 | | 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". |

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). |

 | | offramp: I have had a great idea! You call the Sunday puzzles <"INSANE">....
Can you call the Monday puzzles <"RETARDED">? |

 | | Susan Freeman: <offramp> How about <genius> for Sunday? That way CG is not offending the insane. ( After all, You never know where they are lurking, or who they are.) |

 | | 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>. |

 | | Susan Freeman: <offramp> Many thanks. We'll check it out. :) |

 | | Susan Freeman: Any feedback on the ads situation? It seems to be much improved now. |

 | | offramp: How about a week of <Phony Benoni> Games of the Day titles? There'll never be anyone like him. |

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. |

 | | Fusilli: Could you please delete this old comment of mine: Mariano Sana The position was filled long ago and I don't want anyone to accidentally think it's still open. Thank you. |
|

 | | Check It Out: <Fusilli> if you right click on the exact post you want deleted you can "copy link address" so admin know exactly which post to axe. |
|

 | | Fusilli: <CIO> Thanks. I thought I had done that, but obviously I did something wrong. And thank you to the admin for deleting the post in question. Was that you? |
|
| May-01-26 | | stone free or die: <Fusilli> (just so ya know) - when "right-clicking" a post's date it shows up with the <(kibitz #xxxx)> in the link text, e.g. chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #43179) If you don't see the kibitz # then you don't have the perma-link. |

 | | offramp: Many thanks to the team there; it's tremendous to have 4 simultaneous Live Games. I don't know who did it, but I am very grateful! |

 | | Fusilli: Thanks, <CIO>
On a different note, the profile photo for David Bronstein is frankly not very appealing. In that photo he is old (way past his prime) and the quality of the photo is poor. Bronstein's Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David...) has three wonderful, high quality photos of him from his best years, free of copyright. No offense to Eric Schiller, who submitted the current photo, but could we please replace it to do justice to this chess legend? |
|
| May-01-26 | | stone free or die: <<F> old (way past his prime)> Heck, this could apply to virtually all of us <CG> posters! I think the Bronstein picture was selected because it was color. (I have a very vague memory of raising this issue with <Daniel>, but I could easily be mistaken on this one.) |
|
| May-01-26 | | stone free or die: (Also - the photo comes from Eric Schiller, so <Daniel> might have shown a preference to a user submission) |

 | | MissScarlett: <Many thanks to the team there; it's tremendous to have 4 simultaneous Live Games. I don't know who did it, but I am very grateful!> The Baku Open feed is running 48 live games via Lichess. |

 | | MissScarlett: What happened to the coverage of the Baku Open (2026)? No round 5 games. |
