I think the master player pages maybe underplaying the importance of the Chess Olympiads - is this subsumed into "Tournaments" right now?!. Olympiads and team events generally is where players show their strength as team players.

For example, from Wiki:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_...

"Becoming an International Master (IM) in 1957 and a Grandmaster in 1961, Robatsch dedicated much of his life to serving Austrian chess, representing the nation at eleven Chess Olympiads and one European Team Chess Championship. Up until his last Olympiad in 1994, he played first board on every occasion and returned some impressive results. At the 1960 Leipzig Olympiad, he astounded the chess world by scoring 84.4% and taking the board 1 gold medal, while still only an IM. This was also the year that he became Austrian champion."

But I have seen this for many Fischer opponents recently that i video annotated games for - they really often excelled in Olympiad team chess - representing their country.

I wonder if the current "template" could do with a specific section for "Team and Olympiad Events". Mikhail Tal also was really great at Olympiads.

NOTABLE GAMES: [what is this?]
Robatsch vs Jansa, 1974 1-0
Robatsch vs F J Perez Perez, 1963 1-0
Robatsch vs Tal, 1960 1/2-1/2
Robatsch vs T van Scheltinga, 1963 1-0
Robatsch vs Weghofer, 1955 1-0
Robatsch vs Hertneck, 1994 1-0
Robatsch vs Letelier, 1964 1-0

NOTABLE TOURNAMENTS: [what is this?]
Havana (1965)
Hastings 1961/62 (1961)
Vinkovci (1968)
IBM Amsterdam (1972)

GAME COLLECTIONS: [what is this?]
1964 Capablanca memorial by gauer
1963 Capablanca memorial by gauer
1962 Beverwijk Hoogovens by jww

Could include a new section called

"NOTABLE TEAM TOURNAMENTS AND OLYMPIADS"

Good afternoon.

Might you promote the ChessBookForum chessforum to a proper spot on the front page, now that it is a Cg.com "eternal" feature?

As it stands, it only appears on the bottom of the "Example Search" list, and then only periodically.

I think it would benefit the site if you advertised this general interest forum on the front page, in the "What's New" section at the top.

If that means you need to convert the forum to an actual page, like other cg.com official features, then I see no reason not to do that either.

We administrators of the ChessBookForum- and we are legion- would be happy if you did this, and we'd be happy if you kept us as administrators or fired us- either way.

Unfortunately we don't have a Macbook Air to test on, but I'd like to ask you some more questions about the problem.>>> Send me an email telling me what OS version you are on>

Could you publish the OS version here? I have a 2010 MacBook Pro with the original OS, OS X version 10.6.8, and I don't have any of those problems. I do, however, have an equipment update on the horizon (eventually the processor will fail).

you can see from Sept. 30th, he posted the OS and I wasn't able to progress further with reproduction of his issue. (I only have iPad, no MacBook)

<offramp> Assuming you're not joking, if you're using Windows 2.5 you shouldn't be connecting to the internets.

Back in those days, Windows 2.5 didn't even have spell check. That's why it spelled "File" as "Filho". I enjoy Filho dough myself, so that wouldn't be much of a problem.

<Stonehenge: <CG> Any chance of getting the missing games of Millionaire Chess (2015)?> I went and got a large number of missing games that weren't available earlier, but I still see some apparent missing games from the leaderboard. I'm not sure if we're still missing games, but if we are, I doubt they can be obtained.

<kingscrusher> <I think the master player pages maybe underplaying the importance of the Chess Olympiads - is this subsumed into "Tournaments" right now?!> Yes, Olympiads (and other events like which are not strictly tournaments) are found in our Tournament Index. That doesn't mean we don't take them seriously, though. Your idea of making statistics related to team performance is a good one. <I really feel need greater highlighting as part of the current player template.> I see what you mean; when you come to the page of a world champion it's clear that it's a special page, for special sections will appear, the biography will be (or should be) of highest quality, etc. The Olympiad MVPs could enjoy similar coverage.

Hi Jess, <Might you promote the ChessBookForum chessforum to a proper spot on the front page, now that it is a Cg.com "eternal" feature? As it stands, it only appears on the bottom of the "Example Search" list, and then only periodically. ... If that means you need to convert the forum to an actual page, like other cg.com official features, then I see no reason not to do that either.> I like the idea of promoting that forum more "properly" — moreover I like the idea of making a "book discussion page" as an official feature that may have a lot more features; namely a genuine database of books and authors to be folded into the rest of the data. The What's New would be a fine place to inaugurate it. Let me "promote" it for you a bit better and we'll revisit the idea of making it an official feature in 2016.
