General Guidelines

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.
Hi chess fans, I am just prepping the posts for the results and pairings, which should start being available within 2-3 hours. Thanks again to Marcus, who will be posting the final versions in a very nice format, at the Annex Chess Club website, always at this link : http://annexchessclub.com/?p=6475
some handy Swiss System colour rules ;)
E. Colour Allocation Rules
For each pairing apply (with descending priority):
E.1 Grant both colour preferences
E.2 Grant the stronger colour preference
E.3 ALTERNATE THE COLOURS TO THE MOST RECENT ROUND IN WHICH THEY PLAYED WITH DIFFERENT COLOURS
E.4 Grant the colour preference of the higher ranked player
E.5 In the first round all even numbered players in S1 will receive a colour different from all odd numbered players in S1

E. Colour Allocation Rules
For each pairing apply (with descending priority):
E.1 Grant both colour preferences
E.2 Grant the stronger colour preference
E.3 ALTERNATE THE COLOURS TO THE MOST RECENT ROUND IN WHICH THEY PLAYED WITH DIFFERENT COLOURS
E.4 Grant the colour preference of the higher ranked player
E.5 In the first round all even numbered players in S1 will receive a colour different from all odd numbered players in S1
Once you reach FM/IM... getting GM is much much harder from what I've seen.
Considering Razvan hasn't even reached 2100 FIDE yet, entertaining the thought about him getting the GM title might be a little early...
Even with two recent losses his FIDE performance is ~2450. He has a strong opposition in a Toronto region, and many events to practice in South Ontario.
Hi chess fans, I am just prepping for the final results and standings, which should start being posted within 2-3 hours. Thanks again to Marcus Wilker, who will be posting the final versions in a very sharp format, at the Annex Chess Club website, at this link : http://annexchessclub.com/?p=6475
Thanks also to Ted Winick for his passionate vision, to Hal Bond for his experienced leadership, to Rene Preotu for wide range of assistance to help the arbiters (including acting as our U1900 floater), to Bill Evans for ensuring all of the custom name tags (and acting as our Crown/U2200 floater), to Brian Groat (the food room and phone check guy) for acting as our U1600 floater, and to Erik Malmsten for ensuring I was fed regularly! :)
Note I will be posting 5 times in reply to this post. The first 4 will match the 4 official sections (Crown-U2200-U1900-U1600). In addition, we created a 5th pseudo-section to capture all extra replacement games (also rated) between forced byes, floaters, etc.
Aris & Alex, onsite at 918 Bathurst
P.S. Of course, thanks to Alex too! :)
