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.
Real treat for you: Saturday, July 16 free showing of Ivory Tower!!
David,
That is awesome that you were able to get Ivory Tower. I've been wanting to see it but couldn't find it on video nor was it showing anywhere near Toronto save for a couple of festivals like NXNE.
For those who don't know anything about the movie, it's tangentially about chess and it is crazy. One review described Ivory Tower as "a tour de force, a series of set pieces performed with simple gestures in modulating forms. It’s a Rocky-inspired sports parody; a Sirkean melodrama; a nouvelle nouvelle vague; free-jazz riff; a music video; a YouTube bricolage; a silent-era pastiche; a commercial."
The soundtrack for the movie was done by the brilliant Canadian musician Chilly Gonzales. Here's a link to the a clip from the movie:

The movie is well made and very funny. Several well-known musicians involved like Pink and Fiest. It will be playing Saturday night at 8 pm.
Dropped by the tournament this morning and listened to two lectures for free. Only 13 people there, but apparently GMs need the afternoons free to prepare for their games. Nicer having the lectures in room close to the playing hall on the main floor rather than across the street like last year.
GM Dejan Bojkov talked a little about Antoaneti Stefanova and analyzied two positions from her games, trying out variations suggested by the audience. He was requested to share one of his own games and revealed his thoughts on how he lost a game he was winning in Round 1, underestimating his opponent.
Eugene Perelshteyn went over the main opening variations covered in the two books on chess opening systems he cowrote with Alburt and Dzindzichashvili and sold most of the copies he brought. Some of the obscure lines they recommended are now main lines.
Only a few people entered the simult at noon.
The kids class of 30 looked well run and the GM lost a game in the simul!
It’s worth it to drop by early.
There’re still spaces available for the Arbiter’s seminar being taught by the best.

I don't know if not having accelerated pairings helped or hurt norm chances, or it's just that this year's GMs aren't cracking.
Must play 3 GMs for a GM Norm, a total 5 title holders, and 7 Fide rated (unrateds 2200 and 1200).
For an IM norm must play 3 IMs or 3 GMs, a total of 5 title holders (GM, IM, or WIM), and 7 FIDE rated (unrateds 2050 and 1200).
Possible IM norms:
5.5 FM Bindi Cheng -1=1 GM +Rd 8/ +1IM Needs to meet title player in last round.
4.5 Lorne Yee =GM/ =IM, I don't know if IMelect counts, and in Rd 8 is playing IWM
Others haven't played enough title holders, regardless of the score requirement:
5 FM Roman Sapozhnikov =GM -GM/ and is playing IM in Rd 8.
4.5 FM Shiyam Thavandiran -2GM/ =IM.
4.5 FM Goran Milicevic =GM, -2GM.
4 FM* Victor Plotkin -2GM/ -IM
4 FM Aman Hambleton -2GM/ -IM
4 Richard Wang -GM/=IM-IM
4 FM Alisa Melekhina =GM/-IM
Congrats for scoring against a GM:
Bradley J Willis 1-0 GM Dejan Bojkov 2544
Ron Pitre 2190 = GM John Peter Fedorowicz 2508
Martial Larochelle 2214 = GM John Peter Fedorowicz 2508
(Larocheele also 1-0 IM* Arthur Calugar 2437)
Michael Humphreys 2277 = GM Joel Benjamin 2641
FM Michael Barron 2277 = GM Alexander Shabalov 2618
Players who will get a published FIDE rating:
(games from previous FIDE-rated tournament)
Dale McTavish 4/7 +
Oliver Kenta Chiku-ratte (3/7) 2.5/7 +
David Miller (2.5/8) 2/6 +
John W Chidley-Hill (2/8) 2/5 +
Tony [Juntao] Lin (2.5/8) 1.5/4
Geordie Derraugh (1.5/3) 2/6
Brendan Fan (2/6) 1/4+
Lali Agbabishvili (1/4) 3.5/6 +
Daniel Zotkin (youth ch) 2/4
Players who have started the process by scoring 1/3 and need to have 9 rated games before having their first published rating:
Zhao Yang Luo 2/7+
Ian Loadman 2.5/6
Tyler Longo 2/5 +
Pepin Manalo 2/5 +
Chang Yun 1.5/7
Matthew Morabito [USA] 1.5/6 +
Stephen Ye 1.5/6 +
Alan Ang 1.5/6
Andrew Picana 1.5/5 +
Yue Tong [Davy] Zhao 2/5 +
Jeff Back 2/5
David Krupka 2/5
Larry Castle 1.5/5
Federico Austria 1.5/4
Arkadiy Ugodnikov 1.5/4
Ben Olden-cooligan 2/3 +
Ashish (Justin) Gulati 1.5/3 +
Under 2000 section:
Alexander Strugach (1.5/4) 1/3
Stephan Tonakanian 1.5/3
Jonathan Yu 1/2 +
Bryant Yang 1/3
I don't know if this list will grow as they are many players who have played 2 rateds, and some of the juniors may get a rating from events that just happened before this one. The dozen who had already have started the process didn't get any more games towards having their first published rating. And the 10 already rated players will get games among themselves rated.
