  fredthebear: I like your puzzles and poems WTH!

Premium Chessgames Member
  WTHarvey: Thank FTB but the poems are ChatGPT's. It's limericks have gotten much better. How about these chess tactics haiku?

Sneaky knight's attack
Double threat, fork in the road
Checkmate is in sight

A skewer in chess,
Piercing through two pieces deep,
A victory's sweep.

Pieces multi-task
Overloaded, can't keep up
Checkmate, game over

Queen takes knight in sight,
Unexpected move in flight,
Zwischenzug takes might.

Thought provoking to say the least. :-) I tried 'Boden's Mate' or 'Cozio's Mate' but it didn't seem to get the idea what pieces were involved.

  perfidious: <WTHarvey>, I submitted a game you posted at a player page yesterday.

In the last few months, I have sent on hundreds of such games, a process which was once a headache but which is now no problem, as there is a fellow admin who is very good about getting them into the system.

One need only go to the home page and click the link on the banner to the right called 'PGN Upload Utility ', which takes the user to a page with detailed instructions.

If you propose to send on multiple games, contrary to the injunction against that action on the page, it is now permitted, and is actually easier than to send on all single games; I routinely send on batches of ten or so games in one go.

Hope this helps.

  Stonehenge: You are trying to submit games that are already in the database:

A Khasin vs R Nezhmetdinov, 1957

A Geller vs A Cherepkov, 1955.

Also the <[Date "1957/??/??"]> format won't work, it should be <[Date "1957.??.??"]>.

I sneaked in another submission of yours:

Keres vs NN, 1960.

You had:

<[Event "Simultan"]
[Site "Habana (Cuba)"]
[Date "1960/??/??"]
[Round ""]
[White "Keres Paul (EST)"]
[Black "Gonzalez Zamora Juan Carlo (MEX)"]
[Result "1-0"]
[Eco "E46"]
[Annotator ""]
[Source "ChessAssistant21"]

  Stonehenge: Is it possible to use 365chess.com instead of the horrible Chess Assistant 21?

I'm not too happy with vague stuff like <[Event "It"]> or <[Event "Ch France"]> when it could be something like <FRA-chT2A 0506>.

Premium Chessgames Member
  Stonehenge: Also, since Chess Assistant doesn't use commas between surnames and given names, it creates a lot of duplicate player files.

  Stonehenge: Thanks. They don't have everything, but ChessBites is another free option.

Premium Chessgames Member
  Stonehenge: For the more recent tournaments, say the last 20 years or so, I prefer 365 because ChessBites doesn't use full dates.
Oct-16-24  stone free or die: <<the real stone> For the more recent tournaments, say the last 20 years or so, I prefer 365 because ChessBites doesn't use full dates.>

Interesting update.

  Stonehenge: Next thingy:

<[Source "chessbites.com" date by Chess Assistant 21]> is wrong. Quotation marks only at the beginning and at the end please:

<[Source "chessbites.com date by Chess Assistant 21"]> is right.

It seems nitpicking but otherwise it won't process properly.

Feb-01-25  YoungEd: Thanks for all your puzzles, <WTHarvey!> They're appreciated.

  WTHarvey: The Chessboard Paradox

A knight stood unmoved, quite aloof,
While logic cried, “Jump to the roof!”
But stillness, not flight,
Was the brilliant insight—
The threat was more potent than proof.
