<The tournament director Luis Rentero Suarez was later accused of having the video removed from the public. There are some letters and pictures in Ocho x Ocho 146 (pp. 28, 32-33). >

I am guessing the second sentence needs a couple clarifying words, eg, "There are some letters and pictures addressing the matter in Ocho x Ocho 146". Or it might mean something else. But as is, it needs work.

<Chaim Janowski> was Dawid's brother - see C.N. 6439

& <Leon Janowski> was Chaim Janowski 's son. From 1912 Leon lived in Charlottenburg (near Berlin) and went (with his father) mid-20s to Japan, were he became a professor of the Tokyo conservatoire.

"Is it possible the name of the site could be changed to <chesspeople.com>? The rationale being twofold: i) it would reasonably justify the omission of computer vs computer games...."

Yes! Yes! Yes!

We do not need to 'reasonably justify " that omission or change the name. Just do it.

Or cobble them all together in one bland thread called the 'Watching Paint Dry' section for people who have lost the will to live.

Though I have to admit I do chuckle when I see computer analysis being posted on a computer v computer game. What role does the human actually play in that act. A servient?

<Annie K>, <Steamed Colleagues>

These three pgns were rejected by the <upload utility> for "notation errors," which Annie was kind enough to let me know.

I have just slowly played them all through my <Shredder III> chess engine and I cannot find the errors? Is there some notation rule that I am missing, and that my engine is missing also? My engine is ancient. So am I.

I was going say drop the links. Also sometimes castles zero-zero is displayed as Capital O - Capital O.

Most PGN viewers I use do not mind this and change it but the online viewer at RHP does like (or use to dislike ) capital O and refuse it.

<Gentlemen> thank you!

When I initially submitted them, I deleted the weblinks before sending them from the PGN upload utility.

So all three went in <without> web links.

Also, every game I have successfully uploaded to our database uses the numerical 0-0 and there has never been a problem with that.

By "notation errors" I presume <Annie K> meant errors in the actual game score.

Possibly having something to do with a convention for noting rook moves, a convention which my old engine ignores?

For example, in this score:

From this position, White to move- 24.?

The score I submitted had <24.Rcxc4>, so I changed it to <24.R3xc4>, thinking that might be the preferred convention?

But when I did this and then played the revised move notation through my <Shredder>, the engine automatically changed <24.R3xc4> back to <24.Rcxc4>. It "understood" my change but ignored it, still listing a correct move:

After 24.Rcxc4 AND 24.R3xc4 same result:

lol that is top shelf.

Possibly in this scheme there could be a gateway portal on logging in with two choices:
