ARCHIVED POSTS < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 840 OF 1118 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jul-22-15    Abdel Irada: <cg.com>: You see <this color> as gold? Interesting. To me it looks brown. ∞ Jul-22-15    chessgames.com: Do I see it as gold? Not really. I'm not even sure if "gold" is a properly defined color. It just sounds classier than "brown." Jul-22-15    chessgames.com: In other news: <SECURE SSL CERTIFICATE> It has come to our attention that the secure certificate for Chessgames expired two days ago!

(Please understand that at no time was our secure sever ever unsecured; SSL expiration dates have little to do with security and everything to do with how domain companies make their money.) <CHESSGAMES TEAM GAME IV> We're putting it together now. The next game will be a 'normal' correspondence game, which is to say, computers are fully allowed. It will only be available to premium members. Jul-22-15    Abdel Irada: <chessgames.com: Do I see it as gold? Not really. I'm not even sure if "gold" is a properly defined color.> To the extent that it is, it refers to any of various yellowish shades, but I agree that in the absence of the actual metallic color, it is pretty inexact. <It just sounds classier than "brown."> Just don't say that to G.K. Chesterton. :-D ∞ Jul-24-15    Domdaniel: < I'm not even sure if "gold" is a properly defined color. It just sounds classier than "brown."> Indeed it does. No need to gold-nose us, or to extend the gold-coated tongue. As Goldfinger might say. Jul-24-15    FSR: Klaus Junge lacks a picture. Here you go: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/.... Jul-25-15    Abdel Irada: I'm still not sure I'd want to read _The Mysteries of Father Gold_. ∞ Jul-25-15    whiteshark: <ceegee> I know this is through unofficial channels but... here's the related game of that Junge picture: [Event "GER-ch 08th"] [Site "Bad Oeynhausen"] [Date "1941.??.??"] [Round "15"] [White "Junge, Klaus"] [Black "Kieninger, Georg"] [Result "1/2-1/2"] [ECO "A54"] [EventDate "1941.08.03"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 d6 3.

Rc1 Ng6 37. Ng2 1/2-1/2 btw, is there a reason why Klaus Junge page has no customized features like <MOST PLAYED OPENINGS>, <NOTABLE GAMES>, <NOTABLE TOURNAMENTS> or <GAME COLLECTIONS>. Just wondering why 105 Junge games don't have these features, while 101 games of Paul Felix Schmidt do have them. tia :) Jul-25-15    chessgames.com: Thanks for the photo and game. <wondering why 105 Junge games don't have these features, while 101 games of Paul Felix Schmidt do have them> I'm wondering that myself. I just gave Junge the <Chessgames Star of Megaimportance> which will surely fix the issue. Jul-26-15    Annie K.: <cg> check for mail plz? :) Jul-26-15    Check It Out: The top female player definitely needs a photo on her bio! Hou Yifan Jul-27-15    kellmano: British Chess Championships 2015 under way today. Ok it's hardly prestigious without Short and Adams and Sadler, but still worth a page I reckon. Jul-27-15    Penguincw: Don't forget about the Politiken Cup! http://www.ksu.dk/politiken_cup/ Jul-27-15    MissScarlett: You may have noticed some games that I've submitted. Is this one of them? [Event "Simul, 65b"] [Site "Eagle Building, New York, NY USA"] [Date "1915.02.12"] [Round "?"] [White "Jose Raul Capablanca"] [Black "Leonard B Meyer / John W Brunnemer"] [Result "0-1"] [PlyCount "74"] 1. f4 c5 2.

Ke4 Ng4+ 0-1 Jul-28-15    chessgames.com: <Miss S> That one's still waiting in your newest batch, although with less precise names ("L B Meyer / J W Brunnemer"). I'll be sure to use the full names when it gets processed. Jul-28-15    MissScarlett: Yes, it seemed familiar. Couldn't believe Capa could play so lamely twice. But don't let me delay you. Jul-31-15    Penguincw: How about a forum for the HZ Chess Tournament? http://www.hztoernooi.nl/hz/ Aug-01-15    twinlark: Hi ceegee I'd like to recommend a small change to the bios. Many players are registered with federations in countries in which they are not citizens. Hence the country of origin/citizen of country dichotomy is false, eg: Wesley So is not a US citizen, and nor has Naiditsch suddenly become a citizen of Azerbaijan, afaik. Taking a cue from FIDE's player cards, eg Caruana's: https://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml..., a small global change such as "federation" instead of "citizen of USA" would make this clear. That is instead of "citizen of the United States of America", simply substitute "Federation: United States of America". Aug-01-15    Hugin: FIDE Trainers' Commission Chess Surveys http://trainers.fide.com/surveys.html Aug-01-15    MissScarlett: Where are my games!? Just wave them through; the rest you can check. The simul game between Capa and Holben is particularly good. Aug-01-15    Tabanus: <MissScarlett> How long have you waited? The games I submitted games about 6 weeks ago are still not in. Aug-01-15    MissScarlett: Three weeks or so since the last batch appeared. Let's be clear - I'm not asking for special treatment, I'm just expecting it. Aug-01-15    Tabanus: Me too :)) <CG> Please check if the 17 missing games from 18th DSB Kongress (1912) are in? To judge from the kibitzing they were submitted by <perf> Jun-20-14. Aug-02-15    technical draw: I keep getting the duplicate post message. That's because my mouse is double clicking. It's time to buy a new mouse. Aug-02-15    MarkFinan: I just wanted to say that when I <thought> I was seeing the text on the kibitzing in red, I really was. I took a screenshot from when I was seeing red (!?) and another one the day after when I wasn't seeing red. One of the screenshots is still red, one of the screenshots is black. I wasn't seeing things basically. Jump to page #    (enter # from 1 to 1118) search thread:    ARCHIVED POSTS < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 840 OF 1118 ·  Later Kibitzing>
