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 CBC fact checkers believe that to be a mistaken notion. They say she got it by virtue of being women's world champion. It is possible that she earned norms after being given the regular GM title. The driving force behind that particular segment Alex Shprintsen read this thread on chesstalk.
Susan Polgar was the first to earn a regular GM title by the norm process in place at the time.
Wikipedia backs up Frank. Nona earned the title via norms.
*********************
In 1978 Gaprindashvili became the first woman to be awarded the Grandmaster title by FIDE. She was granted the title after scoring two grandmaster norms totaling 23 games, the last of which was winning Lone Pine 1977 against a field of 45 players, mostly grandmasters. Although the GM title normally required 24 games, by exceeding the GM 'norm' requirement in Lone Pine, FIDE found her results over 23 games equivalent to 24 games and made her the first woman Grandmaster.[3]

Wikipedia is not definitive proof. I am not sure one way or another. I am just telling you what the CBC producer told me.
Donald Trump claims to his followers that he won a GM title and the World Chess Championship by defeating Bobby Fischer in 1975 in a 24-game match, but the Deep State interfered. It suppressed all knowledge of the match, which was held in secret in the Cheyenne NORAD facility where the StarGate to visit other planets is being held. At the conclusion of the match, the Men In Black swept in and caused the real Bobby Fischer to jump through the StarGate, from which he allegedly promised just before he jumped through to return with the Galactic Chess Championship title sometime in the future. Donald Trump escaped by private Lear jet to Scotland, but all records of the match were confiscated and have yet to be revealed. There were no media reports of this at the time because Fischer made it part of his demands that there be no media, agreeing with Trump that the media is a national security threat. There is some controversy about the final game of the match, with Trump leading by 1/2 point. That's part of the controversy, because it's impossible for one player to be leading by 1/2 point, but Trump worked it out that way. But the bigger controversy is that Trump was holding onto his captured Queen and when Fischer promoted a Pawn, they wrestled for the Queen. Fischer (wearing a full facial mask and calling himself "King Bobby") threw Trump over the top rope and broke a folding chair over his back, and Trump was about to be counted out*....
The promoting move would have won Fischer the game and the match, but Fischer never got to press his clock -- that's precisely when all hell broke loose. FIDE claimed in 2018 that they found out Hal Bond was arbiter for this match and they had to send the KGB after him.
And let's not even talk about what happened in Uruguay.
(Edit): *Trump later claimed the referee was a Democrat and was counting by 2s, i.e. "2....4....6....8....Oh my God, the Men in Black are here!"

In Jamaica and reggae, apparently it is a slang term for a certain non-chess position.
Perreria (Spanish) translates as dirty trick, harsh words or cursing
It is also identified as a French last name.
Wow, this is like having my name up in lights!
Unfortunately, it seems I must "appear" on stage as a hairy BigFoot decorated with 9 lucky stones, cursing and swearing in Hindi while in a certain non-chess position somewhere in France.
Meanwhile we have the CFC President making this statement (which prompted my whole Donald Trump comedy bit): "Wikipedia is not definitive proof. I am not sure one way or another. I am just telling you what the CBC producer told me."
If Wikipedia is not definitive proof, why is the CFC President even quoting some anonymous CBC producer???? Why is he even posting on the subject? That's why I gave my comedy response.
By the way, Brad Thomson, I prefer your Sherlockian genius to Neil Frarey's anyday! Cheers!
You sound like you have someone living rent-free in your head.
Brilliant! Thanks Pargat.
