Great!

<Is there a way to play the Stockfish analysis moves?>

I assume by that, you mean to be able to actually see the moves it suggests instead of merely see them printed on the screen. Sadly the answer is no, but it is a logical extension that we are looking forward to with Olga 2.0.

<Also, can games from Chessbase be imported to the A.L. Am I correct in thinking that FEN and PGN could be imported from Chessbase?>

<1. Why not post your rebuttal on Urcan's player page?>

For one thing my rebuttal probably needs a little more polish. And like i said, ever since Urcan's original article has been effectively removed from the internet, the whole thing has lost relevance.

It's also a little hard to rebuke what I perceive as a smear piece which runs all over the place in a confused fashion. On one hand Mr. Urcan seems very familiar with our FAQ, as he cites it when it bolsters his argument, and yet many of his allegations would be clearly dismissed by anybody who read the whole of the FAQ. He makes it sound as if anybody who pays the $29 annual fee has the right to modify biographies, and probably believes that to this day.

And then there's the weird part called "Unholy Alliances" that would imply that Ray Keene and I go out golfing each Sunday plotting how to manipulate world chess, or something. I don't even know how to reply to things like that other than pointing out that Ray's never been given special privileges not given to other members with player pages. Like <FSR> or <acirce> for example.

One possible exception exists: There was one time some years back when somebody wanted to go to every game on the site in which a Keene plagiarism accusation existed, and post all the evidence. Of course their list was very extensive and would take a long time to do a thorough job. I put an end to that practice, not to protect Keene, but I just don't want Chessgames to be the battlefield upon which that war is fought.

Perhaps it's no coincidence that shortly after that affair, Urcan's piece was published. The whole Ray Keene smear might be the real impetus behind the article in the first place. His animosity for Keene runs so deep that he wants to discredit any site that even allows him as a member, much less a member with privileges. But that's just speculation. I've probably said too much already.

<2. Would it be fair use for me to quote and respond to each point Urcan made on his player page?>

I wouldn't be surprised if it was pulled at his own request, which speaks all them more for leaving it to history. Like I said, If you want to refute it after all these years I won't stop you, but it's worse than beating a dead horse. It's beating a GHOST horse.

Love to hear about it, chess@chessgames.com

If you wish to post a rebuttal I think the Bistro would be as good a place as any.

I think a reference to the archive given by <Bobby Fiske> should be sufficient.

Is there any chance the TCEC computer games can be added - you can download PGN from here I think:

As <OCF> noted, and I have experienced a couple of times, posts to a user's forum are subject to removal at said user's discretion.

Nothing wrong with that, unless one wishes to see potentially constructive (or otherwise innocuous) posts deleted for seemingly arbitrary reasons.

On the other hand, the Chinese Team Championships (2017) (why plural btw) really belongs to the Chinese Chess League (2017), and should be merged with this (under the latter name).
