Dec-30-25    stone free or die: A couple of suggestions for <CG> (I happen to think them worthy enough to hope they actually might be implemented!) 1. Ensure adverts don't overlap with the chessboard or chessboard controls when playing over a game. 2. When dealing with tournaments and selecting a player results put the score/games, win/lost/draw stats on the page, e.g. World Blitz Championship (2025)/Shakhriyar Mamedyarov * * * * * 1. It's just plain annoying to have to repeatedly close an ad just to play over a game on the phone. I don't mind seeing ads, not even updating ones, but they shouldn't interfere with playing over the game. 2. This request would be especially useful for large tournaments, where not all players are listed on the leaderboard. For such players this would be the only way to get their stats when there's no crosstable. Dec-31-25    Tabanus: 3. Get someone to work with the engine spew. Example: World Blitz Championship (2025). CG's sloppy standard of reporting makes it look as if Erigaisi won, a point ahead of Caruana, with Carlsen in 3rd place. Dec-31-25    Tabanus: I. e. something more substantial than just live coverage for amusement. <Or is Steve on holiday again?> Steve is working hard enough. To me it seems the holidays belong to others than him. Dec-31-25    stone free or die: <<Tab> CG's sloppy standard of reporting makes it look as if Erigaisi won, a point ahead of Caruana, with Carlsen in 3rd place.> <Missy> broke out the blitz KO finals stage: World Blitz KO Finals (2025) I would be afraid to suggest him/her constructing a leaderboard for fear of being called a GWH again! Really the title of the page you cited: World Blitz Championship (2025) So be <World Blitz Ch (Swiss stage) (2025)> or somesuch, to show it's the qualification phase of the tournament. . Dec-31-25    thegoodanarchist: Does anyone remember the link to the page that ranks users by the number of comments? Jan-01-26    WannaBe: <TGA> Home Page -> Scroll down right hand side (almost bottom) "Database Statistics" This is on regular web page, but should also be similiar position on Mobile Web View Jan-01-26    WannaBe: That is weird, I posted the answer to <TGA> at 7PM Pacific/10 PM Eastern, and now it shows as I posted Jan 1 2026(???????) Jan-01-26    Tabanus: Happy New Year <CG>! My wish for 2026 is the same as before, it is to hire a competent chess editor. If the New Events were handled properly, I think you'd be taken more seriously :) Jan-01-26    stone free or die: <<Tab> Happy New Year <CG>! My wish for 2026 is the same as before, it is to hire a competent chess editor. If the New Events were handled properly, I think you'd be taken more seriously :)> I think the only real place <CG> can outshine the competition is doing history right. But <Tab> makes a good suggestion(*), insofar as getting the new events done right would be an obvious attraction for causal viewers to become members. (And best New Year's wishes for <Tab>, <CG>, etc.) . Jan-01-26    stone free or die: (*) Though a tip of the hat to <Missy>, who I think is currently doing a fairly good job, though against the odds, of adding current events.

Jan-02-26    VerySeriousExpert: Happy New Year 2026! Best wishes! Jan-03-26    Fusilli: Suggestion: Can the Russian Championship Superfinal (2005), which he won, be added to the list of Sergei Rublevsky notable tournaments? Jan-03-26    offramp: I am sure that you'll get a page up for the famous Hastings Chess Congress. I know that it's difficult sort out all the sections and speed rates. I am watching it at the moment at https://lichess.org/broadcast/hasti... Jan-04-26    MissScarlett: Why do the moves of V Gunina vs Y Bukayev, 2025 not show? Jan-05-26    stone free or die: <Missy> It's insidious, delete the first "e" in "e4" and rewrite it with the correct "e". The misbehaved "e" is 0x435, which is "e" in Cyrillic. The Cyrillic "e" looks right when rendered, but the PGN viewers barf [barf being a term of art]. . Jan-05-26    MissScarlett: And all the other ones? Jan-05-26    VerySeriousExpert: Now the moves are shown, it's nice, thank you! But the game isn't visible here, unfortunately: Opening Explorer . Jan-05-26    MissScarlett: The OE automatically updates every day or two, I think. Jan-05-26    stone free or die: <MissScarlett: And all the other ones?> Well, you didn't say "Thank you" for those either! Jan-06-26    offramp: Thank you. Jan-06-26    stone free or die: You quite welcome <off>. Clearly your mother raised you right!
