ARCHIVED POSTS < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 801 OF 1118 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-12-15    chessgames.com: <My Chess Career Quote> That's odd, the translation is so far distorted the original that it looks like somebody took a foreign language edition and rendered it back into English. On the bright side, it's heart-warming to see that Winter has become a Chessgames regular. About the <Senior Championship>, yes we were meaning on getting those games, sorry for the delay. <Could you please put up a page for Zone 3.3 currently being held in Vietnam?> We are still working on a way to extract PGN from their site. I'm sure we'll get the games soon. Mar-12-15    Pulo y Gata: Thanks, CG! Mar-12-15    Annie K.: <cg: <...it's heart-warming to see that Winter has become a Chessgames regular.>> Heh, indeed. Do you think you could implement his re-translation, or would you then be accused of using it without permission? ;s Mar-12-15    Alien Math: Interest to note he appears to quote from chessgames, if only to show a mistranslated quote Mar-12-15    chessgames.com: World Senior Teams +50 (2015) World Senior Teams +65 (2015) Mar-13-15    Annie K.: Can't... stop... laughing... :p Um, today's GOTD pun is, like, a total coincidence, right? ;D Mar-13-15    Baron Harkonnen: <annie> ha ha , very good. Mar-13-15    OhioChessFan: What exactly is your name? 1. chessgames.com 2. Chessgames.com 3. ChessGames.com 4. Chessgames.Com Just browsing around somewhat randomly: Home page banner: Lower case Your user name: Lower case After signing in, welcome page: Lower case New users getting started: The first C is upper case. All future references to "Chessgames" have a capital C. Link to "about" at bottom of every page: The first C is upper case. Teaser on homepage to become a premium member: The first C and the G are upper case. Contacts by email almost always use lower case. The only time I see something different is at the very bottom of the "FAQ" page, where the first C is upper case. Link to "FAQ" at bottom of every page: The first C is upper case throughout. Mar-13-15    OhioChessFan: And a small correction amidst my wanderings: <University of Pittsburgh FTP - one of the oldest and most complete archives of chessgames online. > "chessgames" should be two words. Mar-13-15    cow: <ocf> tournament index- all upper case Mar-13-15    chessgames.com: <What exactly is your name?> It used to be ChessGames but we lost the capital-G long ago so now it's just Chessgames. As a business entity it is Chessgames Services LLC. As a logo, we use chessgames.com (I suppose I picked my username to reflect the logo.) As a URL, it is always chessgames.com We went through the site some years back to eradicate ChessGames from our literature but no doubt there are plenty of examples still hanging around. Mar-13-15    chessgames.com: <Um, today's GOTD pun is, like, a total coincidence, right? ;D> Oh, haha, yes. It was picked weeks ago. Pity it didn't show up yesterday. Mar-13-15    WannaBe: Just FYI. JRE 8-Update 40, Win7, using IE, was able to see Deluxe Chess Viewer. =) Mar-13-15    WannaBe: Win8.1 + IE is a go, too. =) Mar-14-15    offramp: There is also this oddity: User: chessgames Mar-14-15    Tabanus: The Gashimov Memorial page is up: http://www.shamkirchess.az/index.ph..., and it seems the World Team Ch will be played at the same time in the neighbor country: http://www.fide.com/index.php?optio.... Mar-14-15    zanzibar: <And a small correction amidst my wanderings: <University of Pittsburgh FTP - one of the oldest and most complete archives of chessgames online. > "chessgames" should be two words.> Does anybody have an archived copy of Pitt's collection? It's off-line, but there are so many refs to it that I'd like to get the entire zip collection. In particular there is at least one Moscow blitz tournament with some tactical positions I'm missing. Mar-14-15    zanzibar: <Stonehenge> post refers to Winter's take on <CG>'s Capablanca quote: http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... Scroll down a little to see Urcan's take on a <CG> Philidor quote, CN 9156. Mar-14-15    Annie K.: <Tab> that Gashimov Memorial page seems to be all about 2014...? <zanzibar> steadfast fans, they are! ;p Maybe <cg> should offer these special avatars for the fine gentlemen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statle... Mar-14-15    chessgames.com: <Does anybody have an archived copy of Pitt's collection?> That will be hard to track down. It was archived in many overlapping PGN files, so you'd see a file list like karlsbad1907.pgn kasparov.pgn kingsgambit.pgn knightendings.pgn etc. Games were duplicated across files, often with different scores or other contradictions. Our own Zipfile Archive was intended to emulate their presentation (minus the contradictions.) Mar-15-15    Annie K.: Aha - just found the 2015 Gashimov Memorial page. Looks like they only updated it on Twitter so far: https://twitter.com/shamkirchess_15. Planned for April 16th-26th. Mar-15-15    chancho: http://sportbox.az/chess/113201/pri... Mar-15-15    Tabanus: Wrong Gashimov Memorial link from me, I trusted/copied it from another website without looking. Mar-15-15    FSR: Thanks for posting my write-up for Carlsen - Anand World Championship (2014). However, you have bollixed it up a bit, moving a clause from the third sentence to the first. It reads: <This match was a reprise of the Anand - Carlsen World Championship (2013) by a point, thereby qualifying for the title rematch. the year before. To the disappointment of Anand's fans, he had decisively lost that match and thus his world title: Carlsen had won with three wins, seven draws, and no losses. But just four months later, the 44-year-old Anand confounded his critics by winning the World Chess Championship Candidates (2014).> It should read: <This match was a reprise of the Anand - Carlsen World Championship (2013) the year before.

It's because of these skilled volunteers that I'll renew my subscription, even though those scaly non-premium nutcases can enjoy them just as much as my wonderful self. How about copywriting them? I'll bet you a sawbuck to a sack of hammers that these introductions are soon copied across the internet and even into books. Mark my words!!
