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.
Can anyone help me with some information? I have a hazy memory of attending a baseball game between the International League All-Stars and the Brooklyn Dodgers at Delormier Stadium around 1956. I can't trace the game via GOOGLE, but, am not sure how to use the keywords to get any results.
If you are aware of any information on this game, I would appreciate a URL.
There was the Hector Racine Memorial night at De Lorimier stadium on the 13th of June 1956. Many Brooklyn Dodgers executives attended because Racine had ties with them.
It's not like I was there or anything, but that might be the game you're looking for.
Re: Montreal Royals Baseball... (Not chess related)
The June 13, 1956 game was a regular game (Richmond 6, Royals 2) with a memorial plaque being presented by O'Malley. See the Montreal "Gazette" of June 14, 1956, page 41.
It looks like the game you were at may have been on August 19, 1957, in which the Dodgers beat the All-stars 2-1 in 11 innings (in Montreal). Again - the "Gazette" of the following day has a complete report.

Thank you both. Interesting reading and the score and # of innings was my memory, so that is the game. Amazing what one remembers from childhood almost 60 years ago. I appreciate this!
Re: Montreal Royals Baseball... (Not chess related)
I remember my dad taking my brother and I to see the Toronto Maple Leafs AAA ball club at the Maple Leaf Stadium at the foot of Bathurst Street in Toronto. This would have been in the mid-1960s. The team was the farm club of the Boston Red Sox at the time, I believe, and I remember Willie Horton playing and Dick Williams managing the club. Much earlier in time there was a ballpark on Toronto Island, and this is where Babe Ruth hit his first professional home run! But I am not that old.
Re: Montreal Royals Baseball... (Not chess related)
You guys who had Triple A ball had it good. Our Winnipeg Goldeyes, whom I like going to watch back then, were C ball for awhile and then Single A. They were the St. Louis farm team. Not many make it to the big show from those teams but some did.
Some of the other teams were St. Cloud, Minot and a few other cities in the U.S. I forget them all.
