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.
We are extremely pleased to announce that will re-open in 2011 on Saturday 8 with a simultaneous exhibition to be given by GM Bator Sambuev.
Currently Quebec Champion, equal first in the last Montreal Open Championship, Mr. Sambuev has recently changed his FIDE affiliation to represent Canada. Making no secret of his desire to become the next Canadian champion, he is, in the eyes of many, the top active Grandmaster in the nation.
Chess fans, this is an invitation to come to our club and watch the simul or experience the thrill of facing a combative and creative Grandmaster over the board !
We are located in the gymnasium of Sts-Martyrs-Canadiens school at 9930 Parthenais in Montréal. Street parking is easily found just outside the building. Coming by public transit ? Then find the best route at http://www2.stm.info/taz/index.php.
Date : Saturday, January 8 - we open at 11h30.

I wouldn't count GM Bluvshtein and GM Roussel-Roozmon quite out yet, when considering the next Can. Champion ! I think the top player is still uncertain, though clearly Bator has it by rating at the moment!
Remember that Bator has been active in Canada, and increasing his rating, while Mark has been playing little in Canada, and a lot internationally. So his CFC rating has remained relatively flat, where I think it also would be definitely rising if he were as active as Bator. There is also the wildcard of our current Canadian Champion, IM Jean Hebert, who has shown the capacity to play above his rating when he is on form.
Lastly some outsiders are the GTA triumverate of IM Gerzhoy, IM Samsonkin and IM Noritsyn ( past Canadian Champion ).

Reason: last minute entries
He turned round and round for five and a half hours. In the end, tired but unbowed, Bator Sambuev signed an impressive performance of 45 wins out of 46 games during a memorable simul at the Ahuntsic Chess Club on January 8, 2011.
Qiyou Wu was the only one squeezing a draw out of him (see picture).
Yet for a long while the master courted disaster against Jean-Marc Médawar. « Unfortunately I blundered a piece in the opening », he admitted after everything was over. Like a groggy boxer hanging on to his opponent to survive after a vicious punch, he complicated the position. He was, at that point, just hoping to stay alive. And then, as black kings all around were being killed, the master gradually began to come back faster and faster to Jean-Marc, who eventually crumbled under the pressure. The piece was eventually regained and next an exchange forced another resignation. An excruciating victory for White and an honorable defeat for Jean-Marc. Hail to Bator Sambuev for this tenacious recovery and a nearly perfect score !
