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.
https://en.chessbase.com/post/us-cha...s-2024-preview Its that time again. Hans Niemann is playing. I wonder who he will knock out this time or will he be knocked out himself.
Cant wait to spectate and commentate.
Everyone survived the first round of the US Championships, all draws, although Hans Niemann had, to quote chess.com " a window of opportunity" to win against Fabiano Caruana.

In the first round women's there were many fighting games, three wins but all fairly long games. Rose Atwell, a new face, won with Black with a delicious knight fork followed by a nice mate against Anna Zatonskih.
Rd 2 Sam Sevian is the first winner of the championship totally dominating Ray Robson. Wesley So also won against Chris Yoo.
Sam Sevian surprised Ray Robson with the Jobava system of the London. Now thats prep! I admire that resourceful young man. A huge point resulting and psychologically very uplifting!

In the women's the big upset was Pourkashiyan over Tokhirjonova. Carissa Yip has started a winning streak of two games and has the only perfect score in the entire field.
Short answer: No. Nakamura has stated many times now that he and the other top players in the US are professionals and they are not being reimbursed enough. He makes more money from his streaming (and far less stress) than in the two weeks of the US championship. Also at the olympiad if the US got a gold medal they would get $5000 each, otherwise nada. Its all about conditions. You could find an interview at the recent olympiad where Nakamura states his points, there are many. Nakamura will continue to play the candiadates and other select tournaments when he can fit them into his schedule.
Rd 3 The blood letting gets serious. (I must be in a blood thirsty mood today, maybe Im thinking about Thanksgiving dinner). Dominguez missed a nasty tactic against Hans Niemann and thats all it takes at that level. Hans Niemann did good preparatory work in opening the G-fle to the king. The finish was unavoidable checkmate.
Rd 3 Caruana played a very nice endgame to win against Robson.
A wonder Liang had Levon Aronian flat footed for most of the game and finished with an enthralling endgame of four extra pawns for a piece. Aronian almost escaped but Liang was relentless. Almost a hundred moves. The fans must have enjoyed that one.
