| Oct-18-13 | | MarkFinan: Favourites doesn't work on the CeeGee challenge forum either. Instead of it taking me back to my last comment I posted and the question I posed, I go to the very last page and I have to go back through the pages to see if anyone answered my question.
I'm not complaining guy's, just letting you know.

 | | chessgames.com: Favorites definitely works on the CG Challenge for most users; due to the business of the posting there, it's one of the most important pages for that feature to operate. You use a mobile platform, right Mark? I'll try to replicate your situation on an iPhone. |

| | chessgames.com: <Thanh Phan: <chessgames.com> Not entirely sure if this is fair or not for us or others in our situation, but an agreement for us if one of us votes in our household the other wouldn't while on the same team> I'm sorry Thanh I don't quite follow what you are saying. You share a computer with somebody else who is on the World Team? Perhaps it's best to make sure that you always click "logout" on the shared computer, if that isn't too inconvenient? |

| Oct-18-13 | | MarkFinan: My touchpal keyboard has stopped working on this site!
When i use emojions like smileys for example, i press kibitz and the two boxes where you can edit your post in appears, and in the bottom box the code for the smiley is there (eg 12345#;) but once posted its not visible anymore.
Has something changed your end?

| | chessgames.com: <benjinathan: Is there a way to search to see if a particular pun has been used in any game?> We don't have a feature like that, but as you can read above there have been some heroic efforts made by members starting here: Game Collection: Game of the Day Pun Index (A-C) Also as a backup you can always use Google. For example to find the game that we dubbed "The Big Lagowski" go here https://www.google.com/#q=%22The+Bi... (and surprisingly we're not the first but the third result.) It's worth mentioning that if you add a pun to the Pun Submission Page it will do a superficial check to see if your pun has been used, although the tiniest variation will circumvent that feature. |

 | | Annie K.: <cg> yeah, AFAIK User: Thanh Phan and User: Alien Math are sisters, posting from the same household. <Mark> just for feedback, your graphical smilies have always showed up as empty boxes on my PC, but are visible on my iPhone; a charset / encoding issue, I expect. Anyhoo, the smilies in your post here still follow that pattern, so no recent change at my end. |

| | chessgames.com: Mark: nothing has changed that would effect such behavior. Perhaps you received an OS update which changes that behavior?
✌ |
|
| Oct-18-13 | | Thanh Phan: Nothing against what the site provides, like <Annie K.> noted, both me, Alien Math and catsfaith used the same computer for here, an agreement was reached that we don't normally vote more then once from our household if we could keep track of who voted here, sometimes we make mistakes |

| Oct-18-13 | | MarkFinan: <chessgames.com: Mark: nothing has changed that would effect such behavior. Perhaps you received an OS update which changes that behavior? <✌>> Haha, no doubt it will be me as usual, so no more V for victory/peace signs for the time being. Btw. You may need to make yours bigger or <Robed.bishop> will think you have fleas, lol dont ask! ;) |

 | | Domdaniel: <Thanh Phan> If you mean voting in the challenge game vs GM Simon Williams, then all three of you are quite entitled to vote. Please do participate -- sharing a computer is no reason to limit your involvement. |
|
| Oct-18-13 | | MarkFinan: Admins.. Yes i use a mobile, vodafones iPhone! The comments still hightlighted but it still takes you to the very last page as opposed to the very last comment. ✌ |

| | chessgames.com: <Alien Math and catsfaith used the same computer for here, an agreement was reached that we don't normally vote more then once> Domdaniel is correct, there is no reason why you two can't register two votes. Perhaps you have heard that we keep track of details like which IPs vote for which moves; and that is true--but we are on the lookout for dishonest behavior and aren't out to persecute a few members who happen to legitimately use Chessgames from the same computer. |

| Oct-18-13 | | DoctorD: Now my Firefox won't let me access the games at all. It simply won't open the games due to the lack of a digital signature. |
|
| Oct-19-13 | | Abdel Irada: <DoctorD>, I ran into the same problem. But it turns out you *can* open the script: You will need to click on the little icon that looks like a Lego piece near the left end of your browser address bar. Then you'll be offered the usual warning and option to take the risk of using the plug-in. ∞ |

| Oct-19-13 | | Thanh Phan: Thank you |
|
| Oct-19-13 | | Abdel Irada: De rien. :-)

 | | Eggman: Greetings. I have a question about your opening explorer. The question concerns this position:
click for larger viewThere are six games in the database that reach this position, all of which do so via the move order 1.e4 Nf6 2.Nf3. Yet when I search the move order 1.Nf3 Nf6, the move 2.e4 isn't represented in the 'move' column, counter to my expectations and ample experience with the explorer. The thing is that for example if I search the move order 1.f4 e5 2.e4, I get directed to 8,200 King's Gambit games, even though the vast majority were surely arrived at via the alternate move order 1.e4 e5 2.f4. So why doesn't the move 2.e4 show up when I search the move order 1.Nf3 Nf6? Is this a glitsch? |

 | | SwitchingQuylthulg: <Eggman> The problem (if it can be called such) is that there are no games at all with the move order 1. Nf3 Nf6 2. e4. If the database had even one such game, Opening Explorer would give both that and the six games it's transposing into... without that one game and the link it would provide, it reports nothing. |
|

| | Eggman: <<Switch>> I suspected that might be it. Thanks. |
|
Oct-19-13
| | chessgames.com: <Eggman> What you described confused me at first, but SwitchingQ hit the nail on the head. There has to be at least one example of a transposition for the Opening Explorer to latch onto the continuation like that. Whether this is a bug or a clever feature is up for debate, but in any case that's how it works. |

| | Domdaniel: Funny, I thought I'd seen a 1960s Russian game which began 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.e4 ... but obviously not.
There are certainly some odd transpositions in the database, however. For example, Shirov vs Judit Polgar, 1998, goes 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.e4?! and then transposes to a normal King's Indian. |

 | | perfidious: <Eggman>: Here is another twist in the Opening Explorer, from a far more common line, in the Exchange Gruenfeld: Opening Explorer Look for similar games to D E Vigorito vs A Shaw, 2000, while using the order of moves played and Black's twelfth is referred to as a novelty in the move-order used to arrive at that game, which is obviously not the case. Strange business all round-seems to be some sort of bug, and I have noticed other transpositions which are also not handled well, the classic being the immense number of games lumped under the heading of A04. |

| | chessgames.com: <MarkFinan: [ . . . ] Is it just me that finds comments like this on the Rogoff page a bit disturbing?> I'm sure it's not just you, and if you are concerned enough feel free to submit a Whistle. However, do not repost the offending material here. |
