 | | jnpope: Does have have conclusive proof? We've had Lucien on the suspects list since May. And if his source is us then we still need to nail this down to be certain. |

| | jnpope: Edochess didn't add Lucien until after October:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...I'm guessing Dominique picked up on Lucien from what we've uncovered here and ran with it... I'm still not 100% convinced yet (but I'd definitely bet money that it was Lucien). |
|

| | jnpope: I'm now 99.999% certain this is indeed Lucien:

 | | MissScarlett: Who or what is <Dominique Thimognier>? |
|
May-16-20
| | jnpope: Dom was a user here... he runs those French player pages at heritageechecsfra.free.fr. |
|
May-16-20
| | MissScarlett: That type of link don't fly, as I'm sure has been pointed out before. Like this: Biographer Bistro (kibitz #20785) |

| | jnpope: Dang. I thought I did it right... not sure why they need special links for things... just read the session cookie and manage whatever it is that needs to done behind the scenes server side. So links with the FBIO in them are the good links and the others only work if people have the same ignore list. Not sure why anyone would code a site that way... but ok. |

| | MissScarlett: A bad workman always blame his tools. Get on with it! |
|
May-16-20
| | jnpope: Do the player links work or do I need some other type of link to make those work too? Hell, do any links work when you copy and paste from the browser URL bar? It's sites designed like this that irk me something fierce. |
|
May-16-20
| | MissScarlett: Player links are good; for post links, just right click the date and select <Copy Link Location>. I'm assuming you're using something as civilised as a mouse. |
|

| | jnpope: I'm on my tablet or phone about 50% of the time. |

| | jnpope: Logged out and surfed around. Now I see what they did and why it was coded that way. Rookie solution to scalable pagination based on user preferences. They should change the dominate variable from page number to post id if it's in the url, then paginate backwards and forwards from the post id based on user preference for number of posts per page. Simple to implement... |
|
May-16-20
| | MissScarlett: It's your own fault for having so many on ignore. You've got half the best posters on the site on that list! |
|
May-16-20
| | jnpope: 2 pizzas, a case of Mt. Dew, and a solid 72 hours and I could fix a lot of stuff around here. Or I'm just getting seriously bored being under lock down. Nevermind, I'm not offering to work for free... if you can run with the search and pagination ideas go for it. I priced myself out of small site development decades ago. I'm just going to sit over here in corner and do more research. ;-) |

 | | OhioChessFan: The date by your kibitz is a direct link to that exact kibitz, no matter ignore lists. |
|

| | MissScarlett: Yeah, that's right..sit down before I knock you down...coming in here, causing trouble...WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING FIXES! |

 | | Tabanus: The Field, 6 June 1891, p. 857:
<The following game was played on Board No. 1 in the match between the British Chess Club and the Grand Cercle et Cercle des Echecs of Paris on May 19. (Ruy Lopez.) White. L. Didier (Paris). Black. H. W. Trenchard (London).> (game follows) |
|

| | jnpope: <Tabanus>: Awesome. Where were you 24 hours ago? You could have saved me the pain of searching through a ton of French periodicals (of course I wouldn't have found the Didier-Janowski game). |
|
May-18-20
| | jnpope: <Tabanus>, I submitted the Didier-Trenchard game you found. It looks like Didier also played in at least one other team match; he lost to Gwinner in 1890. I did a quick check of sources and couldn't find that game. |
|
May-19-20
| | Tabanus: <jnpope> Apart from 1890, the only other mention before 1900 I can find is that he (M. Didier) played a draw vs C. M. Simon in the Paris-London match 1893. |
|
May-19-20
| | jnpope: The earliest mention I have is <Le Monde Illustré>, 1886.04.10, p238, as one of the problem solvers. He is mentioned as a solver occasionally between 1886-1890. Now this brings up my older question: <And if it turns out to be Lucien then the follow up question... why do several periodicals give "E. Didier"?> Was the "E." just a typo at some point that was promulgated briefly by a few sources? Also, I suspect your prior research...
<2) Lucien Didier, born 19 (15?) Sep. (?) 1868 in Paris (Seine), lives 1891 in "R. de Paris 38" as an accountant ("comptable").> ...is probably our Didier. Do you think anything new has been added to the genealogical sources since 2013? |
|
May-19-20
| | Tabanus: Hmm apparently not in Anc...com. There is a site which seems promising but which I'm not paying for - it could be worth a try: https://en.geneanet.org/ |
|
May-22-20
| | MissScarlett: <I also have J. in one of my databases. M., J., L. and E.
Yeah, we're closing in.>
Lucien Didier (kibitz #14) <J Didier> appears in the player index of <Whyld (1998)>, having played Lasker at <Paris 1900>, of course. |
|
May-22-20
| | jnpope: I'm not sure where Whyld picked that up from, but I <strongly> suspect it was from me (and that occurrence has previously been mentioned as being a typo on my part Lucien Didier (kibitz #16)). So I'm confident that "J." can be dismissed outright as typographical fiction. |
|
May-22-20
| | MissScarlett: Funny I missed that. |
