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.
Does a berth in round 4 get an additional $20K or an additional amount to total $20K? And so on?
A berth in R4 gets you an additional $16,000 ($12,800 after the 20% FIDE tax). If you make it out of R4 to R5 you get an additional $25,000 ($20,000 after the 20% FIDE tax). There is a substantial prize fund for each round as identified in the Wiki link supra. The total prize fund is $1,600,000

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you have written, but this seems incorrect.
"Round 1 64 × US $6,000 US $384,000" Therefore, the 64 players who lose in round one get $6K (minus FIDE's 20%). There is no mention of the 64 winners getting any of this.
"Round 2 32 × US $10,000 US $320,000" Therefore, the 32 players who lose in round two get $10K (minus FIDE's 20%). There is no mention of the 32 winners getting any of this.
Since Anton has made it to round three he gets $16K minus 20%. He doesn't get money from rounds one and two otherwise it would say 128xUS$6000, etc. No?

Tom, the 64 winners from R1 all won $6,000 ($4,800 after the 20% FIDE tax). The 64 losers got nothing. The 32 winners from R2 all won $10,000 ($8,000 net). Again, the 32 losers got nothing except their R1 winnings. Thus the 32 who make it to R3 have won $16,000 ($12,800 net) from their R1 and R2 victories. In R3 there will be 16 winners who get an additional $16,000 ($12,800 net). Thus, Anton Kovalov has won $12,800 (net) for his R1 and R2 wins and will double this figure if he manages to prevail against Caruana.
Tom had it right Jack, you are wrong. I don't know about Wikipedia, I go by the FIDE Handbook. If Anton loses to Caruana, he comes home with $12,800 minus personal expenses.

How am I wrong, Hal, when I said Anton has won $12,800 ($4,800 for his R1 win and $8,000 for his R2 win) to date and is playing for an additional $12,800 against Caruana? You might want to read my post again.

The losers from round one didn't get nothing. They got $4800 each.

I guess I'll eat some Corvus now since FIDE (3.9) does indicate the $4,800 and $6,000 is paid out to the losers. Of course, the winners are guaranteed winning no less than this amount so that is why Hal's and my $12,800 figure are one in the same.
Congratulations, Anton, on a good result in the World Cup. All the best on rising toward the 2700 line in the coming year, assisted by my friend---and academic paper co-author!---Bartek Macieja.
Tom, the 64 winners from R1 all won $6,000 ($4,800 after the 20% FIDE tax). ...(etc.)
According to the official website, there is no FIDE tax.
The players are getting 100% of their prizes, not 80% as most are quoting. This is because the Organizers paid the FIDE share on top of the Prize Fund.
