|
Sep-04-22
 | | MissScarlett: There should be 18 games, I think, not 10 - 12 in the DRR prelims, and 6 in the finals. |

| Sep-04-22 | | diceman: <WinKing: Will there be any 'Live' game coverage for the Sinquefield tournament?> Yes, check chess24 on youtube. |

| | MissScarlett: How about uploading the <Julius Baer Challenge> https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-t...? Esipenko won this blitz event with +13 =2 -0. Carissa Yip scored +0 =0 -15. One of the event goals was to promote gender equality. All eight males finished above the eight females. |

| | MissScarlett: Re. <Carlsen - Mamedyarov>, the clock was started, so the game should feature. |
|
| Sep-06-22 | | stone free or die: <<Missy> Re. <Carlsen - Mamedyarov>, the clock was started, so the game should feature.> Feature? Hmm, what does that mean?
Typically, withdrawing before the half-way point means all games get nullified. (So, the "-x" treatment in the Event tag for the pgn. Since no moves were made in the Mamedyarov game, I suppose a stub could be kept to denote <Missy>'s observation, but I think an argument could be made that it would be superfluous.) |

 | | Check It Out: <MissScarlett: Re. <Carlsen - Mamedyarov>, the clock was started, so the game should feature.> I agree in the sense that the game has historical value and is worthy of conversation (CG's strength). |

| | MissScarlett: <Feature? Hmm, what does that mean?> Like Fischer vs Spassky, 1972 |
|
| Sep-06-22 | | stone free or die: Yeah sure, I see - it could serve as a platform for CG commentary. . |

Frankly, this sound like hysterics.
Stalinism? Beria? Really?!
This sort of exaggerated vitriol belongs on Rogoff, not here.> Ah, I see.
When someone points out the slippery slope, naturally the slippery slope artists come out of the woodwork to denounce and mock the very slippery slope truth which is pointed out. Oh, of course you don't want to take control and censor anyone. How could I have ever gotten such a crazy idea in my head? (I mean, other than observing 2 centuries of behavior by folks such as yourself?) |

One day we may offer live chess, but we will never lose the focus of archiving the best and most instructive historical games. Warm regards,

The traditional method for "assuaging" the gods is to sacrifice a young virgin.They're in short supply on <CG>, so I suppose <Missy>, despite being long-in-the-tooth, will have to do?!?> <Sep-03-22
Premium Chessgames Member Susan Freeman: They say if one has abstained for one year that person is back to virgin status. Perhaps we could find a few of those around here.> I've identified the problem: paganism.
Let's everyone start following the 1st commandment around here, and soon everything will be "right as rain", as the old saying goes. |

 | | Teyss: Hello,
Has CG ever considered adding a "Like" function or similar? Sometimes we feel a post is really good and don't want to overload the page just with "Well said", "Good point", etc. It's also quicker. Another advantage, it would indicate to the user if he/she is read and if it's worth continuing posting (yes, partly talking for myself now).You might say CG is not social media but some functions are useful regardless. You might be weary that this would reduce the number of postings but on the contrary, it would indicate which posts are worth reading and potentially induce users to answer. Let's face it, interaction is rather limited now: nominally addressed posts that are not answered, post that are not read and hence repeated, even on reduced pages (another example in today's POTD: S Bengtsson vs N Benmesbah, 2019 (kibitz #8)). Posts with likes would get more attention. It could also increase posting quality, tend to reduce trolling as they would get no recognition and maybe limit personal attacks as it would develop goodwill towards the defendant, as well as in general. Just an idea, maybe not appropriate. Have a good day. |
