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

* 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.

When American Bobby Fischer (1943-2008) won the world title from Russian Boris Spassky in 1972, at the height of the Cold War, it not only resulted in fantastic worldwide media interest but also in a record number of people being introduced to the game of chess.
However it had taken Fischer many years of hard study and fiercely competitive tournament practice to perfect his all-round style of play and achieve his life’s ambition – despite having spectacularly gained the grandmaster title and qualification to the World Championship Candidates tournament at only 15 years of age.
My 60 Memorable Games was written over a period of several years and contains Fischer’s objective, honest and self-critical annotations to games that he had won, drawn and even lost from 1957 to 1967 – but from which he had also learned valuable lessons. In fact, reading Fischer’s intensely personal commentaries is like going back in time, watching live coverage of his over-the-board battles with the chess greats of his day. Soon he would become the greatest of them all.
Over the years this most influential and inspirational book has been translated into various languages and with varying degrees of accuracy. There was even an algebraicised English edition in the mid-90s, utterly condemned by Fischer for its errors and hundreds of unauthorised changes. However, in the new reissue you will find only Fischer’s original text and analysis as given in the first edition published in 1969. Even the typography and page layout resembles the original.
Fischer’s influence will be around for a long time to come. Young players around the globe are still fascinated by his personality and breathtaking will to win, while even his method of evaluating positions serves as a basis for the strongest present day chess computer program.
The brand new edition of My 60 Memorable Games will serve as a celebration of Bobby Fischer’s genius, dedication and professionalism which elevated chess to the highest level of sporting competition.
In contrast with the previous edition of this book, no alterations have been made to the text other than the conversion of moves into algebraic notation, making this an updated yet accurate reflection of the original book.
One of the most important chess books ever written re-issued
Lucid writing from a chess genius on 60 of his best games
His thoughts on the chess strategies, tactics and psychological battles
Bobby Fischer in his own words with no controversial changes
