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.
For those of you having probs with the game viewer provided at Guelph Winter Pro Am 2010 I have used the same pgn data to make up an alternative viewer, my viewer for Guelph ProAm 2010 Winter There is a special feature that allows the reader to move the pieces around on the board with click - click and right arrow on keyboard advances one move.
Will update when more games become available using the same URL as above.
Looks like it was a good tourney, wished I could have played. The juniors are taking over the world!
please let me know if there is any problems with my viewer. (especially IE and opera users)
Thx Bill Evans

Thank for your interest in the Guelph Winter Pro-Am. We had 75 players in total. all of whom displayed exemplary sportsmanship. Thanks to assistant TD Michael von Keitz and Patrick McDonald for their great help.
The Pro Section was split between Artiom Samsonkin and Nikolay Noritsyn with 4.5 scores. Neither of them had to face the battered Sambuev, who was off form this weekend. They drew each other and disposed of everyone else. Artiom defeated Victor Plotkin in the final round, and Nikolay prevailed against Alex Martchenko. Nikita Gusev won against Calugar to split the 3rd-4th prizes with Roman Sapozhnikov, who ground down Filipovich.
The U2000 section was shared by Israel Crooks, Ian Finlay and Liza Orlova at 4 points each. Shafkat Ali went 5-0 in the U1700, followed by Frank Lee and Zach Dukic, who nosed out John Brown on tie break. Sergey Noritsyn socred 4 point to top the U1400s, followed by Benjamin Papernick and Damir Baizhieynov at 3.5.
Hal thanks for the tournament I always like starting the SWCOL Grand Prix with this tournament.
I believe Shafkat drew with Frank in Rd 4. We went over his last game in the pub. Well done Shafkat.
Frank is a very friendly gentleman, he plays very sharp and does not give you a rest in his games. I hope to meet him again at other tournaments maybe he will have his chance to get even, his score right now is -1 against me.
Zachary deserved the trophy on Tie Break. He is improving every time I see him. Great Job well done.
