Re: Istanbul Chess Olympiad 2012
Its interesting that GM Anton Kovalyov is still listed on the Argentinian team. I am sure that they could have removed him by now if they wanted him, since the Russians were able to remove Morozevich and the Azerbaizhanis removed Gashimov.Comment

Re: Canadian teams board order according to chess-results
Well I see Kovalyov is finally off the Argentina list. Apparently would have cost them 100 euros to fix that too.Christopher Mallon

Re: Canadian teams board order according to chess-results
The news from Turkey is that this board order will stick.
The only event was that Bator was held at the border for long time (he has a special passport) and finally he was allowed to enter after the organizers discuss it with border authorities.Last edited by Andrei Botez; Monday, 27th August, 2012, 08:06 PM.Comment

Re: Canadian teams board order according to chess-results
Yes, I saw the poor fellow when he finally arrived just before the Technical Meeting at 8pm. He looked fine, but it must have been a drag, I believe almost 10 hours? At the time, I was in line yet again for an identity card, as none had been issued for me, even though one official insisted that Henry Peng had been given my accreditation card, lol!Originally posted by Andrei Botez View PostComment

Re: Round 1 pairings
If they award it for performance like we do the FM/IM titles in our Zonal, then conceivably she could play 9 games against opponents all without FIDE ratings, earn the required # of points for the title to be awarded, and still not receive a FIDE rating because she didn't play enough opponents who were FIDE rated. Yeah?Originally posted by Christopher Mallon View PostComment

Re: Round 1 pairings
There are automatic titles for WYCC events. Some of the younger girls probably don't play enough rated opponents to get a rating.Originally posted by Christopher Mallon View PostComment

Meh, WCM titles are pointless anyway. It's like getting a milestone on ICC. Sure it's cool and all but at the end of the day, no one really cares.Originally posted by Christopher Mallon View PostShameless self-promotion on display here

Dark Knight / Le Chevalier Noir - 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.
15. Have fun!
(Thanks to Nigel Hanrahan for writing these up!)
