long time no see and you are welcome here at any time, particularly when you are drunk on tequila.

<Tim> you know what, if you posted that bit of "right click source juju" on the admin page right under my request on the admin page, they might just fix this for us eh?

They are "hard wired" to help when confronted with a code problem.

I think Daniel might be a computer programmer by trade, but I'm not sure.

Leave out the phrase "HTML amateurs" though.

Really we are in this for the long haul and in this particular case- we would greatly benefit from being able to make italics with regular size font on our mirror games collections.

Without the italics it's not so easy to spot the "text to be edited" in a sea of logged edits, but the tiny font italics are not going to fly.

If you join me on the admin page in "running your idea up the flagpole to see if the money salutes," we might get the result we're looking for.

"Ganging up on the admins" has proven fruitful in the past.

Nothing to lose by trying.

<Born in Prague, Wilhelm Steinitz was regarded the best player in the world>

Regarded <as>

Game Collection: WCC: Steinitz-Chigorin 1889

Wilhelm Steinitz was one of the first truly original thinkers in chess. What Steinitz gave to chess could be compared to what Newton gave to physics: he made it a science.>

This cries for a footnote to one of Lasker’s quotes about Steinitz.

<for the slow addition of many small advantages.>

Greatly prefer “accumulation” to “addition”.

Game Collection: WCC: Steinitz-Chigorin Return Match 1892

<Rather than sealing his move, he made it on the board, and in so doing, unprotected his h-pawn>

I slightly prefer “left his h-pawn undefended” or “left his h-pawn unprotected”. I’m not convinced unprotected is a verb, even in a colloquial sense. I am not strong on this one but bring it to everyone’s attention for consideration.

<And so, after 23 games Steinitz won his fourth World Championship match,>

<In 1894, defending champion Wilhelm Steinitz was challenged by a fresh 25 year old talent from Prussia by the name of Emanuel Lasker.>

Fresh? Meh. Maybe "exciting" or "aggressive" or.......anything else.

<However, Lasker then won the last two in New York and added three more consecutive victories in the second leg in Philadelphia.>

Looks well in order.

I will tackle them, and any others you put in, tomorrow.

I'm wondering if <Born in Prague> is even necessary for our young <Steinitz>?

Isn't that a detail better suited to a player page bio?

<and they agreed to meet in Moscow in November of 1896. Steinitz and Lasker, 1896 However, before that match could take place, there was one more very strong tournament to get through>

<From January 26 to April 8, 1907 the match took place. >

I’d prefer “The match took place from January 26 to April 8, 1907.”

< Even in his autobiography Marshall>

Could use a comma after “autobiography".

< Marshall does not mention this match except for a short sentence: "Tedious play aimed at wearing down my opponent is averse to my nature."1>

<Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch, after several major tournament successes in the 1890s, was widely considered the most likely successor to Steinitz.>

I slightly prefer starting with “After several major tournament successes in the 1890s, Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch…”

<Lasker accepted, but was convinced that Tarrasch had hypnotic powers and therefore suggested to play the match from a different room.>

Although you can see the HTML using View Source, you can't edit it. You need to edit the source file on the server. Ideally you would use a helper program like Visual Studio but you can go native with Notepad if nothing else is available.

<The crown jewel of chess, the title of World Chess Champion, was about to be rebuilt.>

I looked a little closer at the HTML and found numerous font changes. The font size for the tiny town section is set at -1 or -2, which is pretty weird. Does that mean the text appears in a parallel universe?

I don't understand how these pages are being edited. I assumed that you or a privileged few could edit them. Explain to me how you edit the pages.

<The crown jewel of chess, the title of World Chess Champion, was about to be rebuilt.>

...about to be determined for the first time by a Candidate's Tournament?

...about to be up for grabs?

Isn't there some better source than Wiki? There must be.

Botvinnik-Smyslov World Championship Match (1954)

< All the games were full of fight, and many of the games were of theoretical significance.1 >

All but the final game, maybe. Smyslov's draw offer is inexplicable to me. And I think some mention of the controversy is in order.

<Vasily Smyslov again emerged victorious +6 -1 =11, >

<Stahlberg informed him that he had forfeited in time.>

<WCC Editing Project: I did it! I told that little red haired girl you are madly in love with her.>

To make normal sized italics, you just do this:

[[I like Ike]]

It's a bloody miracle!

Aha yes, since it's already stated that <Lasker> was 25 years old, "fresh" is redundant, as well as reminiscent of <The Fresh Prince of Belair>

<The crown jewel of chess, the title of World Chess Champion, was about to be rebuilt.>

"rebuilt" is not adequate to the task, and what's more it is the wrong word altogether.

What needs to be made clear is that for the first time FIDE would be in charge of this and all future World Champions. This *and* the fact that the Championship would be decided by a candidates tournament needs to be made clear in the paragraph.

<<1 David Bronstein Wikipedia entry >

Stellar work as usual, thank you kindly.

I logged your two suggestions that we haven't agreed on a solution for yet, notably the "rebuilt" WCC Game Collection: WCC: FIDE WCC Tournament 1948, and your note on the "drawn last game controversy here"- Game Collection: WCC: Botvinnik-Smyslov 1954

I enacted all your other edits directly except this one, which I disagree with- I think this is best left as it is:

<<Vasily Smyslov again emerged victorious +6 -1 =11, >

"with" or "at" after "victorious".>

I did, <HOWEVER>, log it as an EDIT suggestion.
