You're now at 4 consecutive posts of <thank you for saying that>, <respect for saying that> and <regards>, so kindly apply the procedure to you.> Truer words were never spoken.
You seem to be the sanest voice here ...
After <chesshighercat> of course. Thank you for retaining sanity in insane circus. Thank you for that....
Respect to you , sir.

| Aug-19-18 | | Nisjesram: <big pawn> is filled with hate. Let me know, If anybody disagrees - except <chesshighercat> ...his disagreement does not count because his theory is that <big pawn> is not a real person. A theory i have immense respect for , nonetheless as long as you think this theory is more than 90 % probable, your disagreement does not count. 2)there is nothing wrong in praying to mary. <big pawn> is wrong in saying that it is a sin to pray to mary and all catholics are sinners and catholics not true christians. 3)well, never mind trivial issue...real important point :
I defeated <big pawn> thoroughly in omv debate.... Apparently , <thefocus>, <johnbarleycorn> and <sugardom> have accepted that i thoroughly defeated <big pawn> in omv debate... If anyone wants more details/facts about this, let me know please. Thank you

| Aug-19-18 | | Nisjesram: <big pawn<<ChessHomoCat: The few sane posters have now been successfully browbeaten into apologizing for trying to save the site by getting the creep banned or to at least stay in his Rogoff cage.> Banning me would be like kicking the Fonz off of Happy Days. Nobody feels bad for you>
What the hell you talking about <big pawn>? Why should anybody feel bad for <chesshighercat>? He deserves respect.
And you must be banned, i think - not permanently , but just to make you behave....you have too much hate... Look at your posts...why you calling <chc> <cheeshomocat> and <chesshighercuck>.... Shame on you <big pawn>. You are worse than teen age punks. Please behave .
Thank you

| Aug-20-18 | | zanzibar: Dear <Sargon>, (My recommendations, solely...)
Upon fully reflexion, I don't believe the <Live Game> should be top priority. It should be getting regular updates of ongoing tournaments. Turn the <Live Game> feature off, and return to it after getting the following up and running: 1) Create a <Sinquefield (2018)> tournament page. (You don't really need to do more, editors can fill it in with details) 2) Put notice of same on <New Games> section of <CG> front-page. 3) At least once per day, after all game play for Round is completed, upload the tournament games onto <CG> (*). More frequent updates can be done, e.g. as games finish during the day, but the minimum work is to synch up at day's end, round-by-round. (I don't know how <Daniel> did it, technically, but the games should be connected to the tournament page) (*) You could easily ask a <CG> member to email you the PGN for the games each day. A member in the know could also embed the <CG> player and tournament id codes into the PGN to make the uploading really easy. * * * * * *
I believe most <CG> members will be happy to have this much done. It will reflect that some forward progress is being done, and allow commentary on both the tournament and all of its games. It won't allow the <Live Game> commentary - but that was also true during the early days of <CG>. Anyways, you'd have to do all of 1-3 for the <Live Game> to make sense anyways. |

 | | Annie K.: That's a pretty good list, but only second-and-lower priority. The actual first priority is topping up the daily features (PotD, GotD, etc.) queue. Never mind that the "selections" have been bad for quite a while now - the real problem is that the queue may run out altogether any day. You can imagine what happens then. |
|
| Aug-20-18 | | JimNorCal: Good comments zanzi and Annie.
The unique and valuable contribution of CG is providing a historical record plus informed commentary and error correction. Other sites are strong for online play. Other sites provide live tournament coverage. CG also provides lots of unique fun features like contests, team play, GotD/PotD and so on. My 2 cents. |
|
Aug-20-18
| | Annie K.: Well, it's about more than the value of the daily features in themselves. The issue is that if all these features turn up empty some day, the site's homepages (desktop and mobile) will look completely broken. And then we really will have people starting to leave. |
|
| Aug-20-18 | | JimNorCal: People may leave, but people will come back, too. Because the site offers a unique value. I found myself absent-mindedly clicking on CG to find out about Sinquefield even though the site is broken and even though I tend to watch live games on Chess24. It's trivial but C24 only says "game not started yet" whereas the CG live game page will tell you the start time. (Though not anymore, of course). I know it's minor, but that's an example of why people come to CG. <DF> made a lot of useful information readily accessible. |
|
Aug-20-18
| | Annie K.: Yes, I also think people will come back. It would still be much better to concentrate first of all on avoiding the broken homepage scenario. Chess24 also always states exactly when the games will start, you just have to know where to look. I use mostly their information for the Bookie. Speaking of chess24, one of the reasons I promote them any chance I get is that they were great friends and colleagues to Daniel/cg during the trouble with Agon. We owe them gratitude for that. |
|
| Aug-20-18 | | Caissanist: My main request to <Sargon> would be that he post these updates somewhere other than the cafe--this page, or maybe open his own forum. |
|
| Aug-20-18 | | zanzibar: <Annie K> I'd be glad to concede the "of the Day" series to be #1 priority, especially given the importance they have for many users. Personally, I don't utilize them as much as I might. I was thinking the shift from <Live Game> to tournaments would be a small shift for <Sargon>. OTOH- feeding the XotD queues should be fairly easy too, that is, if volunteers have done the homework and prepared the selections for data entry. And yes, <Caissanist> is right about using the proper forum for announcements. Damn newbies! . |
|
| Aug-20-18 | | zanzibar: <<Caissanist> so that if a message comes, say, from <zanzibar all business>, we'll know to take that 100% literally.> chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #29997) I meant to reply to this for a good while, and now's as good a time as always. Yes, I sometimes mix the serious with the absurd, and occasionally just post my version of the humorous. I've mentioned elsewhere that I won't always explain it, or even point it out. But there's usually a give away for the attentive somewhere as a give-away. E.g. in one post, the mention of refunding 17c is pretty clearly absurd. I actually hate emoji's, and rarely use them. So another give-away I'll give away, is the use of "!". Then again, not all of my !'s are the equivalent of ;)'s -- but say no more, say no more - nudge, nudge, wink, wink! . |

| | Annie K.: <OTOH- feeding the XotD queues should be fairly easy too, that is, if volunteers have done the homework and prepared the selections for data entry.> As far as the PotD goes, I kinda doubt Sargon got around to finding the emails of the volunteers that he is supposed to forward to Kevin yet, but I believe Kevin himself had also prepared selections that were not yet utilized. So there should be a batch to start with that Sargon could get easily (he knows how to contact Kevin). As for the GotD, if he has trouble finding the pun submissions from the script, he could just pick some from the public Pun Voting Booth. For which he'd now have the address... if he were reading this page, as he's supposed to, that is. |
|
| Aug-20-18 | | zanzibar: RE: <?otD>
Just wondering - do "we" have <Player of the Day> and <Opening of the Day> covered? I of course assume <PotD> is <Puzzle of the Day>, in the previous post. BTW- being fond of abbrevs, I assume <OotD> is <Opening>, but what is <Player>? Maybe <PlotD>? . |
|
Aug-20-18
| | Annie K.: We don't talk about the Player of the Day... ;s |
|
| Aug-21-18 | | Tiggler: Who the hell is this <nisjesram>? Talk about spewing hate. Put a sock in it and choke to death. |
|
| Aug-21-18 | | Big Pawn: Looking at the list of members who have kibitzed the most, I see that <Saffuna>, formerly <Jim Bartle> has kibitze over 77,000 times!! WOW!!!
Whoever the new admins are, or who the new owner is, I think <saffuna's> incredible feat deserves to be commemorated on the homepage. |
|
| Aug-21-18 | | nok: Nobody cares for xxx of the day, except for the puzzle. Most of the site activity is comments on current tournaments, so the priority should be a Saint Louis 2018 page. |
