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 news deserves more than a footnote post among another 110 posts in a previous thread.
Bator played really entertaining chess, always on the edge. Just another confirmation of his CFC rating and multiple tornament wins.
Congrats to GM Sambuev for a gutsy performance! I really liked his fighting style throughout the tournament. Good Luck in the World Cup in August !
I thought Eric Hansen played the most consistent chess and probably deserved a better fate. He looked raking in his first playoff game especially after he won the exchange " Bb5 cutting off the protection of the knight and tapping the rook on e8". I thought for sure he had that one wrapped up but Bator showed why he is such a tough fighter and held the draw.
The future of Canadian chess looks bright with young players such as Noritsyn, Panjawani, Gerzhoy, Hansen and company. The Olympiad team should receive a nice injection of talent in the coming years..
Congrats to Hal and Team for a great event ! I wish I could have been there to see some of the action live but followed closely on Mon Roi..
Congratulations to GM Bator Sambuev for his very interesting and brave playing and his very good performance overall, including first place in this competition!

I'm not clear that would make him eligible, Jean, given the dates metioned above. Does anyone have a definitve answer to this question?
If a sum of 5kE was paid, he could play since 2010-10-16.
No 5k >> 2011-10-16. It makes him eligible for an Olympiad at least without a fee (e.g., a penalty)
Anyway, I would like to hear from Bator about his plans. Do you plan to go? :)
Let me understand this. Bator was allowed to play in the Canadian Closed of which the top prize included a trip to the World Cup, and he one the tournament. I guess the question arises what is the Federation going to do to ensure Bator is able to compete in the World Cup?
We weren't playing for the WC spot. Before the playoff games it was agreed that the Olympiad spot and title were on the line but that I would take the WC spot.
Agreed to by whom? Was this a decision between you and Bator, Eric? Was this a decision of the CFC executive? I just want to understand this since the executive has not apprised the Governors of the situation.
Actually when Hal asked me about tie-break I said it's unlikely that I will play in World Cup because I have no 5000Euro. I offered to give up me title without tie-break to take WC spot. Also Hal said me that CFC will try to solve this problem with FIDE. I never gave up my spot in WC.
