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.
Round 1 of the World Youth Chess Championships (WYCC) in Halkidiki, Greece, started half an hour ago.
Follow this Chess-Results link to view Team Canada members, their progress, and individual pairings all on one page.
A number of Canadian games are currently broadcast live. The 2014 Girls U-14 World Champion Qiyu Zhou advanced to Girls U-16, and starts on Board 1. In Girls U-14, Constance Wang is up against a strong U.S. player. Shawn Rodrigue-Lemieux and Luke Pulfer are in Open U-12. Jason Cai is in Open U-14. Razvan Preotu has the third highest rating in Open U-16, his game is here. Adam Dorrance's - in Open-U18.
Good luck to all Canadian players, parents and coaches, led by HOD Victoria Jung-Doknjas!

Reason: Desperate attempt to fix a year in the title. Mods, pls help!
Three Canadian girls (Qiyu Zhou, Maili-Jade Ouellet, Jezzel Farkas) and two boys (Aiden Zhou, Nameer Issani) maintain a perfect score of 2/2 after two rounds of the 2015 WYCC. Congratulations. Everyone else is still pretty much in the mix. Go Team Canada!
Reminder: past results, standings and current pairings for all our players can be accessed here.

The USCF site features this article and a photo. Sasha Konovalenko, a dual U.S.-Canadian citizen who played in all CYCCs through 2014, chose to represent the USA on the world stage.
There are 64 players on the Canadian team. I suspect you missed the "show all results" button at the bottom of the list.
Yes, I missed the "show all results" but even after clicking that I got again 56 players:

Nah, I ain't that dumb. There were 58 players originally, + 6 coaches, and I remember thinking, that's a promising total. Janet Peng and (I think) Joey Zhong couldn't make it, and even if we add Victoria as HOD that's only 63 total. Maybe we could recruit the janitor, or something.
Thank you Egis! You inspired me to make a per capita table (population in mln).
