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.
Check out today's game Wei Yi vs Bruzon at the 6th Hainan Danzhou tournament. Tal-like. 2700chess.com has the game.
Wow! Impressive game.
And I give it bonus points for making stockfish look like a fool on chessbomb.com. Look at the automated analysis. There's a bunch of red moves that have actually no business there.
Chessgames.com has made the Wei Yi - Lazaro Bruzon game their game of the day today (rather fittingly on Adolf Anderssen's 197th birthday, who famously quipped, "Attack! Always attack!") and entitled it "A Long Wei From Home" (:
Wei Yi is certainly epitomizing the spirit of fighting chess in the China vs Russia match. Through 4 rounds he has yet to draw a game, winning 3 (2 with Black) and losing 1 (with White to Svidler). His 3/4 gives him a new live rating apex of 2731, currently number 25 in the world and within 10 points of Gelfand, who is holding down the 17 spot. Here's his win with White today against Daniil Dubov:
Forget waiting 5 years for 2020. Kevin Spraggett opines that Wei Yi is "a reincarnation of Bobby Fischer" and "is ALREADY the strongest player in the world (!)".
Wei Yi's recent lack of form continues at the Asian Nations Cup 2016 and he has dropped all the way to #50 in the world. Given China currently has 5 players in the top 25, one has to wonder if Wei Yi will even be part of China's 2016 Olympiad team. He was the #5 board on their 2014 gold medal winning team.
This is all part of the evolution of a strong young player. Remember what happened to Richard Rapport? Even Magnus' progress chart was not straight up. We just have to wait for the recovery. (Besides blunder syndrome is part of every chessplayers repertoire!?)

After an analysis of Wei Yi’s games against Thien Hai and Ding Liren, he concludes:
“Of course, many young players start out playing sharply, but between becoming more mature and the hard knocks of experience suffered at the hands of the world’s elite, the usual arc for those young players is to become more stable. Hopefully Wei will not become so stable that he stops winning games of this sort, but if he does, then there will be even greater reasons to celebrate and remember games like the one against Thien. However Wei evolves as a player, it is likely that he will be producing great games for years and even decades to come.”
After losing to the #2 seed India yesterday 2.5 to 1.5 (Black scoring 3.5/4 !), China replaced Wei Yi with Jianchao Zhou (2612) for their R6 match today.
The Asian Men’s Continental Championship 2016 is being contested from May 25 to June 5 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
The top ten players in it, by rating, are: Le Quang Liem, Rustam Kasimdzhanov, Wei Yi, Ni Hua, Baskaran Adhiban, Gujrathi Vidit, Shekhar Ganguly, Abhijeet Gupta, SP Sethuraman and Truong Son Nguyen.
Wei Yi turned 17 today (b. June 2, 1999), beat Kasimdzhanov in his game and now shares the lead in the tournament at 5.5 with Le Quang Liem and Baskaran Adhiban and his live rating is 2706.9.
Asian Men’s Continental Championship 2016
Tashkent, Usbekistan
Round 8, June 2, 2016
Kasimdzhanov, Rustam – Wei Yi
C80 Ruy Lopez, Open, Bernstein Variation
What a nice birthday present to oneself! Happy Birthday Wei Yi! Keep the great games coming. However in this tournament the Indians came thru at the end. I was shocked that Le Quang Liem (a hard as nails grinder) got outplayed in a last round dramatic encounter by GM Sethuraman and Wei Yi looked out of sorts and also lost.
