 | | chessgames.com: < make the <Earlier Kibitzing> and <Later Kibitzing> links take us to the *top of the kibitzing area* of the previous/next page.> Brilliant! Sorry YouRang. You may end up like Alexander Cartwright here (the guy who really invented baseball but gets no credit for it!) |

| | chessgames.com: <Benzol: BTW is the link problem something that has to be fixed on a case by case basis? I was just looking at Winston Yao to see if the problem was something that could be fixed in a blanket fashion. Sorry to be a nuisance about this.> No no no, this is not a manual effort (beyond the typing in of FIDE numbers.) Winston is in the same boat as Richard. Regard it as a very temporary glitch. The hard part is over; now we've gotten down to questions of presentation. |

You are welcome to implement this and other brilliant suggestions I've made, and assign credit as you please. But if I ever decide to change my avatar, perhaps I'll use a pic of Cartwright. :-) |

 | | Stonehenge: <CG> I entered Darwin Yang 's FIDE number three days ago, but I still don't see the link. And I just entered the FIDE numbers for Juan Ramon Rodriguez Fernandez and Evaristo Fernandez Rodriguez but I don't see the links. Is that because the names on the cards are slightly different from their names here? |

| | chessgames.com: <make the <Earlier Kibitzing> and <Later Kibitzing> links take us to the *top of the kibitzing area* of the previous/next page.> Does it work? On the face of it everything seems fine; we're testing "Jump to page #" and the "favorites-mode: ON" type settings to see if there are unintended consequences, but so far it seems to work great. |

| | chessgames.com: Thanks <MORPHYEUS> By the way, we've made a decision regarding the phrasing and location of the FIDE player cards. We're going to call them "FIDE player cards" and the links will be down by the Google link and nowhere else. (Temporarily you might be seeing two links on some players. That should cause less consternation than temporarily seeing zero links on some players.) But the real exciting things with the FIDE IDs are going on behind the scenes. For instance, most sanctioned FIDE events these days are in the habit of including "WhiteFideID" and "BlackFideID" in the PGN. In the past, without those IDs in our database, we've been forced to ignore those ID numbers. No longer! Now, if a FIDE number is in the PGN we have a fingerprint on the player in question, without any reason to worry about transliteration issues etc. You'll even be able to use these tags on files you submit to our PGN Upload Utility. One small request: if you use these tags, please get them right! |

In case you're interested, the 16th Voronezh International Chess Festival 2012 is winding up and has the usual fun run field of several dozen Russian, Ukrainian and Belarussian GMs: http://translate.google.com.au/tran... Also the Pula Open in Croatia is being held. The PGNs are available for this and the previous opens. It also has a reasonably impressive battery of GMs and IMs contesting the event: http://translate.google.com.au/tran... |

 | | WannaBe: I think the #kibitzing tag needs to be moved further down in the code of the page. I am getting 3/4 page of the past kibitz'n (forum) list, and the bottom 1/4 of my web page is displaying forums banner. Then I have to scroll down a bit to see the actual kibit'n. (Using IE 9) |
|

| | chessgames.com: You know, on your Menu Configuration Page you can enable a link that says "Kibitzing" that takes you down to the #kibitzing tag. (More formally called an "anchor".) There's a well known bug among browsers that occurs when the browser cannot scroll to the proper anchor point simply because there isn't enough "stuff" at the bottom of the page, below the anchor, to allow for that. Some HTML authors "solve" this bug by putting a huge chunk of white-space at the end of each page. I doubt however that's the problem any of you are witnessing, as CG has no shortage of "stuff at the bottom" to prevent that kind of bug. |

| Jun-21-12 | | Blunderdome: How many player pages are there on CG? I don't think I've seen that figure anywhere. |
|
Jun-21-12
| | chessgames.com: Almost 70,000--but surely there are some duplicates in there. |
|
| Jun-21-12 | | I play the Fred: Just as the <Fischer-Karpov> match has its own page, so should the <Kasparov-Shirov> match. |
|
| Jun-21-12 | | Blunderdome: I don't think there's any need for a page when no games were played. The reason Fischer - Karpov is an exception is that the title changed hands. |
|
| Jun-21-12 | | MORPHYEUS: Dear Chessgames, congratulations for running a great site. Would like to know when are you planning to offer Premium membership on a monthly basis like the other chess sites? Some people have special needs, like me, i can only use about half of the 12 months membership. |

(Using IE 9)> Same here.
However, if I click on the <chessforum↓> link at the top of a chessforum page, it jumps to the right place. I would have thought that the <Earlier Kibitzing> and <Later Kibtizing> would go to the same anchor? |
|
Jun-22-12
| | YouRang: Hmmm, I see that it does go to the same anchor -- that is, a URL that specifies a page number and the "#kibitzing" appendage. It's just that when I enter such a URL, it goes to the right place if I'm already on the page I want to visit. That is, where the "chessforum" banner (just above the "Earlier Kibitzing" link) is at the *top* of the screen. However, if I enter a URL with a different page number than the one I'm on (and #kibitzing), it takes me to the page such that the "chessforum" banner is at the *bottom* of the screen -- meaning that I have to scroll down to see the kibizting. |

| | chessgames.com: <YouRang / Thanh Phan> I have a hunch you're both witnessing the same problem, which unfortunately we haven't been able to reproduce here. Do you both use MSIE 9? <I play the Fred: Just as the <Fischer-Karpov> match has its own page, so should the <Kasparov-Shirov> match.> We tend to agree with <Blunderdome> on this one: as a rule, tournaments should have games, otherwise where will it end? Lasker was involved in negotiations for a dozen matches all of which fell through--surely you don't suggest we make pages for each one of those as well. I don't want to say we'll *never* have a Kasparov-Shirov page, and it's not an awful idea, but for right now there are much bigger priorities. |

FWIW, I tried using Opera, where it worked okay. Microsoft isn't famous for being a team player. |

| | Annie K.: Opera rulez! :)
<YouRang: <kibitzing appendage>> And to think it used to be called "a finger"... oh, the implications! :s ;p |

| | YouRang: <Annie K.: <YouRang: <kibitzing appendage>> And to think it used to be called "a finger"... oh, the implications! :s> So true. However, if you consider the implications of specifying a URL address that gives "the finger", you might see why <kibitzing appendage> is preferred. ;-) |
