| Jun-18-17 | | sonia91: <CG.com> No forums for World Team Championships (open and women's)? It's a FIDE event, there are several 2700 and 2500 respectively competing. Today they are already playing the second round. |

 | | casaschi: about your request for a PGN file to test your new viewer... it does not really address your request, but this file contains a collection of valid PGN games that should challenge any newly developed PGN parser: http://pgn4web.casaschi.net/test.pgn |

 | | FSR: The link to the GOTD, [bad chessgames.com link], does not work. Presumably it should be W M Popert vs NN, 1841. |

| Jun-20-17 | | thegoodanarchist: <Tabanus: But Richard Dawson has two common names in chess literature: Lord Cremorne and Earl of Dartrey. I'd like to call him Richard Dawson, but search on Cremorne or Dartrey won't find him then. If we call him Lord Cremorne, search on Dawson or Dartrey won't find him.> We shall call him Lord Creamcorn.
Glad that's settled now. |

| Jun-20-17 | | Chessgames Bookie: <WinKing> told me to remind you that when scoring the contest in the Rapid portion of this Grand Chess Tour(Paris) 2017 tournament there are 2pts.(weighted) awarded for a win. See tournament regulations below: <2017 GCT Tour Regulations<2. Scoring In the Classical Events the standings shall be determined by the allocation of: •1 point for a win, ½ point for a draw and 0 points for a loss in all games. ~~~~~~~
***In the Rapid & Blitz Events the standings shall be determined by the allocation of: <•2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss in a Rapid game;> and •1 point for a win, ½ point for a draw and 0 points for a loss in
a Blitz game> >
7 to 5 odds say <chessgames> still screws it up...just like last year. ;) |

| Jun-21-17 | | WinKing: Helloooo...anybody home? <offramp> was right I don't think any one down there ever looks at this site. |

You can see that with half an eye. |

| | Tabanus: I have a new game from 1885 to look at, if you're interested. |

 | | offramp: <WinKing: Helloooo...anybody home? <offramp> was right I don't think any one down there ever looks at this site.> Hey, WinKing! I'm gonna have a look down in the basement. Do you want to come with? I have a torch. |

| | chessgames.com: We're here, no need to panic.
<•2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss in a Rapid game;> We do have 3-1-0 scoring, but our software doesn't support that scoring style. Because it doesn't produce a leaderboard order different from traditional scoring, we never bothered to implement it. <Tab> Thorold-Lea? I'll process it in a minute and look. |
|
Jun-21-17
| | Tabanus: Thanks CG! I uploaded 4 games of Miss Thorold since she was once considered Lady Champion of England. Here's the compensation: Eliza Mary Thorold vs James Pollard Lea, 1885 |
|
| Jun-21-17 | | Boomie: <chessgames.com> The Grand Chess Tour Blitz link on the Search page says "Rapid". |

| Jun-22-17 | | WinKing: <offramp: Hey, WinKing! I'm gonna have a look down in the basement. Do you want to come with? I have a torch.> Ok you first <offramp>. I have heard rumors there is a creature called a Danimal that lurks in such places. ;) |

| | offramp: <Winking> It is completely dark down here. I can hear squeaks and rustlings. People are talking about openings. I gettin' outta here!! I'll meet you on some Petrosian page! |

| Jun-22-17 | | Big Pawn: <Chessgames>, it is a stupid idea to have ads that suddenly start blaring music. This happened twice today and has never happened before in the 12 years I've been here. I am a paying member. Isn't it the case that paying members aren't supposed to be seeing the ads? When did you change things such that paying members now have to see ads? It's bad enough to have to see the ads, but to have one start BLARING AUDIO out of nowhere is more than annoying. Friggen horrible. |
|
| Jun-22-17 | | Keyser Soze: Pawn, are you on PC? I solved that using adblock extension that works on Firefox , chrome and Opera.I'm not sure it is a chessgames fault anyway |
|
| Jun-22-17 | | Big Pawn: <Keyser>, I just installed Adblock Plus and it seems to be working. I have it on my other computer but forgot to add it to this one. Almost jumped out of my chair when the audio started BLARING! |

| | chessgames.com: <Big Pawn: <Chessgames>, it is a stupid idea to have ads that suddenly start blaring music.> It's a horrible idea! We never would have done that on purpose. One of two things is happening: (1) I have twiddled my settings on Google Adsense to allow for new obnoxious ads. I somehow doubt this because, to my knowledge, audio ads are not allowed by their policies. (2) You've contracted some malware which is giving you the worst kinds of ads. Fact is, I hate ads, they annoy me more on THIS site than others. I want them out of the way, easily ignorable, etc. But we have to pay the bills. <This happened twice today and has never happened before in the 12 years I've been here.
I am a paying member. Isn't it the case that paying members aren't supposed to be seeing the ads?> There is an option on your Preferences Page at the top of the list of options, called < Do not display sidebar advertisements. > Just click that and you won't see no ads, but they will be very rare. "In house" ads (ChessBookie!, a live game banner, etc.) are not affected. However, this will not stop 100% of the Chessgames ads (we try our best but some ads are difficult to flip on and off) — and moreover, this will not stop malware ads from appearing. Could you tell me where they appear and their nature? They aren't pop-up ads are they? Because if they are that positively proves the malware theory. |
|
| Jun-22-17 | | Big Pawn: <chessgames>, it was on the rogoff page, not a pop up. It was a horizontal banner ad that played some kind of loud carribean tune or something. I don't have malware. I installed adblock plus and it seems to have taken care of it. Thanks. |
