<Mark> I never knew the extent of this stalking incident until I read all your recent posts on it the last few days. As I mentioned to you in an email years ago, something similar happened to me to the extent that my parents had to change our phone number- which they blamed me for, perhaps rightly. But it scared the crap out of me and I made sure never to use any real information online ever again. But how on earth did he get your phone number? To this day I don't know how my stalker got my parent's phone number which I don't even think was ever on my computer. Even though I've been in Korea for the last 10 years now, I still think about it. Anyways I hope you succeed in stopping your stalker. |

 | | offramp: Dear chessgames.com.
My favourites list has just spilled over onto its second page.All the favourites are in the same colour, a slightly bilious teal.
https://drawception.com/pub/panels/...
Is there a future plan that would allow us to assign different colours to different favourite users? That would be so cool!
Peace!☮☝☘ |

| Apr-10-16 | | zanzibar: I don't know, the timing might be bad, or maybe <CG> would like the change of pace... I've looked fairly hard for a game by Herman Lehner, an important Austian chess editor. For instance, it's thanks to his publication of the <Vienna (1882)> games that we have the record we do of this tournament. Yet, because <CG> has none of his recorded games, there is no bio page for him. Miron Hazeltine is another example of an important figure needing a page, despite a lack of recorded game. Can <CG> accommodate creating pages for such people? If necessary, we could use one of Lehner's published compositions, which I suppose could be repackaged as a pseudo-game: (White to mate in 4)

| Apr-10-16 | | MarkFinan: You can change my username Daniel, right? I don't care about the posts, I'm not stupid and I've nothing to hide.....apart from my <real name>! Why? Well take a good guess Sherlock. I want my username changed to <MimimimiNuno> or something like that, I just want my real name off this site so I don't get any more stalkers, the posts themselves are irrelevant. Only the other week I realised I had a shed load of messages from <quantum conscious> (btw. What happened to his other usernames? That's right, you erased them!) so I don't want any more messages like that. I'm not comparing <qc> to Keyser Soze in any way shape or form I'm just trying to get it into your head why I want my real name erased from chessgames dot com. And please don't email me because I want a public answer. Only a few months ago you wiped the <Travis Bickle> handle along with all his posts yet above you say you stopped erasing usernames because of Kkderek. You're a liar and I want an answer. If you think I've anything to hide then LOL. How are you not getting this? |

Perhaps a nice light olive? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66O... |

 | | chessgames.com: <MarkFinan: You can change my username Daniel, right?> Feel free to resume this conversation via email.
If you and Keyser don't cease using this forum for your cage-match I'm going to have to solve this problem by putting you both on probation. |
|
| Apr-10-16 | | MarkFinan: How's about you start by erasing the <Bubba from AG> username you know full well he created, it's been there for a year! And I've said everything via email and in this forum and you haven't answered my email this week so I'd much prefer you answered my questions right here. |

User: Bubba from AG I sent you an email yesterday. I'm not sending you another until you've replied. Anyway it's been a long week and I need to get some sleep. Hopefully! |

| Apr-10-16 | | zanzibar: I always thought games were sorted by date, but I guess I'm wrong: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... Take the first two games - why is R20 sorted before R3? The date and <CG> gid both would put R3 on top. |

Lag time up to one minute to navigate cg.com-
7:48 pm Korean time, desk top computer on chrome.
<Daniel> when do you think you will have the new server up and running reliably? If this is only me experiencing this chronic lag time, please email me ok? Remember before a few times it was something to do with Korean IP addresses, when I was the only member reporting chronic lag times. |

 | | chessgames.com: We have a number of games from Sergievskiy Memorial Rapid (2016) taking (took?) place in Cheboksary, but we're unclear on most of the details (# of rounds, time control, format, etc.) and nobody around here can read http://ruchess.ru/ We do know games can be seen live at http://ruchess.ru/online/2016/chebo... |

| Apr-11-16 | | zanzibar: <chessgames> First, go to google translate and translation <Sergievskiy Memorial> to Russian, do the same for <chess> and put the three together for a google search: <Сергиевский мемориал шахматам> This gives the following link:

<On Sunday, April 10 in the capital of the Chuvash Republic Cheboksary solemnly opened in rapid chess tournament (step Rapid Grand Prix of Russia) on the Russian champion in 1966, the memory of VD Sergius (1936-1996). Vladimir Dmitrievich - International Master, in an asset whose victory over the 10th world champion Boris Spassky and vice-champion Viktor Korchnoi. For a long time Vladimir Sergievskiy supervised children's chess school at the House of sports society "Spartak" in Cheboksary, instilled a love of chess to hundreds of boys and girls. The chess festival began in the republican state library, which bears the name of IY Yakovlev (1848-1930), an outstanding educator Chuvash, the founder of a new Chuvash alphabet. There was a round table discussion on "Chess in Russian orphanages." It was attended by Sports Minister Sergey Chuvashia Sheltukov and his deputy Boris Atamanov, State Duma deputy Anatoly Aksakov, president of the Chess Federation of Chuvashia Michael Miller, executive director of the RCF Mark Glukhov and the heads of several children's homes Chuvashia.

Then Valentine Gunina conducted simul. Another session was held at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Chuvashia. There Grandmaster Alexander Motylev gathered a huge audience, which consisted of 90% of the girls. However, not all of them ventured to take places at the chess table, but patiently waited for the end of the session. There is no doubt that the next arrival of Alexander in Cheboksary they will learn the rules of chess firmly. And how could it be otherwise in an institution with such a wonderful hymn: You are not vain like native people - emits bright light of knowledge. Flourish in the same noble Our Chuvash University! In addition, two sessions of simultaneous games were held in the Palace of Culture named after PP . Huzangaya - Chess lovers here examined a GMs Sergei Rublevsky and Vasily Papin .

Chapter Cheboksary Leonid Cherkesov read a welcome letter head of the Chuvash Republic Mikhail Ignatiev, as well as on my own behalf congratulated the chess players on a remarkable holiday and expressed hope that the Memorial V. Sergius become traditional competition. Glukhov Mark thanked all those who helped organize this event:.
