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.

The players for WYCC in Russia are:
1, Eugene Hua U14 - official player
2, Caleb Petersen U16 - official player
3, Michael Song U18 - official player
4, Rachel Tao U18 G - official player
5, Maili-Jade Ouillet U14 G - official player
6, James Li U16 - additional player
Do you know why we don't have U16 G official player?
We have many worthy girls in this category, starting with Qiyu Zhou...
In cases like this where none of the prospective players attended CYCC there is not normally support for an airline ticket. It is a bit much to ask someone like Qiyu to take almost two weeks from school for the olympiad and then another two weeks for WYCC. Not too many schools would accept that many absences. She has been playing in tournaments in Europe for much of the summer. Maili-Jade played in quite a number of the summer tournaments, in the under 16 Olympiad, she's playing in NAYCC and will be going to the Olympiad and WYCC. That is a very tough schedule.
Always hilarious to see coaching staff decisions for Team Canada at the WYCC. The only thing these two individuals must have that I don't in terms of credentials is the desire to work for less, or for free.
You'd think coaching for 3 years in a row would at least get you consideration.

Well in the case of Alexander he has the FIDE trainer credential which means we don't have to pay for hotel and food so we don't have to deal with half a dozen emails from the FIDE trainers commission and the FIDE office threatening to lock you out of the playing hall and other dire consequences. In addition transportation is almost negligible since he is based in Moscow. Also having a native Russian speaker as a coach at a tournament in Russia is not without its advantages.
If you put an application in you would have been accepted as you would have been the second most qualified applicant. With all the tournaments going on there are lots of opportunities and your application would always be viewed favourably by this CFC administration despite the complaining on chesstalk.

Alex has a history of having a short temper and causing public disturbances in playing halls, so his selection is certainly a bit strange in that regard. I understand that he is cheaper for many reasons.
On May 5th, 2016 I have an email record to the CFC stating my interest in the position, so there is no if I submitted an application.
It's strange that after 3 years of coaching the WYCC in a row, that I'm not contacted or at least considered out of courtesy.
The coaches are grandmaster Alexander Cherniaev and FIDE master Alejandro Jardines who lives in BC.
So is GM Cherniaev the coach for the U12-U18 players (6) in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia and also for the U8-U12 players (15) in Batumi, Georgia with FM Jardines?

Yes though it is U14-U18 in Khanty-Mansiysk unless a sibling is going.
