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.
Good morning everyone! Hope you all had a great Xmas and that Santa had you in his good books :).
So we are set to start at 10 am today.
I picked up Richard Wang and his dad at the airport last night (Anyone who has been to the Canadian Chess Challenge knows that I love being the chauffeur at these events LOL). The tidbit from our chat that I will share with you is that Richard was born in...Sudbury Ontario, although he has spent most of his life in Edmonton.
Francis Rodrigues, Gary Rodrigues, Yuri Mamshev and I set up the playing hall yesterday. Francis was directing the troops...when I leave the Chess<n Math Association I hope some one like him takes over...he is awesome!
This is our first time using the Monroi system so we ask you for your patience. Our office is across the street from the playing site so we will keep you up to speed here at Chesstalk.

The round started at 10 am sharp. We hope to have games available on the Monroi site by 11 am.
Am I the only one who cannot access the games at Monroi?
Hi John,
I am being told that it doesn't work consistantly with Explorer but if you use a different browser it should be fine. It is working fine for us with Chrome.

I'm using Google Chrome. I just tried IE and no work.
Razvan Preotu played 5. Qe2, Wormald Attack in the Ruy Lopez. Monroi incorrectly shows an American flag next to his name.

Andrei Botez was the only brave soul to predict results for the first round. Here is what he predicted:
My prevision for round 1:
Qin Zi Yi (joey) 0-1 Wang Richard
Song Michael .5-.5 Kleinman Michael
Preotu Razvan 1-0 Szalay Karoly
Sapozhnikov Roman .5-.5 Kraiouchkine Nikita
Jiang Louie 1-0 Chiku-Ratte Olivier Kenta
and the results were:
Qin Zi Yi (joey) .5-.5 Wang Richard ....Andrei 0
Song Michael 0-1 Kleinman Michael ....Andrei 0
Preotu Razvan .5-.5 Szalay Karoly ....Andrei 0
Sapozhnikov Roman Still playing Kraiouchkine Nikita ....Andrei 1
Jiang Louie .5-.5 Chiku-Ratte Olivier Kenta.... Andrei 0

Hard to predict when you don't have all the data. Important info like: "Richard was born in ON" or that Larry will drive them from the airport... what can I say...I will try to do better next round!
Your son seemed to have a clear advantage after 17.Ne4. Black seemed much worst.
He then moved his pieces around for the next 10-15 moves without a clear plan. On move 32 he made a blunder with Rc1; simplifying to a drawn endgame where Black missed 41...Rb8 with the better side of a fairly equal endgame.
