There are now 8 World Champions who have lost their NOTABLE GAMES, NOTABLE TOURNAMENTS, and GAME COLLECTIONS, namely <Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Tal, Kramnik> (as of today)

That means, since last week-end (Tal is the latest victim), exactly half of the World Champions have no longer a cg. notable game and tournament collections.

<Morphy, Tarrasch, Bogoljubov, Flohr, Fine, Bronstein, Geller, Reshevsky, Gligoric, Ivkov, Panno, Olafsson, Uhlmann, Timman, Ivanchuk, Mamedyarov, Nakamura, or Wesley So>, are amongst many other prominent players missing the most notable games.

“Notable Games” and related items should be cleared up/restored very soon. This is one of the more sparsely-documented features, but we’ll be wrapping up the fix forthwith.

You’re correct that switching to full https is long overdue, and we have been assiduously planning for the transition. Our diligent research indicates that there should be no significant impact on server load, so we’re basically ready to go, and we expect to <take the plunge into serving 100% https within the next few days>.

It's been a major challenge over the last 12 months getting up to speed on 15+ years of Dan's tireless work—especially with many areas simply not documented adequately. For my part, <I sincerely apologize for any perceived personal or professional shortcomings>, but I can assure all members that there are many exciting improvements that are steadily reaching their full maturity.

In addition to this forum or the cafe, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to mention these issues on <my user forum>, which I’m now reviewing regularly.>

Ok.

<moronovich: And the midget has found another chair >

Talking about systematic antagonism - this guy <moronovich> has been obsessed with me for years .

I don't even know that he exists unless he comes on rogoff to call me midget - for years he has been using this personal attack for me "midget has found new chair " and such .

If you guys have search facility , you can check this out.

He hardly posts in rogoff forum. If you search his posts in rogoff forum , perhaps , majority of his posts would be attacking me "midget has found a new chair " and such.

Admins , should he not be suspended?

I would say That enough is enough.

  Thank you . Regards. 

I scooped you on this issue, by about 3 weeks:

At least you got a reply>

Hello, everyone. It turns out that there is an <undocumented feature> in the script which creates the "Notable [...]” blocks:

A significant number of matches had their <names changed by the Editors> in an effort to “normalize” their appearance in the WC Match list (see History of the World Chess Championship), and the text files which contain the computed “Notable” blocks—and thus the <old match titles>—caused a comparison mismatch with the <new match titles>, which resulted a fatal script error. The problem cleared up once the old WC Match names were brought into harmony with the new ones.

The current cadre of NCO’s in the <Army of Pun>—each holding the rank of <Punnery Sergeant>, and in order of seniority—is as follows:

<HeMateMe> (2019-07-04)
<OhioChessFan> (2019-07-15)
<sneaky pete> (2019-08-02)
<Lossmaster> (2019-08-03)
<LivBlockade> (2019-08-31)

According to the information I have available, the following Chessgames members now hold the above rank in the <Army of Pun>.

So on behalf of the entire staff, <we extend to everyone our most heartfelt thanks for their patience, perseverance, and positivity> during this most regrettable and unexpected phase for Chessagames.com.>

Just now seeing this post for the first time.

I am honored.

But I stand firm in my opinion (rendered at today's GOTD), that you and I (and everyone else) are not at the rank achieved by Master Sergeant Punners <Phony Benoni>, <OCF> and <FSR>.

So in spite of the fact <FSR> has been quite snarky to me on occasions, for the simple offense of asking a question, I am quite similar to President Lincoln in one way. I do not allow personal rancor to cloud my judgement of another person's ability.

<FSR> should have as high of a rank as <OCF> and <Phony Benoni>, in the discipline of punnery.

It was a sincere question on my part, but you replied in a rude way.

But no worries, apology accepted.

Success rate of new year resolutions has been bad , historically.

See , you throw insults for no reason - in other words you are an abusive troll.

However , when you become a racist abusive troll then you cross line.

You and <big pawn> threw racist insults all the time along the lines of - "1)all Indians are cow worshippers " . I told you that is false . Many Indians eat beef. Even those who are vegetarians, educated people among then mostly don't worship cows. But you guys don't care for truth - you care for abusive racist trolling.

"2)all Indians worship cow because they are stupid. <nisjesram> is Indian. Conclusion is that <nisjesram> is stupid "

You came back with a sock puppet and continued with your racist insults .

Here

<walter007: <Nisjesram: ... <big pawn> used to dominate this forum - he was king of this forum but then he got too ambitious/benevolent. ...> Nah, he got replaced by <Nizzle>, the cow whisperer of Radio India.>

Your other abusive trolling (including perverting my name ) is bad. But when you insist on being racist too then you cross line.

Is there any point of throwing personal insults that too false - even if they were true , there would not be any point.

Like I said - You are an abusive troll who throws insults without any reason - just for sport. And on top of that , when you throw racist insults too , then you cross line.

Boy, get lost.> >

I had told you <saragon> that racist trolling of people like <John barleycorn> and <big pawn> is not acceptable to me. And you had assured me that you would act against people who post racist stuff , if what I am saying is true.

I showed you. If you and I both agree that <Walter 007>/<John barleycorn> made racist comments , then you must take action. Till then I will take break from this site.
