Jul-24-18 chessgames.com chessforum    chessgames.com: <Big Pawn> <It's also a spoiler. When I review a game, I try not to know who won or what the result was.> Yes, exactly. That's why we have the preference option <Don't show game result (on search results, etc.)> If you don't have that enabled, you might want      Jul-24-18 Biographer Bistro    chessgames.com: I suppose that should read "Open" although that's just speculation. These days it would always be an open, but 1976 had different attitudes.      Jul-22-18 Chessgames Bookie chessforum    chessgames.com: About the Dortmund exotics: EPIC GAME was settled as "YES" because of V Kovalev vs Kramnik, 2018 . UNDERPROMOTION was settled as "NO". The only promotion whatsoever was A Giri vs J K Duda, 2018 and it was of the normal queen-variety. Dortmund turned out to be a OOO-fest, ...      Jul-22-18 Bronstein vs Keene, 1975    chessgames.com: We stuck the computer on this one for 6 hours last night, knowing well there would be a difference of opinion: analysis of move 23.? Ironically, SF would award a question-mark (or at least a “better is...”) to 23.Ng5, ranking it as only the third best option in a winning ...      Jul-20-18 I Nepomniachtchi vs Kramnik, 2018    chessgames.com: We'll switch to Giri-Wojtaszek in just a minute.      Jul-18-18 Nisipeanu vs A Giri, 2018    chessgames.com: Last game of the day. Please note that there are no games tomorrow; the excitement continues on Friday.      Jun-28-18 M Stean vs Browne, 1974    chessgames.com: <TheTamale: Is there some way we can "pin" a game or "add to favorites"?> Scroll down below the kibitzing and use the "Add to Collection" button. (See Chessgames Help for more info.)      Jun-27-18 R Pruijssers vs R Praggnanandhaa, 2018    chessgames.com: This is the game that clinched his 3rd norm.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 237 OF 237 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-21-18    offramp: <Big Pawn: Looking at the list of members who have kibitzed the most, I see that <Saffuna>, formerly <Jim Bartle> has kibitze over 77,000 times!!> And a few of those posts have been about chess, so I guess he/she knows how to play the game. Aug-21-18    saffuna: <Looking at the list of members who have kibitzed the most, I see that <Saffuna>, formerly <Jim Bartle> has kibitze over 77,000 times!! WOW!!! > Yet <big pawn> also complains that I run away. He wants to have it both ways. Aug-21-18    saffuna: <boomie> Since July 1 I have posted to 19 different pages about chess. Aug-21-18    Big Pawn: <saffuna: <Looking at the list of members who have kibitzed the most, I see that <Saffuna>, formerly <Jim Bartle> has kibitze over 77,000 times!! WOW!!! > Yet <big pawn> also complains that I run away. He wants to have it both ways.> I'm not complaining about anything. On the contrary. I think a special place for the kibitzer with the most kibitzes should be created on the homepage. Or at least some kind of annual award should be announced with pomp and circumstance. 77,000 posts!!! That's an amazing post count!!! Aug-21-18    saffuna: You certainly have complained many times that I and the other liberals don't respond to you. Shall we check how many times you have written "crickets" or "scalded dog"? You want to have it both ways. Aug-21-18    Big Pawn: <saffuna: You certainly have complained many times that I and the other liberals don't respond to you.> Not because of your post count! I make note of your failure to respond when I present evidence during a debate and you suddenly go quiet. But seriously, <Jim>, all politics aside, 77,000 posts (!!!) ought to be noticed. That dwarfs everyone else. 77,000!!! Aug-21-18    saffuna: <Not because of your post count! I make note of your failure to respond when I present evidence during a debate and you suddenly go quiet.> See? You want to have it both ways. Your typical style. Aug-21-18    Boomie: <Although the issue of proper behavior is of importance, there are technical issues that are more urgent right now. This forum is for helping solve technical problems. Please take your learned but off topic discussions elsewhere. Issues of posting guidelines will be handled after the site resumes functioning. Until then, leave this forum to those who are trying to help repair the site.> Aug-21-18    Annie K.: Kevin has been in charge of selecting the PotDs for Daniel. He sent his selections to Daniel, who would make the final decisions and upload them. He has a CG account, but is not a regular member. As for the Players of the Day, seriously, most of the time they are selected based on their birthdays. Exceptions are special occasions such as Valentine's Day and the holidays. The Openings and Quotes are, I think, on fully automated cycles, but Sargon should check anyway, just to be sure. Aug-21-18    zanzibar: <<Annie K> Exceptions are special occasions such as Valentine's Day and the holidays.> Or, importantly, the recently deceased. . Aug-21-18    Annie K.: Yes, indeed. Aug-21-18    jith1207: <Nok>: speak for yourself, when you say puzzles are the only biggest use of daily features. Opening explorer and GOTD are very useful and helpful here, though weeks without quote of the day might not be too bad. You see more comments on puzzles games, because... Eh... People comment on their results and variations to the puzzle? It's not hard to see why that gets more noticeable, but admins would know which features are most used in daily basis. I agree getting up the tournament page for current events is a priority, but the daily features on home page may help a lot of beginners and players as they prefer, and them being broken would give the site a bad look instantly. Aug-21-18    morfishine: I would like to gift a member with a premium membership. How do I do that? Aug-21-18    technical draw: Thanks <morfishine>! Just send me the money instead. Aug-21-18    WannaBe: <morfishine> Home page, right hand side, go to the bottom, 6th link up, "Chess Gift Page" And it is W-A-N-N-A-B-E Much thanks in advance. Aug-21-18    morfishine: But <TD> since you are already an esteemed and highly respected premium member, you are also able to sustain your membership, unlike other losers or gnats or net-trolls on this site Aug-21-18    Annie K.: Yeah, nothing says "site in big trouble" like a broken homepage. Even if absolutely nobody used any of the daily features, this point alone would still make ensuring they don't run out the #1 priority. <morfishine> this may work: Gift Membership Page Aug-21-18    JimNorCal: Annie (or anyone), does anyone follow stats for CG access. Are people beginning to slip away? I notice that Kibitz comments seem to take longer before they slide down and page out .... which could be because fewer comments which in turn could indicate fewer visits Aug-21-18    WannaBe: <JimNorCal> Ask, and ye shall receive/know: https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/ches... Aug-21-18    zanzibar: Can somebody tell me when chessgames.com was first registered as a domain name? I have sources saying 1998-07-01, but is that 100% accurate? . Aug-21-18    zanzibar: Does anybody know if Alberto Artidiello ever had an account, or if he ever commented on <CG>? What year did he sell off his interest? . Aug-21-18    JimNorCal: Thanks <WannaBe>! I had a feeling you would know :) This page is also chockful of interesting info details. http://chessgames.com.smoothstat.com Chessgames.com Estimated Traffic Daily Unique Visitors: 123,752 Monthly Unique Visitors: 3,766,621 Yearly Unique Visitors: 45,169,480 Aug-21-18    JimNorCal: All the more interesting Alexa stats require a paid subscription LOL. Looks like CG has dipped a bit lately compared to other sites of similar rank. But that doesn't tell you if we dipped or they gained. And the display does not display any comparisons of CG with itself. Aug-21-18    JimNorCal: This also has some traffic stats. http://chessgames.com.ipaddress.com Sorry for the formatting.
