General Guidelines

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.
At a few tournaments I've attempted to write down the opening names of the players in the open section (not any move or anything that can be mis-perceived as analysis) on a blank piece of paper.
I was reviewing the rules here: http://www.fide.com/component/handbo...4&view=article (not sure if these are current rules or not) and I can't see any reason why this would be not allowed (I remember a famous grandmaster of the past either Tartakower or Tarrasch did a similar thing at the beginning of each round).
The closest rule I could find was
12.3
During play the players are forbidden to make use of any notes, sources of information or advice, or analyse on another chessboard
However I don't believe writing opening names should count as this due to the lack of impact it would have in my game and they aren't pre-made notes or anything like that.
So are my actions illegal under FIDE or CFC rules?
A variation on your query is whether it's even legal to write down on your scoresheet the name of the opening you think is being used in your own game, while it's in progress. Many scoresheets provide a space to write down such. Also, a player might punctuate an opponent's move with a question mark (happened once, I vaguely recall) - bad form, at the very least, I'd say.

A few Canadian Opens ago my friend was stopped from writing the clock time on his score sheet by an arbiter (after opponent complained). This is no longer illegal. The rules use the word "relevant" which I would interpret as allowing opening name writing.
12.3

IMHO
Any notes means any notes LOL To avoid a control what you are writing it is better forbid writing at all thus any notes except a scoresheet.
Even writing your game opening on your scoresheet is not allowed in general. If the scoresheet has no line for that, then this information is irrelevant to the property holder ("The scoresheet shall be used only for recording the moves, the times of the clocks, offers of a draw, matters relating to a claim and other relevant data." and "8.3 The scoresheets are the property of the organiser of the competition.")

This rule forbids making USE of any notes, not making them. Therefore, making notes is not illegal.
Of course, since making notes is not expressly stated as being legal either, an arbiter could reasonably prohibit note taking under other sections (e.g. if it was deemed to be distracting or annoying to the opponent).
I seem to recall that at one point they were considering banning players from looking at other games which would really be difficult to enforce at a tournament.

It is a completely different situation looking at past notes written for analysis purposes, and just writing down opening names.
Seeing what happened to So today I suggest you don't write down opening names Adam!
Giving yourself personal advice of how to handle yourself in a game is a bit different from my situation, however I believe So should have been allowed to do that as it does not count as chess analysis in any way, but I guess FIDE rules are against me here too.
