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

* 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.
Yifan Hou is now a perfect +10, -0, =14 in her 3 World Championship matches. In 2011 she defeated Humpy Koneru +3, -0, =5. Two years later, in 2013, she trounced Anna Ushenina +4, -0, =3. And now she adds a +3, -0, =6 score against Mariya Muzychuk.
It seems pretty clear she is in a class by herself (perhaps only Judith Polgar could come close?). What I like about her is she is fearless - a very handy skill.
Contrary to some opinions , I believe that the gap between Hou Yifan and the other top women is, if anything, increasing.
She is a fantastic player who is still improving and you have to go down to the 15th player in the FIDE top 100 women to find a player younger than her (another Chinese: Lei, Tingjie).
Yes, Mariya Muzychuk might do better if they played another match; after all this was the first she played and match play is different. On the other hand, despite apparently having had the benefit of special openings preparation (including having her games in the 2015 Ukraine Championship kept secret), when she was on her own out of prep she was unable to make count any of the advantages that she obtained.
Perhaps the Italian and Catalan were poor choices but a lot of top GMs play those lines. Probably a lot of effort went into preparing stuff against the Sicilian but since Hou Yifan took and maintained the lead without having to risk a Sicilian this became irrelevant. Also whenever a situation became critical, Hou Yifan just played better.
On the other hand, not only is the strongest female player approaching Judit Polgar's peak but also the depth of women's chess is becoming impressive.
Neither Yifan Hou nor Mariya Muzychuk have received their awards yet ...
Following the Championship Match, the Ukrainian Federation has been sanctioned for failing to pay a debt of 60,000 Euros to FIDE. It could be quite serious if it isn't sorted out ...(quotes are translated/edited and therefore a little clumsy)
The Federation of Ukrainian chess sanctioned
All the players and all the chess players ukrainians find themselves without elo rating and therefore cannot play anymore in the official tournaments. Following the recent game for the world title female between mariya muzychuk and yifan hou, the Ukrainian has not only lost her crown, but also his elo rating system.
The International Federation of chess just put Ukraine on the official list of "Non-classified" http://ratings.fide.com/arrears.phtml due to the non-payment of a debt in the amount of 60.000 euros for the organization of the championship game of the world to lviv . Thus, until the debt is paid, all chess players ukrainians cannot take part in competitions recognized by the fide, as the next European Championships individual (men and women) to be held in may, and if the Situation does not change, the national teams of Ukraine will not be admitted to the olympiad of baku in the month of September. According to the report of the game, the budget of lviv was 405.000 euros and to this day the fide has received only 345.000 euros of the organizers. Neither Yifan Hou nor Mariya Muzychuk have received their awards yet.
I hope it gets worked out. Ukrainian players won't be able to play without a rating, and that includes the upcoming Olympiad in Baku, Azerbaijan in September 2016, etc.

La Fédération Ukrainienne des Échecs sanctionnée
Toutes les joueuses et tous les joueurs d'échecs ukrainiens se retrouvent sans classement Elo et ne peuvent donc plus jouer dans les tournois officiels. Suite au récent match pour le titre mondial féminin entre Mariya Muzychuk et Yifan Hou, l'Ukrainienne a non seulement perdu sa couronne, mais aussi son classement Elo.
La Fédération Internationale des Échecs vient de placer l'Ukraine sur la liste officielle des "Non classée" http://ratings.fide.com/arrears.phtml en raison du non-paiement d'une dette d'un montant de 60.000 euros pour l'organisation du match du Championnat du Monde à Lviv. Ainsi, jusqu'à ce que la dette soit payée, tous les joueurs d'échecs ukrainiens ne peuvent prendre part aux compétitions reconnues par la FIDE, comme le prochain championnats d' Europe individuels (hommes et femmes) qui se tiendra en mai et, si la situation ne change pas, les équipes nationales d'Ukraine ne seront pas admises à l'Olympiade de Bakou au mois de septembre. Selon le rapport du match, le budget de Lviv était de 405.000 euros et à ce jour la FIDE n'a reçu que 345.000 euros des organisateurs. Ni Yifan Hou, ni Mariya Muzychuk n'ont encore reçu leur prix.
