General Guidelines
---- Nous avons besoin d'un traduction français!
Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings
11. In registering here at ChessTalk please note that the same or similar rules apply here as applied at the previous Boardhost message board. In particular, the following content is not permitted to appear in any messages:
* Racism
* Hatred
* Harassment
* Adult content
* Obscene material
* Nudity or pornography
* Material that infringes intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
* Material the posting of which is tortious or violates a contractual or fiduciary obligation you or we owe to another party
* Piracy, hacking, viruses, worms, or warez
* Spam
* Any illegal content
* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions
* Any material deemed offensive or inappropriate by the Board staff
12. Users are welcome to challenge other points of view and opinions, but should do so respectfully. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.
Advice for free
14. You should exercise the same caution with Private Messages as you would with any public posting.
I should write a book called how to beat an IM in 6 moves!
Today I did just that! I used Alekhine's famous mate on some Egyptian IM and gave him a learning experience he will surely remember for years to come! In game two the game lasted a few moves longer - barely, but when our IM friend dropped a piece he knew who the better blitz player was and resigned accordingly!
That's right. Alex couldn't do/repeat that in a regular game with a normal time to play. There are completely different situation and circumstanses in a regular played game than in such a bullet one.
Long time no see (or hear) Dave. :) When the day comes (if it comes) when you beat an IM someday, I hope you share it with us.
And until this forum gets its own pgn viewer, obviously I have to put the game up somewhere - so OzChess will suffice until then. I also put the owner of this forum in touch with the guy who installed the pgn chess viewer on OzChess, but I guess it wasn't considered a high priority here.
I'll just go on the assumption that this is bullet games and the IM premoves and fails
Premove is a double edge sword, sometimes it buys you valuable time - othertimes it stuffs your position. Its not an excuse for losing, and most people turn the function off.

Its against ICC rules for anyone to lend their account to others.
Alex, you're a joke!
Advantage tells you: l'am different person . lam not that same person ...lam sharing his account
It's also against ICC rules to have two accounts, yours being Just2Good and Advantage. You kind of caught yourself on that linked page to OzChess, where your game is Drk vs. Advantage, but in the left column you state your ICC name is Just2Good.
From reading your original post, I thought you were like 1200, but your two accounts on ICC have ratings over 1900. How sad, you win on time in a completely lost position, and yet you feel compelled to publish it like it's something newsworthy just because your opponent was an IM! lol

No matter how big and bad you are, when a two-year-old hands you a toy phone, you answer it.

Hahahahhahahhahahaha, youre calling this guy a joke? Jordan you are a fat little Internet TROLL. With nothing better to do than try and berate people to make yourself look smarter. Can't look down and see it anymore? Is that what upsets you. I was done with you a while back but this is just to much fun for me to pass up. I see your name and expect nothing more than what you've posted. Another satisfied customer! Hows your brain storm coming along? Was it the 2010 Canadian Closed or Open? LOL in a dream maybe!!!
Thank You For a Good Laugh

Reason: abusive language.

This is nonsensical. Do you have to be so insulting? This site should not be used for this kind of thing, ever. If you don't agree with what someone says on Chesstalk, simply respond constructively. Jordan was just calling it as it is...
Thank you, Gary. It's nice to see someone post a considerate, courteous reaction to Alex's post. The guy beats an IM and, regardless of the circumstances, he's happy about it.....why shouldn't he be? But in typical chesstalk fashion, everyone tries to drill him into the ground.
Congratulations, Alex!! Enjoy your wins.
