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.

1 Audrey Siahou BYE
I'd like to thank several people who provided time and money to support Canadian girls' chess:
- Andrei Botez, who helped to negotiate Canada's inclusion in the Susan Polgar Foundation qualifiers, and who will be serving as Arbiter at the Invitational event in St. Louis.
- Larry Bevand, who generously offered to have Chess 'n Math run qualifiers in Canada, and is providing free round trip air fare to the regional qualifiers in Canada.
- Vadim Tsypin, who is leading the initiative to hold annual qualifiers in Quebec and Ontario.
- Francis Rodrigues, who organized the Toronto qualifier on Saturday (and was right back at it running the Ontario school team championships on Sunday).
- Mario Moran-Venegas, who ran a very smooth Toronto qualifier as TD (and was TD at the Sunday event too).
As they say, it takes a village to raise a child, or in this case, to support their chess.
News from the event in St. Louis from Andrei Botez:
Hello,
Round one finished 5 min ago, both girls won!! Linda was the second last to finish from entire round 1. They did great in in Bughouse, their team finished on 5th spot!
In the puzzle competition, Linda finished on 9-11 place with 57 points using all 30 minutes and Yi Lin on 13th place with 56 points in 17:32 min.
7-15 Rebecca G. (ON), Yi Lin L.(QC), Cynthia C (NB), Andrea B (BC) all with 4 points
16-30 Mathanhe K (ON), Linda S (QC) both with 3.5 points
31-39 Shi Yuan (Sherry) T. (BC) and Sydney M. both with 3 points.
Tournament has 4 co-champions from USA, Ecuador, Cuba and Latvia - all with 5 points.
Congratulation to our girls and hope to see more Canadian participation next year and of course I am hoping to see as soon as possible the first Canadian girl to win this even.
