 | | MissScarlett: Resubmit the game with the fuller information. A Source would be nice, too. |

 | | FSR: I just submitted a game Kasparov-Rachels. After submitting it I realized I had left it with an erroneous ECO code. A67 is correct. Thanks. |

 | | WannaBe: <FSR> That is 5 years of hard labour* and be whipped with a wet noodle for the next 48 hours... *Analyzing 1m bullet games played by me. |
|
| Jun-12-25 | | Captain Hindsight: <WannaBe> Playing a million bullet games is already a sign of unhealthy addictive behavior, but analyzing them afterwards is beyond the pale.
I know what I'm talking about. |

| | MissScarlett: The <Puzzle of the Day> feature has not been updated since Thursday. I understood User: kev was in charge but he hasn't been seen for three weeks. |

 | | stevemcd87: <MissS> Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It seems he attempted to use Morphy vs W Broughton, 1859 as the Friday puzzle but the script doesn't allow odds games. I'll be sure to update our puzzle validator to avoid this in the future. Sorry for the inconvenience. |

 | | DaltriDiluvi: When you're drawing a diagram, can you mark a square with anything else than a pawn or a piece? For example, suppose I want to illustrate that a knight on a8 can only go to b6 or c7:

|
| Jun-16-25 | | stone free or die: <DD> - I don't think <CG> allows this (but I welcome any corrections). However I think <ChessBase>, and certainly <SCID>, do. |

| | DaltriDiluvi: Thanks for answering, <stone free or die>! |
|
| Jun-17-25 | | stone free or die: <DD> de nada!
I use <SCID> far more than <CB>, so I point out that its diagrams are done on the <Comment> window's diagram, and not the main board. You get an arrow by clicking on a square and releasing the mouse button on a different square. There is a select of colors to choose from, as well as geometrical shapes to be placed on the mouse button-up square. ./ |

| | MissScarlett: I've deleted the submission of a game from the FIDE world rapid and blit team championships, because I intend to upload the complete events in the near future. |

 | | offramp: The <2nd UzChess Cup 2025> features the hideous refusenik Nodirbek Abdusattorov. He refused to touch a women's hand!! He must be the favourite. |
|
| Jun-20-25 | | stone free or die: <<off> He refused to touch a women's hand!!> But he apologized profusely for it, and even brought her flowers. I know it's true because it's on a youtube video. |

35...?
(I am still unable to do the "+m=35.5" link.)
BTW, I saw this: <Vasyl Ivanchuk <4,245 more games of Ivanchuk>>.
THAT is a lot of games. |

 | | Dionysius1: Hi cg.com
I've read your page about the Daily Chess Puzzle. I've also been trying to solve the Monday puzzle over the last few weeks, and I think for that day at least the function is no longer fit for purpose. Today's puzzle solution had a showy opening move, but there was no clear resolution in a couple of moves in any of the lines, which is what you'd expect from a "very easy" puzzle. This has been approximately the case for the last few weeks. I suspect you're using AI to select the puzzles, and it's doing it wrong and nobody's checking. I don't try Tuesday's if I can't solve Monday's satisfactorily, so I'm giving the Daily Chess Puzzle a rest now for a few months. I'll check back in September to see if it's ffp. Be careful you don't discourage a lot of novices by setting the Monday standard too high! You used to claim encouraging them was one of your goals |

Looks like <GotD> isn't utf-8 safe. Chessgames Home Page
Also, is User: kev still doing the <PotD>? |
|
| Jun-23-25 | | stone free or die: Seems the <GotD> glitch has been fixed: <Régime de Vishy> now shows up properly. |

We've made an update that seems to have resolved the issue. Sorry for the delay. |
|
| Jun-28-25 | | stone free or die: <steve> good. Just curious - why only a limited sequencing? Or did I hallucinate it? |

 | | OhioChessFan: What was the point in removing Borin Topic? You have a seriously unhumorous admin. |
|
| Jun-30-25 | | stone free or die: Goran Topic (was <Borin Topic>, now is <Goran Topic>) Borin Topic (current <Borin Topic>) The latter has no (stub) games, which I believe is why comments can't be made. Not sure when all this was done (i.e. haven't check <Wayback> yet), nor do I know who did it (but I do have a leading suspect in mind!). |
