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.
Re: Re : Re: Re : Re: World Championship Sochi 2014
Anyone who has money on Anand must have got pretty excited after Carlsen's blunder, 26.Kd2? and let out several choice expletives after Anand's reply, 26. ...a4? Anand may have thrown away both the game and the match with that one move.
Magnus Carlsen won a dramatic sixth game at the world championship match in Sochi, Russia. In a better ending he blundered, but Viswanathan Anand did not see it. The score is 3.5-2.5; game six will be played on Monday
Online Comments
- Carlsen was fantastic today. Clearly the better player. They both made one blunder, and unfortunately for Anand, he was the one who made it later.
- I don't know if Anand can recover from this, this is probably going to be like last time after a tough loss Anand completely unraveled.
- Unbelievable! What a game! And the post game press conference was unreal to watch.
Vishy quote..."when you're not expecting a gift...sometimes you just don't take it..."
The old boy looked devastated.
- Everyone here in Norway almost fell off their chairs when they saw the stockfish analysis from 26. Kd2, and everyone were similarly relieved when Anand didn't see the correct continuation.
- 26. Kd2?? and then 26. ...a4??
26. ...Nxe5+ 27. Rxg8 Nxc4+ 28. Kd3 Nxb2+ 29. ...Rxg8 wins for Anand !
- Brutal! You hate to see a game like this, especially for the world championship. I hope Vishy can recover.

LOL. Is this already the worst WC match ever?
Only the rushing is heard...
Onward flies the bird.
I have to think that Vishy had already decided to try a4 (not even sure why, but that is another issue) and he must have mentally 'assumed' Carlsen moved Kd1 and just automatically replied as he intended. Only then did he realize that Carlsen had blundered and put the king on d2. Shame really, but the over dramatic reaction by the peanut gallery is not warranted. It will be hard for Anand to recover in such a short match but the blunderfest is not his biggest problem: his poor choice of openings and match strategy (and lack of determination) is killing him.
The level of play is incredibly high and only the all-seeing eye of the computer can make the players look like fools.
The reverse is also true. The all-seeing eye of the computer can make a fool look like a player.
Most players, without computer aid, would not spot most of the errors which occur. The players do their best without computer aid and the match is not boring.
Re: Re : Re: Re : Re: World Championship Sochi 2014
Carlsen's body language after Anand played 26. ...a4?? rather speaks volumes. The 'Hindustan Times' features a short (1:44) video of the "monumental blunder" and counter-blunder.
