 | | fredthebear: <Sep-29-24 perfidious: I have never observed deception or malice in <zed>'s use of sockies,> Two old partners in tyrannical sadism working the system, one for the other as a falsifying witness, pretending in the biggest way to be honest. Every regular reader knows 1000x better. These troublemakers live to habitually harass other members non-stop, day-after-week-after-month-after-year-after- decade ... on and on and on it goes. The games of chess don't matter to them. It's unimaginable that an unabashed liar retains editorial privileges and yet slanders members with mischaracterizations on a daily basis and CGs fails to remove such fabricated attacks nor the attacker. For some, it would seem odd that zanzibar returned after a short "hiatus", started making demands, but has never bothered to pay for a membership. It's just one big never-ending con game with these two. Remember when zanzibar pretended not to be Z free legend 000000010 and whatever other sockie put to use that month??? Z claimed to have invented the Railroad checkmate that is hundreds of years old. Z even recruited enemies to join in harassing BP!! All that non-sense is not forgotten. Next week or next month, Z will want to switch to something else and ask for something else that other paying members don't get. The manipulation, harassment, dishonesty, and ordering others about just never stops. Let's not forget the glutinous trash posting. Z whips out four posts in this forum on the 29th. That's just a warmup for what we're in for. The pause, the silence was most refreshing. |

Signifying nothing.
<The pause, the silence was most refreshing.> Despite not posting, I was still observing. Let's not belie how peaceful or refreshing the hiatus was - as in bearly many boorish dustups. |

Sep-30-24 | | stone free or die: As far as RRM - Railroad Mates - it's just a little over ten years old: https://old.chesstempo.com/chess-fo... Some people have trouble distinguishing the naming of a tactic (and it's publication in the literature) vs. it's first recorded example in a game. Now, I'm still looking for an example, in the literature, of the <Mayet Mate>. That is, other than Renaud and Kahn (p107): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check... (As I've said elsewhere - R&K didn't exactly spell it out in adequate detail to distinguish it properly from other mates, imo (and iirc)) |

Not subject to demand, sure, but how is not valid a premium member make some criticism to that ? please let go off his bullets..Embarrassing. |

 | | HeMateMe: I keep logging off and getting the message here "You are now logged off..." but when I start my computer the next day a message here pops up "You are already logged on..." Is this a problem with my personal computer or does this have something to do with the Chessgames site? Not that anything I type is super important, but I do like to know if I am or am not logged off a web site. |

<The Integrity [huh?!]> What a sad state of affairs we have here on the Rogoff page, what with these vulgar, nasty, profane libs, who have no filter, no shame, and no decency. Well, what else should we expect from these godless animals?> Kenneth Rogoff (kibitz #68855) <<The Integrity [not!]><CG member>'s wife is not off limits, so feel free to make sport of her. I say this because <CG member> condones <X's> and <Y's> brand of personal invective. He refuses to rebuke them, so that means he approves of this sort of language and style of attack. Therefore, feel free to talk about <CG member>'s wife, if she swallows, if she sucks kangaroo cock, and if she's been getting rammed by black guys down at the bar.> [Names changed to protect the not-always-so-innocent] Kenneth Rogoff (kibitz #68983) Just want to make sure <Susan> is OK with this sort of stuff on <CG>. Oh, and <MissScarlett> too, who lobbied with such unflagging diligence to bring <The Integrity> back into the community. |

 | | FSR: I just accidentally submitted a nonexistent game Muelner-Regner. Please delete it. |
|
Oct-03-24
 | | Stonehenge: There are two versions:
Otto Regner Should they both be deleted? |
|
Oct-03-24
 | | FSR: <Stonehenge> No. Just delete the one I submitted: K Meulner vs O Regner, 1987. I was using the original, real game as a template, and inadvertently submitted K Meulner vs O Regner, 1987 without changing the names and other game information. |

Can you please make two tids out of this:
HZ Open (1998). |

 | | Stonehenge: <<Main editors> now have the ability to update player ratings. On a player page, scroll down to the "Player Rating Update" section.> I need to put some ratings on zero (mix-up with another player with the same name) but that doesn't seem to be possible. |

 | | MissScarlett: <Despite this, Crowther remains frustrated by the lack of direct support from some businesses that use TWIC’s database. While he provides an invaluable service, not all chess companies have offered compensation or advertising in return. "TWIC material seems to be used by more and more businesses. I wish they did think about it and actually gave me some money... You are supposed to play fair in this space. If you wake up one morning and find that I’m not there, it might affect your business."> https://www.chess.com/news/view/mar... I don't think he includes <cg> in this, because if he does, he ought to know that <cg> doesn't have any money either. |

 | | fredthebear: FTB ponders what if you stopped volunteering your life away, could you get paid for your duties? Maybe Crowther needs a hand. How does CGs fight lawsuits if it has no money? Or, perhaps the lawsuits are the reason we have no money? Maybe there should be more advertising on the Doll page?? I would allow tasteful advertising (one-piece bikinis w/no zippers down the front, no see-throughs; no smokes, alcohol, drugs, or political ads, no flames, skulls, or satanic messaging) on my personal forum for a mere 15% of the ad charges. That's less than FTB usually tips for good service. Use of centaurs, hybrids, gargoyles, eels, snakes, or bears will be an additional 10% for each. Any visible tattoos, body piercings, or photoshopped images must receive my prior approval. Who's the business manager? Is she rich, attractive, or just educated? Does she believe in Daylight Savings Time, Sasquatch or the Turk? What aps does she use the most? Does she think Hunter B., Donald T., or "Diddy" Combs is innocent of all charges? Is she a fan of Britney Spears? This person really should post a biography page to put readers at ease. |
