<The proof is in the results.> Um... what happened to the pudding?! ;) |

 | | chessgames.com: I have to resist the temptation of tweaking the software to produce a list of games that exactly equals my personal tastes. Right now there is a very close three way tie for the coveted last position on the top 10 list. All games are perfectly good candidates: Capablanca vs Tartakower, 1924
Polugaevsky vs Nezhmetdinov, 1958
Spassky vs Bronstein, 1960 |

Looks like it's used elsewhere. |

| | chessgames.com: < No "Honorable Mentions" for the Top Ten? > An honorable mention occurs when one of the top-10 is deemed unworthy according to a small set of criteria. You cannot tell if it would have been at the top, middle, or bottom of the list—all you know is that it was moved aside to make room for a new #10 spot. Currently the rules for being demoted to an honorable mention are: being incredibly short, involving that perennial loser NN, or behind part of some sort of exhibition, simul, blindfold. (I think blitz games would get honorable mentions but in practice I don't believe there are any very famous blitz games.) We relaxed those rules when it comes to Notable Chess Games prior to 1800 because so many famous games of that era are short, involve NN, or both. I'm rerunning the computation right now to add the GOTD titles to the lists. It's very nice for the main page but some of the decade pages are starting to look pretty silly. When it's a title like "Rubinstein's Immortal" there is no problem, but in later decades the real groaners appear. I think in the end we should suppress puns on most pages, but since I'm running it now I might as well let it finish so we can look and have a chuckle. <gaming da system> I wouldn't worry too much about that. |

| Jun-03-16 | | posoo: oh i am WORIED. i just came back from da SO page and some man told me to DROWN in a dusty bucket-well! truly! dat place is filled with CRAZY IDOLATERS, do not put it past them to infaltrate! GREAT JOB WITH DA SITE |

| | Annie K.: <cg> I like the idea to enable the puns - at least this shows exactly which of these great games never made GotD! If you leave it up for a while, maybe people will try to come up with puns for the games that don't have them yet. :) |

| | chessgames.com: <Where does trolling end and harassing begin? Where do you draw the line? Is repeated silly trolling the same as harassment just because you do it multiple times?> I don't believe the word "trolling" appears in our rules, so I'm going to assume by "trolling" you mean "jesting/mocking with a mischievous bent" — as opposed to the more serious affronts that are genuinely malicious and intended to produce mental duress to the victim. The Whistle page has this to say on the matter.
< It is acceptable to criticize other members if done in a civil way; however:(a) This line may be crossed if we witness repeated criticisms from one member to another ("cyberstalking"). (b) Any form of name-calling (e.g., making up a pejorative nickname for another member) is forbidden, whether based on the screen-name or their name in real life. > Section (a) is probably what you had in mind. If somebody has something unkind to say about another, we hope to be adults about the issue and move past it. But when somebody continually harangues the same person, unprovoked, we make a move to stop it. |

| Jun-04-16 | | Knight13: <chessgames> Understood. So intention matters in determining whether something is harassment or if it's some BS that really needs to stop. |

| Jun-04-16 | | sonia91: The 14th annual <ČEZ Trophy> match starts on June 5 in Prague. This year David Navara (2744) faces Richard Rapport (2731). Last year Navara met Wesley So (So - Navara Match (2015)), in 2014 Nakamura (Cez Trophy Navara - Nakamura Match (2014)); in previous years, Hou Yifan (Cez Trophy Navara - Hou Match (2013)), Kramnik, J. Polgar, Svidler (Cez Trophy: Navara - Svidler (2012)), Ivanchuk (Cez Trophy (2009)), Korchnoi among others. http://en.chessbase.com/post/david-.... |

| Jun-05-16 | | greed and death: Is today's puzzle the right one? It says White to play, but White lost the game rather rapidly and there's no alternate move given... |
|
| Jun-05-16 | | Knight13: <greed and death> It is now. Greed, for a lack of a better word, is good except when it leads to death, am I right? :-p |

It's curious that you choose to cover instead an online tournament (ICC Open). The American Continental Championship, whose top 4 finishers qualify for the 2017 World Cup, also deserves to have a forum. |

| Jun-06-16 | | zanzibar: <CG> - can we get a chronological list of corrections applied to a game somewhere? * * * * *
I mean specifically for a game.
How about a list for all the games in any given tournament? |
