 | | Susan Freeman: <Rbd> It is obvious you are not familiar with US laws, and the civil liberties act of 1959.
The hair brained idea of a white only forum not only cannot be enforced, but it is illegal. You can politely request for the final time, and please post on my profile page so as not to pollute this forum with what amounts to idle clutter. |

| Dec-01-25 | | stone free or die: Can I get an acknowledgement that the utf-8 pun mishandling has at least been noted by an admin? In the interest of provoking a response(*) -
It looks amateurish seeing a mangled pun on the homepage of the site. (*) I've noted the problem previously, within the last year at least. |

 | | stevemcd87: <stone free or die: Can I get an acknowledgement that the utf-8 pun mishandling has at least been noted by an admin?> Yes, it's been noted. We usually fix it manually when it happens. Sorry we didn't get to it yesterday |
|
| Dec-01-25 | | stone free or die: Thanks <stevemcd87> - though I don't think it should require a manual fix. Seems we did have a previous case, and will inevitably have a subsequent one as well. Why can't this be handled automatically?
PS- Normally I just assume my posts on bugs are seen, and I'm actually detached enough to not totally care if they're ignored (being happy enough in the reporting effort, I am). But after a recent posting from another long-time user who I greatly respect - I think we should have an acknowledgement of bug reports. (I know your job isn't easy...) |

 | | offramp: Are you getting a page prepared for this beautiful match, from Monaco? <Clash of Generations II>
https://www.monaco-echecs.mc/about-...
3 Dec - 8 Dec
90'/40 moves + 30' + 30'' bonus
Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (34) v Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus (14). Normally I'd expect the young player to win these generations matches, but here I think MVL will win all the games. |

We apologize for this inconvenience.>
The maintenance is done by a single guy with long hair and glasses and a sandwich and three cans of Red Bull who owns a colossal monitor that takes up a whole desk. |

Psalm 120
1 I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. 2 Save me, LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. 3 What will he do to you, and what more besides, you deceitful tongue? 4 He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom bush. 5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek, that I live among the tents of Kedar! 6 Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. 7 I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.> Thanks for posting this <Gottweisheit> |

Not even a "We saw your post and are working on it" Total s*****how of a web site. Sell it, the current management is not worthy of running a Chinese laundry or take out food, and I am Chinese. Disgraceful to the original founders.> This is a great site and the people who run it do a pretty good job. Chess players are lucky to have it! |

https://www.chessgames.com/perl/che... The game Sindarov vs P Maghsoodloo, 2025 is not registering in the second list. It's also not showing in the list of Parham's games in the FreeStyle finals: Freestyle Grand Slam Finals (2025)/Parham Maghsoodloo |

| | Susan Freeman: <The Integrity: How come when you delete a post, it doesn't automatically redirect you back to the forum you were posting in?> To keep you on your toes? LOL
I'll ask Steve. |
|
| Dec-12-25 | | stone free or die: I've only asked this about a thousand times before, but could <CG> please implement a verbatim mode? Or at least provide us with public notice of the intent not too? If you're unfamiliar with verbatim mode, it's essentially a synonym for HTML's <pre>...</pre>. It would allow cut-and-pasting tabular data, like crosstables, and allow users to show url's in plaintext, etc., etc. (I'm good at work-arounds, but not many others are - nor should they have to be. Additionally, I can't turn off the line-splitting reformatting which is frustrating for me, and misleading for readers.) |

<CG>'s responsiveness is noted here, but I'm pretty sure <Steve> will tell you that it does automatically redirect you to the forum after deleting. Well, it certainly does for me. Perhaps the user got impatient - you can always use the <back> button to return to the forum quicker than <CG> anyways. . |
|
Dec-12-25
| | Susan Freeman: <SFoD> It does for me too. Perhaps his post has self-corrected? lol |

| | jnpope: <Susan Freeman>: tell Steve good job on fixing the 000 ECO code on upload. I appreciate it. |
|
Dec-13-25
| | Susan Freeman: <jnpope> Hi. Sure. :) |
|
| Dec-13-25 | | The Integrity: No, when I delete a post, I get redirected to a page that says, "Message deleted" and there is a link I can click to "return to the forum", but if I don't click it, I don't get redirected back to the forum. I'm just stuck on https://www.chessgames.com/perl/kill No delayed redirect.
Never has been. |
|

| | MissScarlett: <good job on fixing the 000 ECO code on upload.> For every fix, there's a fault. When an unorthodox game is processed, it now doesn't show up on the 'Game Links' list, so it can't be readily checked. One has to go and search for it the under one of the players' names or in a tournament/game collection. The submitted PGN, however, does appear in the separate Raw Data list of uploaded games. |
