  OhioChessFan: <cg.c: (However in the case of divorce, or multiple divorces, this may not be desirable. Nobody comes here and searches for Jana Miles or Jana Hartson, so she might as well be Jana Bellin.)>

I think you could let all the married names (or unusual middle names or the occasional player with a series of last names) remain searchable even though you remove them from the heading of the player page.

  OhioChessFan: <I don't even know what to call his original username because he must be in the 2-300 range now..

But he's back on the So page. >

I bet I'm not the only person on the page who is thinking "That's what you get for violating your own rule on the use of this forum instead of the Whistleblower function." You allowed this kind of appeal last time, even commented in here about agreeing to it, and the same person comes right back.

Jan-17-14  john barleycorn: <chessgames:The other software was added more recently and provides the extended names like <English Opening: Anglo-Indian Defense. Flohr-Mikenas-Carls Variation: Nei Gambit>>

Has the software been tested before?

How would I search for <English Opening: Anglo-Indian Defense. Flohr-Mikenas-Carls Variation: Nei Gambit>?

Jan-17-14  RedShield: All round four games from Tata 2014 Group A should have their locations changed to Amsterdam.
Jan-17-14  DcGentle: Dear <chessgames.com>,

Well, I have a question:

Can we arrange a post-mortem meeting with <GingerGM>, maybe Sunday afternoon server time? Needn't be this weekend, because summaries are not yet finished.

But we expect GM Williams to resign as early as tomorrow night.

  chessgames.com: <DcGentle> This talk is premature. When the game actually is over I'll speak to Simon about participating in a post-mortem.

  chessgames.com: <RedShield: All round four games from Tata 2014 Group A should have their locations changed to Amsterdam.> Oh, right you are, they played in the Rijksmuseum. Thanks for pointing that out.

  Domdaniel: <DcGentle> Premature. And crass. Try to hold your horses, eh?
Jan-17-14  RedShield: We need a way to report, or a place to post duplicate games where the correct version isn't definitely known and elucidation is sought.
Jan-18-14  Octal: <chessgames.com>
The java applet used on the site does not meet the security guidelines implemented in Java 7 Update51.

This is why there is a security question. If you could update that would be much appreciated by all your users.

Jan-19-14  Karpova: <chessgames.com>

I submitted a game between Flamberg and Konstansky and one between Romanovsky and Langleben. Please have a look at the comment to the second game submitted (Romanovsky vs Langleben) before uploading the first one.

Jan-19-14  Jim Bartle: Simon Williams resigned his game. Could you open Chessgames Challenge: S Williams vs The World, 2013 to him (assuming it's blocked?) to him so he can comment?
Jan-19-14  DcGentle: <chessgames.com: <DcGentle> This talk is premature. When the game actually is over I'll speak to Simon about participating in a post-mortem.>

Simon Kim Williams

Was it really premature?

  Stonehenge: <Was it really premature?>

Yes, it's a matter of good manners.

Jan-19-14  DcGentle: <Stonehenge: <Was it really premature?> Yes, it's a matter of good manners.>

Well, I didn't demand that they should talk to him on the spot, while the game was going on. I only wanted to know about the possibility.

That's all, I guess this was a misunderstanding.

Jan-19-14  kellmano: <DcGentle> It wasn't crass, neither was it premature given Williams's post on his player page.

  Stonehenge: <kellmano> likes being contrary for the sake of being contrary.
Jan-19-14  Nina Myers: <Stonehenge> au contraire!

  Domdaniel: <DcGentle> I apologize for using the word 'crass' about your enquiry -- that was too strong a word. I still think that you were a little bit premature, even if events proved you right.

  chessgames.com: Let's end this quibbling and just say congratulations to the team of 1000+ chess fans who helped create this little gem of a game.

I've now opened up Simon's access to Chessgames Challenge: S Williams vs The World, 2013 and emailed letting him know that his participation would be greatly appreciated.

  chessgames.com: Could somebody assemble a list of all proposed puns? (I am partial to "Ginger Snaps" but that joke has been well worn out by now.) It won't be GOTD until Tuesday because we have something slated for MLK day tomorrow.
