< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 429 OF 435 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-15-25    OhioChessFan: Same Opening of the Day..... Apr-15-25    Susan Freeman: Fixed. Apr-20-25    offramp: On today's home page: Short vs J Polgar, 1993 Robert Byrne Opening Explorer (Bird's 1.f4). To the tune of ‧₊˚♪ 𝄞₊˚⊹Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves⋆˚࿔♫⋆˚࿔📀♡⋆.˚ <"Bird's Byrnes & Polgars">. Apr-21-25    Total Jim: it seems that the Opening Explorer is having a problem ... when seen from the White side of the board, the opening position shows that the database contains 1,818,479 games ... but ... when flipped to the Black side of the board, the opening position indicates a database content of 1,799,077 games ... I'm pretty sure that both values should be the same ... also ... the statistics for the available moves are slightly skewed between the White and the Black viewpoints ... I'm not sure how all of this works behind the scenes, but I'm guessing that a recent update failed to properly run the mysterious "script" that is supposed to bring everything truly up to date ... best regards ... Apr-21-25    Gottschalk: <jnpope> I'm sending the 2024 Spanish Absolute Chess Championship games once again. I hope that now the pgn would be totally satisfactory. Apr-24-25    stone free or die: Can we reconsider the color scheme for <CG> quotes within quotes? <outside <quote within quote> outside> The idea should be to make the color levels stand out from each other. The brown/reddish-brown colors are almost the same to my eye. Didn't it use to be different? I think so, I remember a brown/blue scheme from long ago. Apr-24-25    stone free or die: (My memory appears faulty, checking Wayback I see the current scheme may have always been the way it was... I still think the color contrast could be improved) Apr-25-25    MissScarlett: < I hope that now the pgn would be totally satisfactory.> <[Event "London CC"] [Site "London"] [Date "1853.??.??"] [Round ""] [White "Grimshaw,Walter"] [Black "Watkinson,John"] [Result "1-0"] [ECO"C24"] [PlyCount "43"]> Not this. What source? I rather doubt the year 1853, as well. Apr-25-25    stone free or die: I think a <[Source_note]> might be needed too, let's probe a bit... <Missy>, why are you doubtful of the year (1853)? . Apr-25-25    MissScarlett: Just seems too early based on their ages. Apr-26-25    stone free or die: <Missy> the game was published in 1853, so that's the latest date it could come from. Apr-26-25    MissScarlett: Needless to say, I need the source. Apr-26-25    stone free or die: <<Missy> Needless to say, I need the source.> We all need the source, but usually that's the job of the submitter. Nevertheless, to alleviate your distress: https://books.google.com/books?id=t... Apr-26-25    offramp: Any chance of any live game from <Superbet Rapid and Blitz 2025> in Warsaw? No chance? Fair enough. Apr-26-25    MissScarlett: Where's the mention of London? Apr-26-25    stone free or die: <MissScarlett: Where's the mention of London?> Give the gal/uy an inch and s/he wants a mile. (I didn't submit the game after all) Apr-28-25    FSR: I submitted a game Ingersol-Walton a few minutes ago. This tag should be added to the PGN: [Source "https://www.iccf.com/game?id=1530065"] Thanks. Apr-29-25    Check It Out: CG, not sure if you are aware: on my PC the pun of the day looks weird on the main page: Götterdämmerung But then looks fine on the actual game page. But, on my cell phone, the problem is reversed! Looks good on the main page, but weird on the game page. Some sort of code problem? Apr-30-25    sbevan: <Susan Freeman: Daniel offered a lifetime membership for $365 for 85 years. If I remember correctly.> Not trying to be pedantic Susan but it was USD 350 for a lifetime membersip and that was in 2011. "$350 in 2011 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $497.60 today" https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/in... So IMHO a fee of USD385 in 2025 is one heck of deal! Dearest reader I strongly recommend you take advantage of this offer. May-03-25    juan31: <CG> the login page Is out of order, can't use It with the iPad. Thank you May-03-25    juan31: PD. Appears white May-04-25    juan31: <CG> the sign-in page using iPad doesn't work, It stays blank Thanks May-05-25    juan31: < CG> excuse the insistence, the sign-in page using iPad doesn't work, It stays blank Thanks May-06-25    stone free or die: I really shouldn't have to say this, but I hope <juan31> gets an acknowledgment that his post was seen from some site admin/owner/programmer. Let's say within the week? May-06-25    MissScarlett: <Daniel offered a lifetime membership for $365 for 85 years.> For $4 a year, what do you expect?
