  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 :)

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.)

  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].

Thee games submitted by User: GrahamClayton passed upload but are not shown in the uploaded game list and the sources were stripped from them. I surmise it's because they contain irregular quotation marks: <“ ”> and not the prescribed <" ">. Is this the issue?

  Stonehenge: Australian Championship (1922)

Games have been there for a week or so now.

Graham is one of the good guys but his uploads are full of mistakes. Always has been like that.

If only he could be encouraged to run his PGN through <SCID> to screen it first it would save <CG> lots of headaches.

(<SCID> is fairly good at pinpointing where the PGN goes wrong - I used it for the Cyrillic heist not long ago)
