| | Stonehenge: <Steve>
Can you make three tids out of this (1991, 2000 and 2001)? Politiken Cup (1991). |
|
Sep-07-24
| | Stonehenge: Thanks again :) |
|
Sep-11-24
 | | MissScarlett: Steve, can you cover the Olympiad uploads (for the open and women's events)? There will be something like 650 games per day. |
|
Sep-18-24
| | MissScarlett: Steve, need a pun selection list reboot. Cancel everything except the last, i.e., Wednesday's GOTD should be <1830035|Mabedi Mbo|V Exler|The Exlercist (HeMateMe)> |

 | | stevemcd87: <Main Editors> can now upload a event's round directly from TWIC, useful for events with larger PGN files. In the editor page, after clicking "Show Submissions", you can find an "Upload a round from TWIC" section. It's probably best to wait for all games in the round to have completed before uploading them. |

| | MissScarlett: Will it process an entire tournament in one go? |
|
Sep-22-24
| | stevemcd87: <MissS>
Currently, it requires us to specify a round to process. Perhaps we can update the feature in the near but there would most likely need to be size limitations. |

 | | saffuna: Can you please take So-Wei Yi off of "live game" mode so we can replay and comment normally? |
|
| Sep-23-24 | | zanzibar: My dear friend <stone free or die> has asked me to inquire why his/her account has been disabled. Is the reason the season?
Could <CG> please reenable it? |
|
Sep-23-24
 | | Susan Freeman: <zanzibar> Off hand it might be due to pultiple accounts and sock puppets. Not a big deal, really. all you need is one. I will ask Steve. |
|
| Sep-25-24 | | zanzibar: <<Susan> Off hand it might be due to pultiple accounts and sock puppets.> Oh the pultiples of love!
(pultiple will be our own secret pismortality)

https://www.straightdope.com/213421... For the record -
Unlike the <Big Pawn / George Wallace / The Integrity [sic]> constellation, I've never used sock puppets for posting purposes. In my case they're aliases, whose purposes most assuredly aren't dissimulation nor echo-vexation. (Though I do admit to the occasional bout of satirical whimsy) |

 | | fredthebear: Let's examine... the noisy return of the troll master. Not so much as a "hello all." Surely, it's no coincidence that the 504s came roaring back as well. chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #41671)
The first post Sep-23-24 was a lie, and an attempt at manipulation. Check. chessgames.com chessforum (kibitz #41673)
The second post Sep-25-24 was an attack on another member, and a raging aliases lie way, way over the top. Check. Silence broken. Nothing changed whatsoever. As if that scratchy record never stopped playing, we hear the same old, same ol' scam... "Hello darkness, my old fiend
I'm about to be harassed again
Because a hellion returning, creeping
Left its lies while I was sleeping
And the vehemence that was splayed in refrain
Still remains
Within the shattering of slience"

| Sep-26-24 | | zanzibar: CG - Where's <stone free or die>'s old profile? You know, the old that mentioned this player's page: Bang Which has a rather nice and extensive collection of great tactical problems. |
|
| Sep-27-24 | | zanzibar: Would <CG> please enable my two alternative accounts - as I requested in my email? As a reminder - Susan explicitly stated once upon a time that we can have three accounts. Please allow me remind you of some of the reasons for having multiple accounts... • <(1) It was a well established practice of Daniel to allow multiple accounts for constructive purposes (continue reading...)> • <(2) I would like to firewall the <zanzibar> account for mostly biographical purposes (and emergency use for communicating if other accounts are locked out).> • <(3) Secondary accounts may be used to address users which a primary account has put on ignore. This is what I mean by firewalling - avoiding debates in one forum spilling over to another.> To elaborate, I'm asking for one account for serious biographical work (<zanzibar>), one general account (<stone free or die>) for general <CG> exchanges, and a third account mostly designed for use on <Rogoff> (<guess who?>). This seems to be a good formula. (It would be nice to have an account which isn't dogged by nefarious cross-topic posting, or interfering interlopers (e.g. see preceding post just above)). Ideally the identity of the accounts would not be made public to avoid cross-contamination (and dog-pack attacks). It's too late in my case, but consider Daniel's <chessgames> and <sneaky> accounts. Alias accounts, if properly utilized, would be constructive and hopefully lead to less dust-ups on the forums, unlike sock puppet accounts (see next post). (Now, I think <Daniel> accidentally stumbled onto this formula since <sneaky> was originally a shilling account - albeit a useful and understandable one at the time) |
|
| Sep-27-24 | | zanzibar: Remember, I'm asking for <alias> accounts, not <sock puppets>. Here is the wiki definition of a <sock>: <A sock puppet is a false online identity used for deceptive purposes.• [1] The term originally referred to a hand puppet made from a sock. Sock puppets include online identities created to praise, defend, or support a person or organization, • [2] to manipulate public opinion,
• [3] or to circumvent restrictions such as viewing a social media account that a user is blocked from. Sock puppets are unwelcome in many online communities and forums.> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sock_... Note the phrase "deceptive". An alias is only deceptive in the sense that it is designed to avoid cross-forum contamination - e.g. allowing someone to engage in politics without attracting dog-pack attacks in different forums. <CG> can monitor the use of aliases to ensure non-abuse. |

 | | perfidious: I have never observed deception or malice in <zed>'s use of sockies, which, however, cannot be said of the kibitzer who made the fly-by to launch another attack against him--his one and only post over the last eight days. As is only too common, that kibitzer launches accusations against others which reflect behaviour in which he constantly indulges, such as lying and slyly making chess posts as a cover, all while throwing in political asides. |
|
| Sep-29-24 | | Keyser Soze: Omg. <Z> the 14 yo 55 yold is still whining? <<chubby gambler>: I have never observed deception or malice > BS. I did have. Also, your only have eyes for big pawn. you can't look anything else. |
|
| Sep-29-24 | | zanzibar: One turn of the phrase deserves another...
<Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.> |
|
| Sep-29-24 | | zanzibar: I have a question for <CG>... Why when I click on the <Kibitzer Cafe> link: The Kibitzer's Café
Am I presented with a page of white space?
I would think the browser would be positioned automatically to the kibitzing section of forum. (Is this the way it's always performed? Somehow I remember differently, but I might be rusty/hazy on this) |
|
| Sep-29-24 | | zanzibar: PS - you could simply change the link to this (just append #kibitzing): The Kibitzer's Café <https://www.chessgames.com> // </perl/chessforum.pl#kibitzing> To obtain the behavior I'm after. |
|
| Sep-29-24 | | zanzibar: Checked on <wayback>, the 2018 version didn't have all that unnecessary whitespace at the top of the page: https://web.archive.org/web/2018050... In which case the <#kibitzing> fragment(*) isn't needed. (*) https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/... |

Sep-30-24
| | Susan Freeman: Thank you <Steve> for making Daniel Freeman the player of the day. Today is his birthday. |
