Dec-19-16  Octavia: thx to both of yous!

I misspelled Kiribati!

  Annie K.: <Octavia> you're welcome. :)

<Jess> ackshly, my pet idea wrt the blue balls is to add subliminal post-hypnotic suggestions to them...

Like "have you bought your in-laws Christmas gifts yet?", or "feed a stray animal today!", or "sponsor the site!"... ;D

Dec-19-16  shrdlu: I clicked on the correct game when I thought the clue was live. I can't say I was "robbed" because I'm not sure of the timing. Do you know when the prize was claimed, or can you see if the page was visited before that?

  chessgames.com: <shrdlu> I have good news for you. I dug into the logfiles to see the accesses to the game page in order.

The first one there was SwitchingQuylthulg. Then came MostlyAverageJoe. (They are both sitting out but playing along for fun.)

Then came YOU, so you are in fact the rightful winner, our software prevented you from winning.

I will give you a 4-month membership immediately. Good job and thanks for playing.

Dec-19-16  shrdlu: Many thanks! I'll extend it when my prize(s) run out.

  kingscrusher: Hi Chessgames.com

Thanks for creating that London Classic FIDE Open. Also I think the SuperRapid was interesting - Womens Grandmaster Gunina won it.

I was wondering if both could be also on the new games index on the main front page along with the London Classic top section ?!

  offramp: I think the recent clue, number 39, could be repaired easily. One makes a guess as to each number and puts them in order, smallest at the top, so Milton would come above golf-dimples. One then gets a 7-digit number that has no digit repeated. That is the game number.

  WannaBe: I just had a server outage, Wednesday, 11:42 to about 11:45 Eastern time.

Maybe it's the new Holiday Present Hunt clue? Not sure.

  Penguincw: Hi. Just wondering, how many games can be in 1 collection for premium and free members (I'm trying to fill up a bunch of games in 1 collection, and want to know the limits). Thanks.
Dec-23-16  crawfb5: 500 game limit for game collections: chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #23456)
Dec-23-16  zanzibar: BTW- that sweet-talking someone was me, for an Interzonal that never got promoted.

Now just...

All the same, congrats to <whiteshark> for maxing out the limit.

Dec-23-16  Golden Executive: Re: Premium Membership Renewal

Since my premium membership is going to expire in <2> days, the day before yesterday I tried to do the renewal for one year with my visa card, but the payment area showed that the transaction was declined, I tried 3 times (after waiting for more than a minute each time) with no success.

Then my bank reported to me later that they charged me all that 3 times.

Please check your system in order to verify what happened.

Thanks in advance.

I am posting this here because I have not received an answer yet to the e-mail I sent to you 2 days ago and I don't want my premium expires.

  chessgames.com: <GE> I'm very sorry about that--I am out of doors at the moment. but I'll investigate this later tonight and make things right.
Dec-24-16  Golden Executive: Thanks <CG>. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2017!
