I'm soooo glad <CG> is throttling off my attempts to turn Javascript off, sooo I can see ads like this one from Etsy:

And only $30...

Gheesh!

Please email screenshots to chess@chessgames.com so we can pass along to our ad partners.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

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.>

<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.>

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.

Also the <CG> staff itself. Just log out and look at the site as an anonymous user.

  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).

Can you call the Monday puzzles <"RETARDED">?

  offramp: I am a bit agist. I don't like short people either, but that is my problem.

<BUT IF THERE ARE> any agists out there, you might like this tournament:

https://lichess.org/broadcast/fide-...

FIDE World Senior Team Championships 2026

It's a 9-round Swiss from Durres, ALB.
One player is Gormally, and he posts frequent videos on YT.

It's teams, though. That format always creates problems at <cg.com>.

There'll never be anyone like him.

No improvement.

  offramp: <User: mel gibson> I know that the Home Page is flooded with adverts.
If your house has been flooded you could choose DORMEO mattresses. They have an 80% absorbent quotient. They can be used as barricades against the Apocalypse.
