 | | OhioChessFan: No hyphen-space for me, thanks. |

 | | Annie K.: Technically it could be either, but with spaces is a tidier look, especially considering cases of actual hyphenated player names. When you have players like Vachier-Lagrave, and a few others, involved, it becomes clear why using spaces to clarify the who's who context is a good practice. :) |

 | | Tabanus: At least there is a difference between Anderssen - Morphy (1858) and Anderssen vs Morphy, 1858. And between Blackburne - Zukertort (1887) (match) and Blackburne vs Zukertort, 1887 (game). |

 | | OhioChessFan: I am ashamed to admit I tried to look this up to see if any kind of grammatical rule was involved. I almost never, maybe never ever, look up rules. Clarity and looking/sounding good are far more important. Anyway, I now am even more confused because I can't decide if those are hyphens or ems between their names. I think what I read was that hyphens never have a space, but ems are a longer grammatical characater than hyphens. None of it strikes me as of utmost importance, but if you're trying to do something, you might as well try to do it best. Thoughts on each version. Anderssen - Morphy
It's okay, but a lot of white space. It just looks a bit sloppy to me. Anderssen-Morphy
Looks better to me. But as a complicating factor, when I look at the Games Prediction Contest on my page, and see: Vachier-Lagrave-Mamedyarov 1-0 40
I wonder if clarity should trump sloppiness. |

 | | OhioChessFan: Maybe the ems would be best:
Vachier-Lagrave--Mamedyarov
I guess I'm done splitting hyphen-hairs. |

| Oct-27-18 | | zanzibar: FWIW- I typically like to add the word match to matches, except for WCC and Candidates, etc. I use the "--" for games. As a notable sidenote - <crawfb5> suggested the very useful idea of denoting pairings with unknown colors with the "//" notation, like this: <A // B> or <A//B> * * * * *
<OCF> yes, "--" is like em-dash, — and unlike – or ‐. I like "--" because it's strictly ascii, and easier to use. E.g. do you know the unicode for em-dash, or en-dash? Or the HTML entity for 'em/'en?! |

| Oct-27-18 | | zanzibar: I think it would make a worthwhile comparison, to see how other chess databases name tournaments. Quickly looking at a <Fritz 12> db I sometimes use: <
[Event "Havana m"]
[Site "Havana"]
[Date "1890.??.??"]
>
(m being a very standard abbrev for match)
For the Chigorin--Gunsberg 1890 match in Havana. Personally, I think having redundant info in the Event tag is OK, but I understand why <CG> doesn't like it. . |

I was thinking about renewing premium membership, but seeing that makes me kind of leery. |

 | | Richard Taylor: What Fischer said was o.k. if you accept it in the same way what I said: that is if you see that he was deeply troubled. I think everyone knows he isn't a member of cgs.com, I don't think we have overlooked that Dr Soze! Of course I am not like Fischer as a player there is not question of his greatness of a player (and my clearly weaker status, I have no illusions about that). But the point was made although Soze thinks not. I have never really said anything particularly bad re 9/11 and most people know why I said what I said. If the American people cant get over 9/11 then the place is truly a waste of space. It is a chaos over there and they try to tell everyone else how to live! If the Towers weren't done by or aided and abetted by US agents (or some rogue right wingers, or someone no one knows about or will ever know): provocateurs then, in a sense it was a kind of utu, or pay back. Of course one could think of utu to the British as well. It is amazing that the US was not badly burned for its murderous and illegal invasions of Korea and Vietnam.
The Vietnamese are beginning to call the "Vietnam War" the "American War". But those who have read my explanations of what transpired leading up to the various remarks know that my view of politics is more complex. I accept John Pilger overall but he simplifies. Those who follow Alex Jones (and I understand them) also simplify the picture. Fischer was deluded. But if you want to attack me on 9/11 or whatever you are descending back down into the very why of why we want the Roggoff page removed. Most of my comments were taken out of context and Big Pawn and his compadres are far worse. He and his kind will try to destroy this site. If admin leave them on here cg.com has no future. BP and his comrades are psychos. Probably making pipe bombs as well as pipe dreams at this very moment. If the FBI are looking they should check out the comfreres of Big Pawn and the others. Looking at or reading the Roggoff page is like staring into a burning sewerage vat full of grinning devils...or insane idiot children... |

 | | Check It Out: <Richard Taylor> Your off-topic justifications are out of place here and better suited on your own forum or the Rogoff page. |
