I believe that this issue has been looked at recently. Jun-25-23    MissScarlett: Taking over <POTD> is making a rod for your own back. Jun-25-23    petemcd85: <Chessical: I receive a 403 error message when I use a VPN. I believe that this issue has been looked at recently.>Due to security issues we have updated our firewall. We are no longer allowing VPN or anything similar, that may hide your IP address. We do make exceptions for premium members, give us a couple of days to provide you with VPN access to our site. Jun-25-23    stevemcd87: <Stone> Sorry about today's puzzle. There was a typo on Sunday's Game so the script went to the next day, ultimately my fault. I fixed it for tomorrow and double checked puzzles for the next few weeks. We haven't changed the person choosing the puzzles, I think he's been doing it for nearly a decade. We'd like to eventually have multiple puzzles of the day. I'll send you an email sometime tomorrow to discuss how you can help, we will greatly appreciate it. Jun-25-23    MissScarlett: <Miss Susan>, how about <Burying the Pede> for Keene vs B Eley, 1964? I will abide by your ruling. Jun-26-23    Susan Freeman: <MissS> Well, even though both players are questionable (IMO) in different ways, the game is good. I rule no censorship. Jun-26-23    Susan Freeman: Might be a good puzzle. Maybe Wenesday. Jul-02-23    Check It Out: <CG>, I like your idea of highlighting a worthy player for more than one day: Daniel Hugo Campora Jul-02-23    Check It Out: His greatest accomplishment being that he was the first CG chess player to be highlighted POTD based on birth date rather than randomly. ;) Daniel Hugo Campora (kibitz #17) Jul-02-23    Susan Freeman: That will be <MissS> domain. Jul-03-23    Check It Out: <Susan Freeman: That will be <MissS> domain.> Oh. Then <MissS> is asleep in the shire. Jul-03-23    MissScarlett: If it was my domain, Howard Staunton would have been <POTD> at least once.....a week. I remember when I first joined the site - when was that? 2014, I believe - there were only about 350 of his games (including consulting partners) in the DB. Meagre harvest! Now there are about 580! Poor Morphy's been left in the dust. Jul-03-23    Check It Out: <MissS> Don't be sly, we all know you joined CG long before 2014. Jul-03-23    MissScarlett: I have the proof: <Member since Jun-14-14>. Who can doubt it? Jul-03-23    Check It Out: Many can. Here's a partial list of previous handles: <User name/enrollment date/last post User: wmd 01/04-07/06 User: john thornton 07/07-11/07 User: MichAdams 12/07-07/08 User: JaneEyre 10/08-01/10 User: bobCrisp 02/10-10/11 User: controlleddemolition 09/11-11/11 User: pepperpot 11/20/11-11/30/11 User: alphamale 11/30/11-02/12 User: alanpardew 12/11-03/12 User: johndahl 03/12-05/12 User: indigoviolet 08/12-04/13 User: BlackFront 07/13-08/13 User: redshield 08/13-06/14 User: MissScarlett 06/14-current> Jul-03-23    MissScarlett: They seek him here, they seek him there Those Frenchies seek him everywhere Is he in heaven or is he in hell? That demned elusive Pimpernel Jul-03-23    MissScarlett: <Sink Me this Place is a Mausoleum!> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBz... Jul-04-23    FSR: I have a couple of questions about E Karklins vs H Terrie, 1990. First, I tried to post a comment to the game, but got a 403 Forbidden message. The comment I wanted to post was: <"Old Man Karklins," as he was affectionately called, was a strong player who knew a lot of theory and didn't shy away from the sharpest lines. He prepared with his son, FIDE Master and local legend Andrew Karklins. Here 20.Nxb7?? was a very strange blunder. Karklins had played all the best moves, and according to Stockfish (a build more recent than 15.1) all he had to do was play the obvious 20. Qxd8 Qxd8 21. Nxb7 Qa8 22. Nc5+ Kf7 23. Bb2 Qa5 24. Na4 to keep the advantage.> Why won't it let me post this comment? Second, why doesn't this game show up on Opening Explorer? Opening Explorer shows only two games, in both of which White played 20.Qxd8. It doesn't show this game, where White played 20.Nxb7?? Why not? Jul-04-23    MissScarlett: E Karklins vs H Terrie, 1990 is a relatively new addition to the DB. This is indicated by the <gid=2381566>. The most recent <gids> are in the range 2532xxx. Periodically, newer games are indexed into the Opening Explorer. Jul-04-23    OhioChessFan: Huh. I thought maybe the homepage would have a banner for the 4th but I guess not. Jul-04-23    MissScarlett: Independence Day paraphernalia has been retired due to the internationalisation of the management structures. Jul-04-23    Susan Freeman: Lest CG offends the Brits. :) Jul-04-23    Susan Freeman: In spite of that, it is up! Jul-04-23    OhioChessFan: Happy 4th, America. Get back to work, England.
