 | | WannaBe: I think for April 1st, we should, every 30 minutes, give regular member a Wabbit avatar, double the amount of numbers each time. Then, when clock strikes midnight for April 2nd, all would return to normal. I like this funny idea. Be a hoot!! |

 | | Penguincw: I'm going to switch topics.
I submitted this correction a while ago, but still haven't seen change. This game (Y Bacallao Alonso vs E Espinosa, 2015) does not belong at the Capablanca Memorial, as it's part of the <Premier Group> of the tournament. Thanks. :) http://www.chessdom.com/capablanca-... |

 | | Annie K.: Heh, I actually know of a site where avatars get switched to a special set of "April 1st avatars" on every April 1st (and then restored to normal, of course). It could be fun, ackshly. ;) I also know of a(nother) site where they do have an avatar upload feature, but the avatar won't appear until it's approved by an admin - which is not very different from the mail-it-in route we have here, just a little more streamlined. |

| Jun-26-15 | | WinKing: Any chance on getting a page for Dortmund 2015?

| Jun-27-15 | | WinKing: Thanks for the Dortmund page <chessgames>. |

 | | FSR: Are you going to add recently submitted games anytime soon? I have submitted games as far back as May 9 that still aren't in the database. |

| | chessgames.com: Sorry about that, we're way behind in that department. We'll get to it shortly. |

| Jun-27-15 | | heuristic: this game :
W Martin vs Zukertort, 1876
is in the opening explorer twice :
Opening Explorer Opening Explorer the first one is incorrect
we need the "correction slips" form for opening explorer! |

| | chessgames.com: <heuristic> That very odd, thanks for pointing that out. We're looking into it. |

| | FSR: For heaven's sake, make F Jenni vs P Nabavi, 2004 GOTD already. It's surely one of the most beautiful games in the database. |
|
Jun-28-15
| | chessgames.com: OK, done. Look for it soon. |
|

| | FSR: Cool! Thanks! |
|
| Jun-28-15 | | Abdel Irada: Thank you for calling that game to my attention, <FSR>. It really is quite remarkable for White's material insouciance. ∞ |
|
| Jun-28-15 | | Abdel Irada: I see a well-known troll and creator of sock accounts is now stalking <ljfyffe> on the Kibitzer's Cafe, using three different new accounts. <cg.com>, don't you think it might be wise to change the registration process to make it harder for trolls to create sock accounts? Other sites do, and it does help.

 | | offramp: Today's game of the day, M Krasenkow vs Nakamura, 2007, is an English Opening: Agincourt Defense. October 25th of this year will be the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Azincourt. So if another Agincourt Defence is in the pipeline, that might be a good day to let it out. |

| Jun-28-15 | | Pyke: Hi <Chessgames>,
is there any chance of getting some Live Games from the ongoing Sparkassen Chess Meeting in Dortmund? Would be pretty awesome ... You know, I need to get my fix ;-) |

| | offramp: While I was popping by I noticed this post from <Abdel Irada> <I see a well-known troll and creator of sock accounts is now stalking <ljfyffe> on the Kibitzer's Cafe, using three different new accounts...> So I had a look at User: ljfyffe's posts, to see what was going on. But poor User: ljfyffe only posts to the stupid Rogoff page, the moronic Odd Liepage and the colossaly stupid Kibitzer's' Cafe. It reminded me of a phrase my old Irish father told me: <"If you eat with the devil, you need a long spoon."> Perhaps User: ljfyffe should broaden his horizons as regards CHESS, and narrow them in the notoriously TROLLING area LOL!! ✌ |
|
| Jun-28-15 | | Abdel Irada: The entire site is a trolling area, thanks to certain lawless users, whom you choose to defend by ridiculing those who complain of them. I think this says something about your character. ∞ |

| | chessgames.com: <is there any chance of getting some Live Games from the ongoing Sparkassen Chess Meeting in Dortmund?> Unfortunately we won't be covering the first few rounds, but stay tuned. <don't you think it might be wise to change the registration process to make it harder for trolls to create sock accounts?> I am pretty well acquainted with the different kind of registration pages websites offer, and don't know what you mean that they make it "harder for trolls." We require a validated email; we refuse services like trashmail.com, we make them enter a Captcha. What else can we do, require them to mail us a photograph of their passport? <October 25th of this year will be the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Azincourt.> Thanks for the head's up, I'm marking my calendar! |
