mocking you frequently come in with something less than five minutes after a post on that page, I quite agree. Many would call this behaviour <stalking>. |
|
| Feb-19-26 | | stone free or die: Oh, you put it out here?
Laff!
OK, you might think that, but does a spider stalk the fly? (You are a piece of work, <perf>, gotta say) |

 | | quousque: How do I download an image here?
Thanks |
|
| Feb-19-26 | | stone free or die: <quousque> do you mean upload? As in, make a submission of a player photo or somesuch? |
|

| | quousque: I'd like to upload a White opening reproduced on the board. I'd like to know its name. |
|
| Feb-19-26 | | stone free or die: That doesn't sound like an image question - it's more of an opening question perhaps? Have you tried using the <Opening Explorer>? Opening Explorer
It doesn't use images, but moves (or FEN, if you know what that is). PS- I'm not an admin, just a long-time user wanting to be a little helpful at the moment. |
|
| Feb-19-26 | | thegoodanarchist: I submitted Timman vs Short, 1990 with the title <Timman Cut Short>. Not very elegant, but a GOTD for the legendary Timman seems in order. Hopefully someone will come up with something better. |
|
| Feb-19-26 | | thegoodanarchist: Maybe "Defeat of the Dutch" is better? |
|

 | | MissScarlett: It's that time again....reset the <GOTD> except for the last entry: <1092093|Timman|Ljubojevic|Untimid Timman> |
|
| Feb-20-26 | | thegoodanarchist: Or, just reuse this gotd, because the title is already apropos Timman vs Kasparov, 1985 |
|
| Feb-20-26 | | stone free or die: <Missy> why don't you just get super-Punster abilities to do whatever's needed yourself? This is like the hundredth time you've made such a request here. |

Just tried my mobile phone again.
Still can't use this site as there are so many ads they cover the page.
I can't even find the little x to get rid of each of them. I can only use this site on my desktop with the Brave browser. |

There is an option to view the desktop version at the bottom of the mobile home page(under the donate icon); if you find it easier to use. I noticed the interstitial ad sometimes will not display the "x" to close the ad if partially zoomed in. You would need to ensure you zoom all the way out to close. We will be reviewing our ad placements to ensure they are not obstructing content. Sorry for the inconvenience. |
|
| Feb-20-26 | | stone free or die: <steve> (& others) - It's not a zoom problem on the part of the user. Maybe on the part of the ad - as it does look zoomed in (not in proportion to the <CG> content). This would account for not being able to scroll, and for the close button being inaccessible. I saw similar behavior for a popup ad, which was zoomed in when first displayed. Since it was a popup, I was allowed to zoom out and find the "close" button. Not all the ads seem to behave like this.
One which I've hit twice now is the <Wegman>'s app ad. I can't scroll my screen (meaning I'm not zoomed) and the ad is oversized on first display (and can't be adjusted). . |

It's unusable without knowing that. There are still heaps of ads with no way to click them off.
The x is not visible on most of them.
I have a Samsung Galaxy A35.
<I noticed the interstitial ad sometimes will not display the "x" to close the ad if partially zoomed in. You would need to ensure you zoom all the way out to close.> I am zoomed all the way out -
still too many ads blocking my view.
The only real way is to use my desktop with the Brave browser -
then this site works fine. |

 | | Check It Out: <CG> Following up, I haven't seen any ads on my cell for a couple days now. That could mean success, but since there was no statement that the problem was solved, maybe not. Here is the only clue: <SF: The only thing I can think of is that CG is in the process of changing ad companies, and perhaps the filter has not been set up properly?> |

| | Check It Out: <mel gibson> Try getting a premium membership, that'll get rid of the ads. At $39/year, that's about .10 cents per day. |
|
| Feb-20-26 | | stone free or die: <CIO> (and <CG>)... Yes, one might fix it by getting a premium account. But one reason to have non-premium accounts is to allow potential premium consumers a chance to evaluate the website before subscribing. I have the patience to work around the oversized ads on the mobile platform, but I don't think an inexperienced, but interested, potential subscriber should be expected to do the same. Simply put, it should be fixed(*).

(*) One could also mention a component of professional pride is also at stake. |

| Feb-21-26 | | mel gibson: <Check It Out: <mel gibson> Try getting a premium membership, that'll get rid of the ads. At $39/year, that's about .10 cents per day.> This is not about me -
I can see it fine on my desktop using Brave.
It's about members of the public who mostly have mobile phones. |
