Where you talked about how good it made you feel, to watch the murder of thousands of Americans? What do you think about deleting that?>

Yes you can delete that, as long as you take all Fischer's games off the site and any reference to Robert Fischer...>

That makes no sense. As usual, the Leftist just wants to make arbitrary, authoritarian decisions.

Oct-24-18  thegoodanarchist: <Tabanus: How about letting some of the most paranoid members have a break from CG, for their own good.>

You remind me of <zanzibar>. More so with every inane post you write (like the one I'm quoting).

<Tabanus> may be the best contributor to this site. I may not concur with his politics, but he still is an unsong hero to me.

Oct-24-18  Boomie: <chess.com IoM Masters Tournament>

This seems to me to be an awful name for this tournament. Do we have to include the sponsor in the name. And why not spell out Isle of Man?

Oct-24-18
Premium Chessgames Member
  Tabanus: "Isle of Man Masters" is a good option IMO. The title "International" includes also the Major and Minor events.

<Diademas> Thanks brother :) I should probably stick to chess reports only.

That particular task, as was mentioned, is one of the few manual procedures that must occur on a specific weekday. We intend to automate this process soon.

Meanwhile, responsible personnel should be able to manage it, and steps have been taken to prevent such an oversight in the future.

We sincerely apologize for past missteps.

Nonsense. Fischer WAS an American but not long after becoming the World Chess Champion he slowly went strange and repudiated the US big time. He hated the US to his last breath. He was on radio broadcasting against the various US agencies, he spat on a notice sent to him when the war in the Balkans was on and he callously continued to play a ridiculous match against Spassky (despite the horror of that murderous war). He also was ecstatic when the Towers were done (after all who knows who did the Towers?). All that aside there is a good argument for removing everything about Fischer from this site. Or at least a statement saying that he wasn't really an American. He was, after all of immigrant and foreign parents and he was anti-Semitic. So he was effectively insane and a bore even to the Icelandic friends he had with his endless ranting about the CIA and the FBI and so on...

So, Fischer hated the United States. This is not a secret, anyone who has seen the YouTubes, the movies. Having him on cg.com is like having games by Hitler...ridiculous.

We have all played over his games, he was of dubious loyalty to the US, he was a bad person if not evil and thus all his records should be wiped if mine are...Or you leave me and him on only. and nothing else. Perhaps we also might remove Alekhine but that is another issue. The Trumpers are planting bombs now...So all is not well in the State...

There is a serious argument for a black heavy type warning against Fischer or his complete removal from all records. He was clearly evil. Even Big Pawn probably agrees...

I, unlike Fischer, have explained that I take a rather more complex view of these things. You know that but YOU went on the attack. You are an example of someone they need to eliminate from this site.

So as Fischer un-became American there has never been an American who has been the World Chess Champion.

On the other hand, perhaps his position, like mine, was a little bit more complex than that. You cant have your cake and eat it Dr Anarchist...By the way the suggestion to delete the nonsense and bilge on Roggoff was not mine it was Paris Atack's which I concurred with...

Oct-25-18  Dr Winston OBoogie: <As usual, the Leftist just wants to make arbitrary, authoritarian decisions.>

Nonsense.>

Can't see who you're talking to but you should have just left it there, Richard. Nonsense! These Americans - certainly the Rogoff rebels - think everything's a goddamyned democrat plot, even this page is going full Alex Jones.

And ftr I read what you said about 9/11 and whilst I thought it was distasteful I've probably said worse since Trump got elected. Don't let these idiots bother you. Hopefully something will be done about the Rogoff page, it'd make more people shell out money for premium memberships so we can talk about politics in the forum of a person we <actually like> instead of having to overuse the ignore list to avoid reading mindless crap!

Oct-25-18  Keyser Soze: <he was of dubious loyalty to the US, he was a bad person if not evil and thus all his records should be wiped if mine are...Or you leave me and him on only. and nothing else.>

Are you comparing yourself to Fischer, Richard? First, Fischer was probably the best player ever (and by far the best American chess player) . You are a nobody outside here..

Second and more important, he never was a chessgames member. You are, and therefore <you are abide to the rules of the site> , not him. , He did talk crap, sure, Hitler, in another example did talk LOTS of crap, right? They are all dead and more important they <don't have a membership here>. You do. So you can`t hide under Fischer umbrella.

By the way, Fischer paid a heavy price for those antics. And It seems you are paying as well. In his "defense", he was clearly suffering some kind of mental disorder. Despite that, he changed the game and he was a real genius. So like or not we must have him on chessgames. As you said we all play his games.

What are your excuse? You don't have any talent and you are not crazy. You are just and old bore who talks too much (crap).

  Check It Out: Admin was fine with the Rogoff page, especially when it was made invisible on the recent kibitzing section. Folks who visit this website mainly for chess (whaaat?) will most likely never visit the Rogoff forum, and if they do it will be for his bio and games, in particular the quick game he played with Magnus. They might read some comments and think, “what the ...?” But that’s about it. I don’t think there’s any need to do something drastic like erase the page. Anyways, for the most part its just a few vocal chessgame premium members who like to banter and bicker politics and what have you. Big deal. There have been some very good discussions on that page, but you’d have had to follow it for a long time to know that (as I have).

On the other hand, this <Chessgames> forum should be free from bickering, rants, and complaints of posting violations (blow the whistle) and that has been made clear by admin since ever since.

  Tabanus: I think a Politics forum (and perhaps a few others) would be fair and square. If desirable, it/they could be hidden like the Rogoff forum is now.

<CG> Great. There are many, we can take some now and then. Hopefully faster than they accumulate.

^^ The words of a maniac haha 😂. Oh come on, he's mad LOL

Oct-25-18  Boomie: <chessgames.com>

You have to keep up with important ongoing tournaments. Otherwise nobody is going to chat on that page. You are now 3 rounds behind Results.com with Isle of Man.

Carlsen-Caruana World Championship Match (2018)

  Tabanus: Oh no. It should be a space on each side of the "-" :)

Premium Chessgames Member
  Annie K.: No, that will be a different event!

O noes. Discrepancy between the display on History of the World Chess Championship and the actual match titles. Thanks for spotting that. :)

Oct-26-18  wtpy: I appreciate all the work that Sargon, Susan Freeman, Annie K, JFQ and others are doing to get this website back to its high chess standards. Before Daniel's death, I don't think I went to or posted on Rogoff, and seldom went to Kibbitzer's cafe. After his death, I went there to see what was happening with the site. I agree with Al wazir that there are bright people on this site and I want to hear what they think particularly if their views differ from my own. But it is important to be civil to each other, particularly in a world where incivility is becoming closer to the norm. Hewing to the posting guidelines allows us to do that. I trust the moderators to get it right if someone goes overboard with invective, but I don't want to see them have to work too hard. Let's show we can be decent to those with whom we disagree.

Nope. When used to link two words, a hyphen never has a space either side.

Oct-26-18
Premium Chessgames Member
  Annie K.: <Willber G> yeah, but "two words" is not the context here. In this format, the hyphen is a synonym for "vs.", so spaces before and after are correct.

  Willber G: *doffs cap*

(Although in this case I think it could be either.)
