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.
I had planned to make a file of all of Canada's games, but there appear to be many games missing. It turns out there are only 4 games from each round for the U08 sections; 12 games from each of the U10, U12, U14, U16(g), and U18(g) sections, and 18 from each of the U16(b) and U18(b) sections. We'll wait and see if other games are entered eventually - probably there were limitations due to the number of DGT boards available?

Gold =5 Silver=3 Bronze=3!! @fidewycc2015 Total domination by Indians!!! Proud of them. Wishing them a bright future ahead!
Amazing one third of all medals by India and almost one half of the gold medals!!!! I wonder what year they will reach 100 grandmasters? - probably very soon. Other surprises Russia and US (only 4 medals and no gold) and China only one medal.

Yes, this was the first year when the USCF dropped all qualification requirements to participate in the WYCC. Any family that paid a fee to the federation could have a child going to Greece, which resulted in an eye-popping number of 129 players.

Reason: Grammar.

USA 129 players, eye popping yes, but I would argue Canada’s 56 is even more so for a nation one-tenth the population. No medals, but a very respectable team score of 49%. Not cannon fodder, but a competitive and motivated group challenging the best in the world. Well done Kids!
And we should not forget the Canadian chess community, players, volunteers, coaches, parents, and officials that made it all possible. Thanks.
Please forgive my inclination to be a cheerleader. I know the popular thing to do is to complain endlessly about the sad state of affairs of chess in Canada. Occasionally, I think we should acknowledge our achievements.

We can't expect to win a world championship every year. Congratulations to all the kids and parents on a job well done.

Let me add thanks to Victoria Jung-Doknjas for, in addition to her duties as Canada's Head of Delegation, keeping keeping us long-distance fans in Canada supplied with photos on the CFC facebook page.
