 | | FSR: As I mentioned in September, IM John Donaldson sent me an email with over 1200 games of IM Jeremy Silman, some with annotations, including by Silman himself. I asked where to forward this email. <MissScarlett> said: <Send in batches of 100. Not all at once, that is.> I don't understand this. Send to where? If you give me an email address or other instructions, I will be happy to pass this along to IM Donaldson, who I trust will be able to do this. |
|
| Nov-09-25 | | stone free or die: <FSR> can you make the unchaperoned PGN collection (zipfile?) available for download? It's fairly simple to set up a Google drive, or even github server. Then <Missy> can just shepherd the games him/herself for <CG>, and the rest of us can skip the unnecessary step of downloading from an intermediary. Moreover, once you set up the mechanics, you can use it for future distributions. |
|
| Nov-09-25 | | stone free or die: PS- though I suggest you setting up your own server, if you prefer I could set up upload privileges on my google drive. (Only a goggle account for yourself being required) |
|

 | | jnpope: I believe <MissScarlett> was intimating that you upload them to <CG> directly, 100 at a time to make processing easier. |

| Nov-11-25 | | Gottschalk: Quote of the Day
"Our mind is all we've got. Not that it won't lead us astray sometimes, but we still have to analyze things out within ourselves."--- Fischer |
|
| Nov-11-25 | | Gottschalk: <to Webmaster> In fact, it's worse to stumble and fall because you trusted someone else. There are many examples: Samson and Delilah, Julius Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Jude, Bolsonaro and Mauro Cid... you can choose. But the mistake Fischer made by evading American taxes is so obvious that it's grotesque!! As in the game below: Fischer vs L Loayza, 1965 |
|
| Nov-11-25 | | Gottschalk: <to Webmaster> Because we also have Laws and Justice- Be aware of this! So, you are free to have a divergent opinion; but if you say or do something stupid, you can end up in court—where the judge decides. To me, O.J. Simpson was guilty and Mike Tyson was innocent. My opinion is valid for me, but I must control my temper and my tongue because the Justice system said otherwise. Remember, all true have two sides. For that, before anything, make sure that you will win. Take advantage to the feedback. |

| | FSR: As I have previously mentioned, IM John Donaldson has over 1200 games of the late IM and author Jeremy Silman, some with annotations, that he (and I) would like to see uploaded to CG. Per <Missy>'s directive, I have told him to submit them in batches of 100. Please be on the lookout for them. I think they will be a great addition to the site. Once he's uploaded the Silman games, he also has other games by noted players that he would like to submit. Thanks. |
|
| Nov-12-25 | | stone free or die: <FSR> would it be possible to get the PGN unfiltered - i.e. exactly as Donaldson sent it to you. As you know, <CG> processes the PGN, and since Donaldson has other batches of files... (Did you see my post above? I could also provide you with an email as last resort) |
|
Nov-12-25
| | FSR: <sfod> You can email me: fsrhine AT gmail - and I'll forward you John's email with the two attachments. I found a couple of errors in the first of two batches he sent me, which I have since told him about: a game against Greg Fischer is duplicated, and a game Cross-Silman is given as 1-0 when it should be 0-1. |
|
| Nov-12-25 | | stone free or die: Will do, <FSR> (give me a day or two to get my old laptop out). Thanks. |

| Nov-16-25 | | Messiah: Today I managed to lose against a 13 years old girl in the team championship. I am so ridiculously bad! |

| | MissScarlett: Attempting to update my collection Game Collection: Game of the Day Pun Index (O - Pot) returns a <403 Forbidden> message. No problem with other <GOTD> collections. |
|
| Nov-17-25 | | stone free or die: I was getting bunches of 403's yesterday just trying to post a comment. |

| | WannaBe: I've been getting a lot of 404 from my wife... Not sure what it means. Need to call tech support. |
|
| Nov-18-25 | | stone free or die: Good one! |
|
| Nov-18-25 | | Gottschalk: <to Webmaster> What do you made when I was without internet due the rain? Did you break a peace agreement?
-You will regret it! |
|
| Nov-19-25 | | Gottschalk: <to Webmaster> A grizzly hug is the only one you'll ever get. |
