You replaced my pun <King David> with <Navaramind> here, Navara vs R Wojtaszek, 2015, a weak substitute if I may say so,

and you replaced <Mate Me in St. Louis> with <Black Knights Matter> W So vs Nakamura, 2015, and both just this week.

In my opinion, both of the original puns were classic quality, and to replace them is a shame.

Secondly, I think the very notion of replacing puns is abhorrent. Let the good and the bad stand; there is more than enough fodder for games and puns.

First, doing a kibitzing search I find a broken link in a post you made:

Search Kibitzing

Your post:

Wherein the link works.

But a cut-and-paste of the link(*) from the kibitz search:

Shows an admixture of HTML markup with the url - causing it to break.

Is this intended behavior? (he asked rhetorically)

G Neumann vs de Riviere, 1867

The PGN gives the PlyCount as 44 when it should be 43.

<CG> doesn't do this universally, which makes it a little baffling. I suspect you corrected an algorithm at some point, but never reviewed older games.

I should point out that the kibitzer search I wanted was for

<"chess editor">

Note the quotes. <CG> should respect those during when parsing the request and just search for the exact phrase I'm after.

If it had, then the link wouldn't be broken.

On the other hand, I could have easily done a search on

<chess editor>,

looking for kibitzes where both words show up in a post (in any order). That's in effect what I did (though not my intention), and then the link is broken.

The PGN gives the PlyCount as 44 when it should be 43.>

I reviewed that case. There is a function which determines the correct plycount of a game and then corrects it, if it's different from what's indicated. There apparently is a bug when a comment exists in place of a final move, e.g. a game that ends 100.Ke2 time 1-0 would wrongly be given a plycount of 200 instead of 199 like it should.

Thanks for pointing that out, a line of code needs to change and then all of those problems will self-correct.

Silly me for oversimplifying the situation :)

<it has become clear that you are substituting new puns for old ones. You replaced my pun <King David> with <Navaramind> here, Navara vs R Wojtaszek, 2015, a weak substitute if I may say so,

Perhaps we should have announced this with more fanfare, but for the past ten days as well as today we have been just running through the list of the 10 best games of 2015, according to Game Collection: Best Games of 2015. So please know that it's nothing aimed against you or any of the clever people who submit puns.

I'm not sure whether <tpstar> comes up with these puns on his own or whether it's a group effort, but nevertheless we used the titles he presented in his game collection without consideration as to whether it was an improvement or not. While I won't dispute your opinions above, some of his puns were positively brilliant, my favorite being today's GOTD Wei Yi vs L Bruzon Batista, 2015. It's one of those puns that just writes itself.

Since all of these games are by definition very good, we will surely run all of them again one day, and then we have the opportunity to revert back to the previous puns. Or, just perhaps, we'll think of something novel.

<Secondly, I think the very notion of replacing puns is abhorrent. Let the good and the bad stand; there is more than enough fodder for games and puns.>

These two people are probably the same guy
