< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 452 OF 452 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-20-25    stone free or die: Multi-lingual poster? User: peternavaro Dec-20-25    Susan Freeman: <Stonehenge> I spoke to Steve about thiis poster days ago. He said not to worry. He is a troll. Yes, I am well aware of what the user name means. Good pick up on your part. :) Dec-20-25    Stonehenge: Thanks. Thirty years ago I took two courses in Serbian. The bad words I learned from some people from ex-Yugoslavia. Dec-20-25    Stonehenge: I wonder if the pun <December, 1963 (Oh, What a Knight)> has been used already. I'm too lazy to find a matching game. Dec-20-25    MissScarlett: Try N Littlewood vs B Brinck-Claussen, 1963. Since <steve> wont be here until Monday at the earliest, tomorrow as the first of <cg>'s 12 Days of Christmas has been cancelled! Dec-21-25    WannaBe: I wonder if this is possible: Members can put poster(s) on ignore list, can this be 'extended' to specific pages? Say I don't care for 'Guy & Dolls' or 'Music' page, can those be customized to not show up when I click on the kibitz button on top right or 'new kibitz'n' link at the bottom? (I am on web page, so the layout may be different from mobile layout) Dec-21-25    MissScarlett: There are more pressing priorities. Dec-21-25    offramp: I kibitzed a Christmas pun at A N Heidel vs D Schechter, 2001 (kibitz #1). Perhaps I should have put, <Schlechter Noel, No L>. Dec-21-25    stone free or die: I think <WannaBe> has a good idea, but I have to agree with <Missy> on this one. But I think it's still <Suzz> who sets the priorities (though often under advisement). Dec-21-25    stone free or die: <But I think it's still <Suzz> who sets the priorities (though often under advisement).> Or should that be <"under advertisement">?!? Dec-26-25    MissScarlett: Can we have live coverage of the world rapid and blitz championships? Not so much for the live games but because all the games will be automatically uploaded via Lichess. Or is Steve on holiday again? Dec-26-25    Susan Freeman: <MissS> I'll get after him. Dec-29-25    Willber G: Another problem with the POTD (this is happening more frequently). Seeing as it's front and centre of the home page, shouldn't this be a priority? Dec-29-25    FSR: Please delete this game, which I recently submitted: [Event "World Senior (Over-65) Championship"] [Site "Gallipoli ITA"] [Date "2025.10.22"] [EventDate "2025.10.21"] [Round "2.77"] [White "Elguezabal Varela, Daniel"] [Black "Rhine, Frederick"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO "D79"] [WhiteElo "2319"] [BlackElo "1972"] [PlyCount "111"] [Source "https://lichess.org/broadcast/fide-..."] 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5 3. dxe5 Ng4 4. Bf4 Bc5 5. e3 Nc6 6. Qxg4 Kf8 7. Qd1 g5 8. Bg3 h5 9. h4 g4 10. a3 a5 11. Nc3 b6 12. Ne4 Be7 13. Bd3 Bb7 14. Ne2 a4 15. Qc2 Ra5 16. Qc3 Rh6 17. O-O-O Re6 18. Nd4 Rg6 19. Nxc6 Bxc6 20. Kb1 Re6 21. f4 Qa8 22. Qc2 d5 23. Ng5 Rh6 24. cxd5 Bxd5 25. Be4 c6 26. Bxd5 cxd5 27. Qf5 Qe8 28. Rd3 f6 29. Rc1 Qb5 30. Ne6+ Kg8 31. Nd4 Qa6 32. Qc8+ 1-0 The opponent's name, colors, and other information are wrong. Please delete, and I will resubmit with the correct information. Thank you. Dec-29-25    Stonehenge: It's gone. Dec-30-25    stone free or die: A couple of suggestions for <CG> (I happen to think them worthy enough to hope they actually might be implemented!) 1. Ensure adverts don't overlap with the chessboard or chessboard controls when playing over a game. 2. When dealing with tournaments and selecting a player results put the score/games, win/lost/draw stats on the page, e.g. World Blitz Championship (2025)/Shakhriyar Mamedyarov * * * * * 1. It's just plain annoying to have to repeatedly close an ad just to play over a game on the phone. I don't mind seeing ads, not even updating ones, but they shouldn't interfere with playing over the game. 2. This request would be especially useful for large tournaments, where not all players are listed on the leaderboard. For such players this would be the only way to get their stats when there's no crosstable. Dec-31-25    Tabanus: 3. Get someone to work with the engine spew. Example: World Blitz Championship (2025). CG's sloppy standard of reporting makes it look as if Erigaisi won, a point ahead of Caruana, with Carlsen in 3rd place. Dec-31-25    Tabanus: I. e. something more substantial than just live coverage for amusement. <Or is Steve on holiday again?> Steve is working hard enough. To me it seems the holidays belong to others than him. Dec-31-25    stone free or die: <<Tab> CG's sloppy standard of reporting makes it look as if Erigaisi won, a point ahead of Caruana, with Carlsen in 3rd place.> <Missy> broke out the blitz KO finals stage: World Blitz KO Finals (2025) I would be afraid to suggest him/her constructing a leaderboard for fear of being called a GWH again! Really the title of the page you cited: World Blitz Championship (2025) So be <World Blitz Ch (Swiss stage) (2025)> or somesuch, to show it's the qualification phase of the tournament. . Dec-31-25    thegoodanarchist: Does anyone remember the link to the page that ranks users by the number of comments? Jan-01-26    WannaBe: <TGA> Home Page -> Scroll down right hand side (almost bottom) "Database Statistics" This is on regular web page, but should also be similiar position on Mobile Web View Jan-01-26    WannaBe: That is weird, I posted the answer to <TGA> at 7PM Pacific/10 PM Eastern, and now it shows as I posted Jan 1 2026(???????) Jan-01-26    Tabanus: Happy New Year <CG>! My wish for 2026 is the same as before, it is to hire a competent chess editor. If the New Events were handled properly, I think you'd be taken more seriously :) Jan-01-26    stone free or die: <<Tab> Happy New Year <CG>! My wish for 2026 is the same as before, it is to hire a competent chess editor. If the New Events were handled properly, I think you'd be taken more seriously :)> I think the only real place <CG> can outshine the competition is doing history right. But <Tab> makes a good suggestion(*), insofar as getting the new events done right would be an obvious attraction for causal viewers to become members. (And best New Year's wishes for <Tab>, <CG>, etc.) . Jan-01-26    stone free or die: (*) Though a tip of the hat to <Missy>, who I think is currently doing a fairly good job, though against the odds, of adding current events.
