Rejected, due to lack of text.> I can manually enter the pun for tomorrow's GotD if you'd like.      Mar-03-25 stevemcd87 chessforum    stevemcd87: <Stone> We've removed the short name logic from the gameloader. <Could it be that it only works when DOB and DOD are known?> Yes. Are there players where that logic doesn't work? <Doesn't work anymore after FIDE has changed the url lookup of players.> Working ...      Dec-27-24 Susan Freeman chessforum    stevemcd87: <fredthebear: What is the reason for the Analysis function to remain disabled? Did an operator get fired? What is the prognosis?> Sorry for the delay. It seems we're in the home stretch now. stevemcd87 chessforum      Nov-26-24 Ding Liren vs D Gukesh, 2024    stevemcd87: Ding pushed his a-pawn into enemy territory before move 10 again. It seemed to have worked well for him yesterday.      Sep-16-24 Rapport vs D Gukesh, 2024    stevemcd87: Here's a similar game where white wins: N Abasov vs R Sadhwani, 2022      Sep-12-24 V Stefansson vs D Gukesh, 2024    stevemcd87: Lichess is down      Apr-22-24 R Shcherbakov vs V Isupov, 1990    stevemcd87: White to play 48. ? [DIAGRAM] My original thought: 48. Qh7+ Rg7 49. dxe6+ Kf8 50. Qh8+ Rg8 51. Qxf6+ Ke8 52. Rd8# Another variation if 49... Kxe6 instead of 49... Kf8: 48. Qh7+ Rg7 49. dxe6+ Kxe6 50. Qxg7 g4 51. Qd7+ Ke5 52. Qd6+ Kf5 53. Rd5+ Kg6 54. Rg5+ Kf7 55. Qd5+ Ke8 56.      Apr-20-24 Nepomniachtchi vs Nakamura, 2024    stevemcd87: <whiteshark: What about the other boards?> Praggnanandhaa vs Caruana?      Apr-17-24 D Gukesh vs Caruana, 2024    stevemcd87: At move 28, Gukesh has about 1 minute per move to make it to time control. Can he make it without any mistakes? [DIAGRAM]      Apr-15-24 Nakamura vs N Abasov, 2024    stevemcd87: At move 29, I'm somewhat surprised to see SF prefers for white to exchange rooks rather than Bh7 to get a rook for a bishop.
