 | | Stonehenge: <But player pages don't seem to update anymore when I visit them (number of games, rating).
And please delete the photo here, that's not Shiyanovsky but Zaitsev. Vladislav Shiyanovsky> The player pages seem to work now, accept for Alexey Ivanov (1974). He only has 16 games now, a bunch of them were misattributed. And please delete that photo. |

| Mar-31-26 | | mel gibson: I checked again today with my Samsung Galaxy A35 mobile.
I still can't use the site here except on my desktop with the Brave browser. Only some adverts have the little cross in the top
right hand corner so that I can delete them to view a chess game.
Even then I can only see half a page and a new advert blocks the view 5 seconds later. Some adverts have a fake cross close to the top right hand corner and
when I click on that I am taken to the adverts site and have to use the back button to go back. I've been telling this story to this site here for months yet no one is listening to me and nothing is done about it. |

| Mar-31-26 | | stone free or die: <mel gibson> I can sympathize, those I rarely use mobile features. Still, I've noticed the ads are much easier to close properly if you blowup (zoom in) the screen to the X's first, before clicking. But, I also noticed that the ads quickly reappear - much too quickly in my opinion, to the point of annoyance. I understand the need to generate revenue, and demonstrate the ads get seen, but the ad refresh rate is likely to drive traffic off the site (imo). I'm sure there will be the "upgrade to premium" refrain, but still, the site was much friendly to non-premiums in the past. . . |

I use a desktop computer -
I'm just trying to save this website as most people
nowadays use mobile phones. |

| Apr-01-26 | | stone free or die: <WG> just remember, <Rich fellas come up and they die, and their kids ain’t no good and they die out, but we keep a-coming. We’re the people that live. They can’t wipe us out, they can’t lick us. We’ll go on forever, Willber, cuz we’re the people.> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPN... |

| Apr-01-26 | | stone free or die: Can <Missy> fix this, or does <steve> need to be involved? <PS- the live page shows <"Live from Paphos CYP"> I thought <Missy> changed this. Am I confused (I mean, beyond normal?!) ?> Praggnanandhaa vs Sindarov, 2026 (kibitz #35) |

| | Willber G: Not required. :rolleyes: |
|
| Apr-01-26 | | stone free or die: Yeah, I posted it mostly for the "lurking reader". (But I admit a small sliver of a doubt to be totally honest - but carry on!) |

 | | MissScarlett: May we add World Championship Women's Candidates (2026) to the live game feed? |
|

| | Willber G: I think CG has given up on POTD (repeats, random difficulty, non-puzzles) which is a mistake as it's first thing new visitors see. |

| | MissScarlett: Not sure why Carlsen vs Radjabov, 2014 is also <GOTD> alongside Sutovsky vs E Inarkiev, 2009. Whatever the sequence of events, the <GOTD> list needs clearing, except for the last: <1283519|Romanishin|Marjanovic|Olegant Beauty (chessbug2)> |

I was unable to see the post I had made with my desktop using my mobile phone.
Adverts that I couldn't click off, the little x would not respond to any attempt to get rid of them -
they covered every part of the page.
This means that the problem is now far worse than it was. |

| | Susan Freeman: <mel gibson> thank you for letting us know. CG is looking into this. Thannks for your patience. |

| | MissScarlett: Could someone keep the Niemann-Liang and Topalov-Erdogmus matches updated for the next couple of days. Should return to normal service on Thursday. |

 | | WannaBe: <MissScarlett> How would we the members do that? Isn't that better done with internal email message/list? I volunteer, just let me know how. |

 | | Atterdag: To the CG admins.
On the Candidates forum questions have been asked, whether it's possible to change one's alias name. If so, how should it be done, please. I am not asking for myself - I changed my alias from Sokrates to Atterdag a few years ago, but I can't recall how I did it! :-] Retireborn brought it up. His intention was Reti Reborn, but everyone read it as the enigmatic Retire Born. Now he claims the alias name can't be changed. So I kindly ask for information/instruction, preferably posted on the Candidates forum for everyone to see. |

| | MissScarlett: Anyone can submit the PGNs via Lichess, but the super-editors can process them simultaneously, so I’m talking to them. Remember, I am not an insider here. |
