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.
This is not the one hold by Yuri Lebediv where location looks like the same? or this is new one organize by yourself? How players level will be and rated CMA or CFC? time control?
There is an idea of opening the new chess club in Toronto. The club will be located on Younge and Finch, which makes it easily accessible by public transport. Also there is a large TTC parking near by (free on weekends). Three separate rooms can be used, each of them accommodates up to 20 people. It means, theoretically, we can have blitz in one room, “serious” games in another, and lecture or other kinds of discussions in the third. Currently, the time which is available is Sunday from 10 AM till 2 PM, but, depending on demand, Saturday can be an option too.
Before I move ahead with this, I’d like to have a rough estimation of how many people would be interested, and also to hear suggestions on what you expect from chess club to provide.

Hi Larry,
Granted I've been out of Toronto for four years, and out of the Chess Talk loop for a little while, but I had no idea you guys moved. When did that happen?

No matter how big and bad you are, when a two-year-old hands you a toy phone, you answer it.

Hi Anna,
Yes, this is the same place. but I'll be using it in different time frames. I though it would be the easiest way to start, and then ... we'll see. Although I think this location has a lot of potential. Players level ... well, before I start this I thought there will be more interest from adult players in blitz tournaments, but right now it seems that more demand is from young players for high-level FIDE rated tournaments. Having 4-4.5 hours per game we can use 90 min + 30 sec control which was recently extended by FIDE for official use http://www.fide.com/component/conten...e-control.html. These are about all the specifics I can give you for now.
All the best in Pan-Am and see you in Montreal in 3 weeks,
Vlad.
