| Nov-08-12 | | Alien Math: <jessicafischerqueen> Have visited sites the Vesti TV channel, the Interfax news agency, the URA.ru portal, and the online newspapers Vzglyad and Gazeta.ru? Kaspersky Lab detects virus attacks on Russian online media Their websites were contaminated with the Lurk virus, a malicious Trojan Horse code that redirected users to a dangerous Internet domain in order to steal their confidential data. About 1,500 users per day were exposed to Lurk. http://english.ruvr.ru/2012_11_08/K...

 | | Annie K.: <Jess> on important TOP SECRET news, here's this week's horoscope: the stars notified me (by email) that an auspicious movement of Mysterious Booklets has occurred, wherein all four have become perfectly aligned in the Publishing House. This signifies great wealth and prosperity, mostly of the obscure information kind. PS - I have of course ordered them at once. ;D |

| Nov-09-12 | | crawfb5: <Jess with the Coupe de Villes> Two links to check periodically: 1) New Tournaments -- at the bottom under <TOURNAMENTS ADDED BY MEMBER NOMINATION> are the "new" historical tournament pages. 2) Tournament Index -- links to tournament pages, arranged chronologically, so what would be of most interest would be on the first few pages. |

| Nov-09-12 | | Alien Math: Google Search Blocked in China; Likely Over Party Congress
'No coincidence' it was blocked on second day of Party Congress “The subdomains www.google.com, mail.google.com, google-analytics.com, docs.google.com, drive.google.com, maps.google.com, play.google.com and perhaps many more are all currently DNS poisoned in China,” it continued. < https://en.greatfire.org/blog/2012/... > “Visits by Chinese users won’t be tracked by Google anymore. Foreign websites using Google Analytics to track their visitors will currently track 0 users coming from China, whether or not their website itself is blocked,” Greatwall said.

| Nov-12-12 | | Travis Bickle: Hi Jess, how ya been? |
|
Nov-13-12
 | | jessicafischerqueen: <The Deffi of Madras> Yes, good idea! I actually whipped up a lesson on that thanks to your timely telling me about it. How do you feel about the popular "Indian Style" version? Many parodies of a song that was a parody to begin with. |

| Nov-13-12 | | crawfb5: <Jess> It took less than 12 hours to be voted in. Budapest (1921)
I improved the crosstable formatting, but haven't done anything else. If you have suggestions for the introduction, let me know and I can edit it. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Hanh> thanks for warnings and computer info on Russia sites, and also for good link to SANDS article. He actually has read Edward Winter, first time I seen his name mentioned in a newspaper story eh? |
|
| Nov-13-12 | | Alien Math: Appear the Russia sites are repaired from viruses, if visit the sites around when noted, might scan computer for possible viruses or. Was neat to see Edward Winter name in newspaper story |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <In a Big Hurry> Thank you so much~! You know when Daniel comes up with a great idea and then involves all of his hardy volunteer staff in the realization of that idea, the results can be spectacularly great. I think this is one of those times. What a great Commander in Chief. Kind of makes me feel guilty for hysterically yelling at him so often. This feature is only at our website and it's because Daniel was smart enough to put the right volunteers on the case, and because of the years of dedicated hard work the volunteers have put into enriching this website. This place is now a chess historian's dream.
I think we should all take the day off work and get drunk. Looks like I picked a bad decade to quit drinking and get a real job. |

| | jessicafischerqueen: <Big> would you please nominate this one next? Game Collection: Mannheim 1914 - the unfinished tournament Remember some time ago we had a discussion of the three missing games here in your forum? They are probably lost forever.
One more thing- I noticed that in a few of the new collections, the missing games render the flagship tournament standings inaccurate. Only the crosstable is accurate in these cases.
But some of the crosstables don't have the printed order of finish, as in 1,2,3 and so on, with the points as well. I think that's crucial, so punters can see at a glance where people finished. We don't want people to have to do actual calculation of a crosstable to see the exact results. It's bad enough that existing technology forces us to list an inaccurate tournament result due to missing games. |
|
Nov-13-12
| | jessicafischerqueen: <Big> would you please nominate this one as well? Game Collection: USSR Championship 1920 <Alekhine's> last tournament in Russia. I have loads of rare material about this one. |
|
Nov-13-12
| | jessicafischerqueen: For example, <PB and J> notes that many of the games are missing. One of the reasons for this may have been that there was almost no paper available in Russia. Astonishing- yet true. Alekhine received a certificate printed on a dried herring. |
|
| Nov-13-12 | | Travis Bickle: Jess you have been here today like in the old days! Are you playing hooky? |
