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 results are in. Pascal Charbonneau took clear first with an undefeated 5.5/6, giving up a draw to Jan Teplinsky in the final round. Pascal impressed with his win against Hikaru Nakamura in round 4. Congratulations Pascal! Inspite of his loss, Nakamura claimed 2nd prize, scoring 5/6. Yan Teplitsky and Jack Yoos were close behind at 4.5/6.
I would like to thank Jamin Gluckie and his crew for organizing such a great event. Talk about attention to detail. Jamin made everyone feel welcome. Special thanks to Jill Koshinsky for directing. I will be back next year. Good work people!
Check out the website over the next little while for more media.
As always the organizers Jamin Gluckie, Robert Sasata and TD Jill Koshinsky did a suberb job of organizing and making the event really enjoyable. I hope that this tournament will go on for years to come!
For me personally the event will be really memorable as well, because even though I didn't get a chance to be pounded by Naka, I did get to play two IMs which is more than I ever played! I think I even gave IM Hansen somewhat of a scare!
Congratulations on what appears to have been another outstanding event by the Albertans.
A large part of the Battle's success is the combination of Alberta and Saskatchewan organizers. Even though I live on the Alberta side of Lloydminster I still consider myself from Saskatchewan, and Jill and Robert live in Saskatoon.
Thanks for your kind words. I hope everyone enjoyed the 2010 Battle.

Jamin is right of course. This was a joint venture between the two provinces. In fact, most of the money came from other sources besides the ACA. Check out the sponsors page on the website to view the sponsors.
