Aug-24-18  Keyser Soze: <I just think that something that is unprovable should be left alone>

I can prove that easyly and already proved before..it's a fact.

Aug-24-18  Keyser Soze: <saffuna: <big pawn> continues to expose to everyone the person he is>

No you expose your butthurting from Roggof towards <bp> throughout the site to all see.

Maybe you should stop being so nosy towards subjects (you <confessed> before) you don't pay attention much or it is not you business.

Who accused someone of murder, <tuna>.

I get to respond wherever I’m mentioned. Plus, this forum isn’t really for tech stuff anymore. <Zanzibar> is quite cozy here talking endlessly about anything he wants, so, when I see that, I know it’s okay for me to talk about anything I want too.

Aug-25-18  zanzibar: The <Tab>/<Z> debate does belong here, it's really a technical issue on how <CG> handles tournaments, and especially tournament submissions.

(I wish <Tab> would try to meet me part-way on this issue)

The idea is simple, a tournament should be created in an automatic fashion by submitting the bulk PGN.

A simple script could extract out the tournament name, location and bracket dates from PGN headers.

Similarly, all the player names can easily be extracted - those there is a detailed technical discussion about matching up to <CG> players, which I will defer.

The submitted PGN can also be used to create an xtab, and leaderboard.

All of which can be used to create a fair initial version of a tournament page, which can then be improved via hand editing.

Afaik, this machinery doesn't currently exist.

Implementing it will pay off handsomely, and improve the operation of <CG> far into the future.

  SwitchingQuylthulg: <zanzibar: Afaik, this machinery doesn't currently exist.>

Practically all of that machinery does exist, and is used all the time. It is possible to submit bulk PGN; and CG will automatically allocate the games in that PGN to one or more tournaments, creating new tournaments for that purpose if necessary; and CG will automatically match player names in the PGN to existing players in the database; and the new tournaments' results tables are computed automatically from the games. The only thing, in fact, that isn't regularly done is flipping the switch that makes the new automatically created tournaments part of the Tournament Index and open to editing and kibitzing.

Most "tournaments" in the database are hidden and not open to kibitzing; the majority are partial tournaments with 95% of the games either missing or allocated to another hidden tournament with slightly different details, or pseudo-tournaments automatically created from games that simply happen to have similar date and event data, or even "tournaments" of single games; but there are also some real tournaments that just aren't part of the Index, like CG.com Masters vs. Machines Invitational (2007).

Aug-25-18  Dr Winston OBoogie: Can I just ask. Has the new owner decided to adplus/adsense this site to death, because when you're a premium member you shouldn't see any ads. That's not the issue but when there's <literally> a half page ad covering the top of the chessboard on the live game it's annoying!

I say use Google and get paid but this now reminds me of an app with aggressive ads that infect your keyboard and your home screen. I know how to sort this but these ads weren't this bad with Daniel in charge....

..and neither was Big Pawn - https://goo.gl/images/4DrGKF

Aug-25-18  Big Pawn: The question is, will <Winston> give the next owner of <CG> a heart attack?

Aug-25-18  JimNorCal: Defect report: it's frequently the case that tournament cross tables take a while to sync up but Sinquefield 2018 not only has incorrect number of games, etc but there are 11 players listed not 10.

Both "Karjakin" and "Sergey Karjakin" are listed.

Murder? No one said murder until you did. Too bad you didn't defend Daniel from Mark, the way you are trying to defend Mark from <BP>.

You defend the ex-con, but not the upstanding and kind-hearted businessman!

What an excellent post!

Aug-25-18  zanzibar: <JNC> - Sinquefield (2018) PGN download from <CG> is pretty messed up too, as the game headers are wrong on most of Carlsen's games.

These unnormalized headers were considered a "feature" by <Daniel>, who normally ran some fixup program.

I thought pgnfix ran automatically at night each day, but I might be mistaken. I found this 2014 post where <Daniel> first discussed the process to me... but I think I zoned out at the time, as a survival strategy. Funny that we come up against it once again!

  saffuna: <tga> <Murder? No one said murder until you did.>

<Involuntary manslaughter is defined as the unintentional death of an individual as a result of another person's negligent actions. Basically, what it means is killing someone and not realizing your actions could cause death. 'Unintentional' is the key word for involuntary manslaughter because the person did not mean to kill someone.>

  saffuna: Involuntary manslaughter is classified as murder in the third degree.
Aug-25-18  zanzibar: IMO- people talking about anything/anybody connected with <CG> as causing <Daniel>'s death should be banned.

Simple as that.

That's me, exercising *my* right to Free Speech, btw.

Aug-25-18  Big Pawn: <saffuna: Involuntary manslaughter is classified as murder in the third degree.>

After 70 years you're still a full blown idiot? No one mentioned murder until you mentioned it.

Quit showing the world how stupid are and go back to the <rogoff> page where you are safe from public scrutiny.

Dumbass!

<zanzibar: IMO- people talking about anything/anybody connected with <CG> as causing <Daniel>'s death should be banned.>

Suck it up buttercup! It's all about diversity! You need to work on your tolerance and learn to love the diversity that I bring to your life. Time to give the HATE a break!

For the record, I think <Zanzibar> is a chick. 100%. No joke. However, being a believer in equality, I will not treat her any differently than I treat the men. After all, I'm sure <Zanzibar> considers herself a "strong woman"!

heh heh heh

Well...

<Keyser Soze: <I just think that something that is unprovable should be left alone> I can prove that easyly and already proved before..it's a fact.>

Keyser says he's got proof I killed Daniel and he's already proved it!?

Can whoever is in charge of this site at the moment make themselves known please? I believe Sargon promised those evil people would be punished? I'd rather you dealt with this so <nobody> posts here, someone really needs to step up and take control now. I wish you all the best.. You're gonna need it :)
