< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 375 OF 445 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-01-23    MissScarlett: I'm presently ignoring these extraneous puzzles with regards to the Game Collection: Puzzle of the Day 2023. Aug-01-23    petemcd85: <MissScarlett: It renders my page wider than the screen, necessitating the use of the horizontal scroll-bar. Annoying.> What device and browser are you using? Aug-01-23    MissScarlett: Laptop and Firefox. Whose bright idea was this exactly? Aug-01-23    Susan Freeman: all of us , <MissS> Aug-01-23    MissScarlett: Is the bonus puzzle meant to be of equivalent difficulty to its respective twin? Aug-01-23    OhioChessFan: Now that I've had a look on a desktop, the dual puzzle does look a little clunky. The appearance is much better on a mobile. Not a big deal in any case. I did notice this on the homepage link "About our puzzles". <What is the Chessgames.com Daily Puzzle? One of the most popular features of Chessgames.com is our daily chess puzzle. It can be found on the homepage, right underneath the search interface. It is updated every day at 12:00am USA/Eastern time.> That time should be updated. Aug-01-23    Susan Freeman: < MissScarlett: Is the bonus puzzle meant to be of equivalent difficulty to its respective twin?> Pretty much. Aug-01-23    Susan Freeman: Steve just told me they are random. My mistake Aug-02-23    Chesschronicle22: I have a little idea if I may CG staff. Is adding an achievement system a good idea at CG? Example: Big Opinions (Obtained: kibitzing 100 times on CG) Or is it a waste of time? I would also suggest adding a reward for obtaining the achievments. I know the current problem is the new bonuz puzzle apearance on desktop. I'm only giving this idea for future notice and use.... Thanks You -- ChessChronicle22 Aug-02-23    Chesschronicle22: I accept that fact, its just an idea.. Aug-02-23    petemcd85: <Chesschronicle22: I have a little idea if I may CG staff.>Thank you for your suggestion! We appreciate your ideas in helping us improve ChessGame. I will add this to the enhancements Aug-02-23    Messiah: Thank you for censoring my kibitz! Now go and censor chrisowen, cormier, perfidious, and the other real violators. Aug-02-23    petemcd85: <MissScarlett: It renders my page wider than the screen, necessitating the use of the horizontal scroll-bar. Annoying.>We made some changes, let me know if you're still having the same issues. Aug-02-23    Chesschronicle22: < *petemcd85 *: <Chesschronicle22: I have a little idea if I may CG staff.>Thank you for your suggestion! We appreciate your ideas in helping us improve ChessGame. I will add this to the enhancements> Those words are to kind for such a simple and bad idea :] Aug-02-23    saffuna: If I want to look at, for example, all of Henry Bird's games as white, how can I do that? I type Bird and click "white" but it only leads me to select which "Bird" I want, then goes to his full page. Aug-02-23    stevemcd87: <saffuna> Thankfully, I was able to select "White" & "Bird" from the dropdown menu on the Advanced Search section(link below): https://www.chessgames.com/perl/che... Though, I did notice the bug when typing in "Henry Bird". Perhaps we can add that filter in the newer games' table(link below) in the future: [unknown player] Aug-03-23    saffuna: That's not the page I get. I get sent to the main Henry Bird page. Same for any player not on the dropdown list who does not have a unique name (no others with same name). Aug-03-23    MissScarlett: 1. Player Henry Bird 2. Repertoire Explorer - With the White Pieces 3. Search database for this position. Aug-04-23    HeMateMe: Ms. Freeman I've been locked out for a whole week because of Forbidden 403. Can you explain this, please? Aug-04-23    petemcd85: <HeMateMe: Ms. Freeman I've been locked out for a whole week because of Forbidden 403.

I couldn't access the site a couple of months ago using a VPN. Aug-05-23    Susan Freeman: <HMM> I don't understand. I have seen your posts for the last several days. Generally, VPNs are blocked, but CG does make exceptions for trusted members on an individual basis. Aug-05-23    Susan Freeman: <Wilber G> I will check into this. Seems conflicting. Aug-05-23    kingscrusher: A small thing - I am researching the Kings Indian right now and I think it should be : Makogonov system and not "Makagonov" like in the following: King's Indian, Makagonov System (5.h3) (e71) So "Mako"-gonov instead of "Maka"-gonov Aug-05-23    petemcd85: <kingscrusher: Makogonov system and not "Makagonov" like in the following:>Thanks for letting us know, We'll update it as soon as possible Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 445) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 375 OF 445 ·  Later Kibitzing>
