 | | MissScarlett: <Aronian and Niemann will almost certainly qualify to the World Cup via rating even if they don't via a tournament placing.> Failing that, I like to think FIDE would grant Hans a wildcard on the grounds that he's i) wild and ii) a card. |

| Oct-25-24 | | Teyss: <Missy> That's your best one since "Perpetual cheque". Wait. Two good jokes the same year. Something must be wrong. |

 | | Atterdag: LOL to the posts from both of you. |

| Oct-25-24 | | schweigzwang: <Wait. Two good jokes the same year. Something must be wrong.> Something wrong, or something ... <interesting>? |

 | | FSR: Awonder Liang had an odd tournament. All five of his decisive games were won by Black! He had three of the wins, and his opponents two. |
|

| | FSR: So drew all his games, à la Bisguier in the United States Championship (1975). But wait! He beat Yoo in Round 2, but unfortunately his win was annulled after Yoo was expelled. So vs C Yoo, 2024. |

 | | Sally Simpson: Calm down Tabanus, this is my first day as a games editor. I think I've done something wrong. Is there an undelete what you have deleted by mistake button? |
|
Nov-01-24
| | Sally Simpson: I see what I have done.
I was trying delete all those stupid chess960 games because this is not a Database for stupid variants of the game and I've wiped out a load of genuine chess games instead. (I've also managed, somehow, to place the Tarrasch v Lasker 1908 games in with Fischer v Spassky, Reykjavik 1972! I'm hoping nobody will notice.) |
|
| Nov-01-24 | | stone free or die: <Calm down Tabanus, ...> Hmm, was <tab> overreacting, or was there some cause for alarm? <I was trying delete all those stupid chess960 games because this is not a Database for stupid variants of the game and I've wiped out a load of genuine chess games instead.> We'll let the reader decide.
<... this is my first day as a games editor.> If I can be a tad facetious, we're off to a cracking start. * * * * *
If <CG> has the proper rollback tools this should be fixed by lunch. Let's see. |

 | | Retireborn: Oh, Geoff. Geoffy Geoff Geoff.
Has you have been playing the Scotch Opening again? (laughs heartily) I'm sure these games can be easily recovered from somewhere. I don't even know what chess960 is. It sounds nasty! |
|
| Nov-01-24 | | Granny O Doul: I admit, there were moments when I doubted that C Yoo would win the title. |
|
| Nov-02-24 | | stone free or die: Funny (and accurate, given those 5 games). |
|

| | Sally Simpson: Sigh...
I'm never going to get hang of this games editor lark. I'm following the instructions the best I can but who ever wrote them has a degree in gobbledygook. Apparently I've deleted all of Alekhine's games and sent them to a communication satellite orbiting earth. BBC News at 10 are reporting people are receiving chess moves instead of text messages and... A police car has just pulled up outside my house. |
|
| Nov-02-24 | | Bobby Fiske: LOL - funny! |
|
Nov-02-24
| | MissScarlett: I think what <Tab> is getting at is questioning whether this tid should have an elevated collection status (with clickable link), that might cause confusion with the tournament collection proper. If I withdraw that status, all the kibitzing here will disappear, which may be no bad thing. An alternative solution would be to amend the collection name, e.g. <United States Championship (void rage)>. |
|
Nov-02-24
| | Tabanus: Standard procedure would be to merge the two (with losing the kibbitzes here) and make it into something like Stockholm (1963/64). Playoffs can be on a separate page but not cancelled games of an event. |
|
| Nov-02-24 | | fabelhaft: <I admit, there were moments when I doubted that C Yoo would win the title> And with a -2 score! |
|

 | | perfidious: Yaas, booking the title while finishing minus would have been truly impressive. |

| | Sally Simpson: <"Chessgames.com will be unavailable November 2, 2024 from 1:50PM through 2:00PM(UTC/GMT) for maintenance.
We apologize for this inconvenience."> They are blaming me for this. For 'maintenance' read hasty and expensive repairs. And it will take them longer than 10 minutes. In the strongly worded FULL CAPS email I received this morning my term as a Games Editor have been terminated. Can I do Bio's instead? |
|
| Nov-02-24 | | stone free or die: <In the strongly worded FULL CAPS email I received this morning my term as a Games Editor have been terminated.> With <Sally> you never know what to take seriously. Oh wait - I know, I know! None of it! |
|
Nov-02-24
| | Sally Simpson: <With Sally you never know what to take seriously.> When discussing an actual game, serious or semi-serious. Other than that... |
