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.

Good luck to all the kids playing at the OYCC in Kitchener this weekend.
If you don't get enough chess this weekend, remember there is next weekend in Mississauga.
Our Mississauga CYCC qualifier is Sunday April 27.
We only have 15 registered to date. :(
Preregistered list at www.miltonchess.ca
Registrations are trickling in. We are at 34 now.
Remember, today is the early registration deadline.
I will be disappointed if we don't reach 50. :(
Please don't make me email everyone again!
The player count stands at 36.
A preregistration list can be found at www.miltonchess.ca
It appears we have enough players for 4 viable sections:
U8, U10, U12, U18 (includes U14 & U16)....
but hopefully we'll get a few more tonight at the Mississauga Junior Club.
We did recently hit a new high attendance record of 154. :)
The late fee is being waived for anyone emailing me by midnight saturday.

It was a light turnout of just 44 kids, but enough for 4 viable sections.
The tournament ran on time, parents were well behaved (lol) and helpful,
no crying kids, so just a wonderful day for everyone.
Trophies were awarded for the top 3 in each section.
The tiebreak system employed was "opposition cumulative scores".
We added two 4th trophies to avoid anyone loosing out on a tiebreak.
Congratulations to the following winners:
Under 8
1st Zack Dinatolo 4.5
2nd Harry Liu 4.0
3rd Shaun Jiang 3.5
Under 10
1st Michael Xie 5.0
2nd Matias Verges 4.0
3rd Rowell Ocampo 3.0
4th Patrick Wojewodka 3.0
1st Vaanie Kathirkamar 4.0
2nd Mahip Singh 4.0
3rd Simon Domenic Santos 4.0
4th Joseph Silva 4.0
Thanks to everyone for participating.
We will post a list of CYCC qualified players as
soon as we can confirm it with the CFC office.
We expect everyone with a score of 2.5 or better will qualify.
Thanks to Gordon Gooding who did a spendid job as chief arbiter.
Thanks to Paul Roschman for onsite registrations, and various
other duties. Thanks to Lynda Lei for helping the new kids with
keeping a scoresheet, and Warren Wong our student volunteer for
helping set up the room.
