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.
15. Have fun!

World Youth U14, U16, U18 Championships 2016 in Khanty-Mansiysk

The system of face identification installed on the venues of the FIDE World Youth Championships 2016
September 19, 2016
"The Leading internet provider of Russia “Rostelecom” will conduct the technical support of the system of face identification, installed by the autonomous institution “UgraMegaSport” on the venues of the FIDE World Youth U14, U16, U18 Championships 2016 in Khanty-Mansiysk.
To ensure the complex security of participants and visitors of the Championships, two checkpoints were installed for the period from September’20 until October’04. One is placed at the main entrance to the Ugra Tennis Center, another one is in hotel “Olympiyskaya”. The face identification system includes hard and software united in a single unique information environment. The system includes four cameras capable to perform identification of 10 000 faces per second.
“To make this project come true “Rostelecom” will provide the technical support of the system of face identification installed on the territories of Ugra Tennis Center and “Olympiyskaya” hotel in Khanty-Mansiysk. To ensure its non-stop work and online data exchange we have organized a special secure communication link with a maximum data transfer speed of 1 Gb per second, – said the director of Khanty-Mansiysk department of Public joint-stock company “Rostelecom” Dmitry Lukoshkov. – Our company has a well-developed telecom infrastructure, big experience and interest in installing and technical support of such complexes on other venues in Ugra. The realization of such projects gives us an opportunity to implement progressive technologies and participate in the social life of our region”.
“One of the key points for us in organizing major international sport events is providing security to their participants and visitors, – informed the executive director of the FIDE World Youth U14, U16, U18 Championships 2016 in Khanty-Mansiysk Valeriy Radchenko. – Modern technologies allow us to reach this goal more effectively. The system makes the work of police and security authorities easier and shortens the time spent on the process of checking people entering public venues. Besides, the system is able to assist in the detection of crimes made in the crowded public areas”.
For the first time the face identification system was installed by “Rostelecom” for the period of BMW IBU Biathlon World Cup Final 2015/16 in the Alexander Filipenko Winter Sports Center of Khanty-Mansiysk. This summer it was also maintained on the venue of youth forum “Utro-2016” in Nefteyugansk. First of all, such a system is of primary interest for police authorities. However, the sphere of its application is rather wide – from fugitive retrieval and searching for missing persons to location guards and customs control. In each case the technical solutions of the system are made by “Rostelecom” basing on the requirements of the customer."

For those who are following the news on the WYCC at Khanty-Mansiysk, please find the link above created by Robert Song on their journey there. Very comprehensive with photos as well. The team is led by Christina Tao ( HOD ) and she is doing a wonderful job taking care of these kids.
I just received latest news that Caleb Peterson just won his round 8 game. Great start and hope it will continue.
This year participation by the players are lesser than previous year therefore the strengths of the players are stronger.
Cheers !!!

I hope the team is enjoying the experience. The pictures bring back many fond memories. KM sits on the bank pf the mighty Irtysh river, just a few miles south of its confluence with the mighty Ob - probably the 2 biggest rivers I had never heard of before. The land spit comes to a sharp point where the rivers meet. One could stand with a foot in each river. It's kinda on my bucket list.
