ARCHIVED POSTS < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 1012 OF 1118 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jul-21-17    chessgames.com: <optimal play> I need to revisit that situation and remind myself why a few of them are out of synch. It has to do something with a datafile defining the FEN, and a file from a different source describing the moves themselves. Jul-22-17    AylerKupp: <chessgames.com> Any plans to hold another Chess Challenge or World Team game any time soon? Jul-22-17    zanzibar: Andrew Paulson (previously of Agon) has died: http://www.fide.com/component/conte... I don't think he has a player page, so mention here instead. Jul-23-17    FSR: <chessgames.com> I sent you an e-mail on July 16. Jul-23-17    chessgames.com: <FSR> Yes and I immediately replied and within a few days I rectified the matter. Are you not getting my emails? Please check your junk folder, or something. Jul-23-17    chessgames.com: <AylerKupp> Please see chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #27591) and associated discussion. Jul-23-17    FSR: <chessgames.com> Found it in my spam folder, and used the coupon code. Thanks! Jul-25-17    akiba82: What are the opening and closing dates of the 2017 British chess championship and which of the British grandmasters are expected to participate this year? Jul-25-17    thegoodanarchist: Do you have a history of who got banned and why? It would be fun reading! Premium members only, of course :) Jul-25-17    Keyser Soze: You can start with this: Game Collection: Apocalypse now - Chess, Controversy and charges have fun! :p Jul-25-17    chessgames.com: <akiba82> We're trying to gather that information ourselves. I think it will be 28th July-6th August. http://www.britishchesschampionship.... We'll put it on the new games section of the homepage when we're more sure. <Do you have a history of who got banned and why?> That's usually regarded as confidential, although often it's obvious what transpired. Great collection, <Keyzer>. Jul-25-17    chessgames.com: According to http://www.britishchesschampionship... the top seeds will be David Howell, Gawain Jones, and Luke McShane. Jul-26-17    zanzibar: <chessgames> just curious - but if someone puts you on ignore does that mean you can't see their collections? ... Jul-26-17    zanzibar: Also, <chessgames>, can you add a couple of buttons to the kibitzing page of a game (or tournament)? Specifically, both the standard < |<< ...(and)... >>| > buttons - i.e. Goto 1st Page, Goto last Page. Much be useful, and should be pretty easy to implement. .

Looking foward to the tournament page. I hope when the tournament begins you guys will broadcast a few of the games live. :) Jul-27-17    cro777: To follow actual trends. <chessgames.com: We want to do a different kind of Team-vs-Team, perhaps a Chess960.> "There are serious plans to organize a Chess960 World Championship in Norway next year!" (Tarjei J. Svensen, a Norwegian chess journalist) Jul-28-17    Tabanus: <CG> Still hoping for NOR Ch 2017. There is now also ongoing Xtracon Chess Open (formerly known as Politiken Cup): http://www.xtraconchessopen.dk/inde... + http://chess-results.com/tnr293258.... Jul-28-17    chessgames.com: <Tab> Which Norway Chess? Is there another one other than Altibox Norway (2017)? Thanks for the Xtracon info, checking it out now. Jul-28-17    chessgames.com: Xtracon Chess Open (2017) is online, but their PGN lists every single opening as A00. For a moment I thought it was a thematic event! No worries, we have software precisely for this purpose. Jul-28-17    Tabanus: CeeGee, not Altibox Norway (2017) but the Norwegian championship, games at bottom of http://tournamentservice.com/standi.... I think you can read the pgn now! Jul-29-17    chessgames.com: Oh the Norwegian championship, yes we can use that PGN but we have to strip some of the non-latin characters out first. Jul-29-17    Tabanus: CG, three of the 24 names have non-latin characters. I'll try to send a revised pgn later! Hoping not to be charged with treason. Jul-29-17    Tabanus: <CG> Never mind, it's not that important to me. Round 8 is a totally unreadable mess. The games can be retrieved perhaps where they were sent live, at Chessbase (where they apparently all are annotated, and there's some other weird stuff), Chessbomb (though I found no pgn link) and Chess24.
