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.
Andre Botez posted this in another thread, and I have copied it here:
In January, FIDE published this on the website:
The UAE Chess Federation advised that they had made an agreement with the University which meant that they were only able to hold the World Youth at the end of December 2013. They also confirmed that all participants would get free food and lodging. The PB reluctantly agreed to this change of dates; On what is believed to be the official website, http://www.worldyouth2013.com/ this thing is not specified.
The only thing specified in the regulations is:
7. HOSTELS - BOARD & LODGING
7.1. We offer full board in the UAE University to the official players and accompanying
official(s) for each Federation from 17th December to 29th December. Accommodation will be
in the UAE University hostel in Al Ain.

very good catch Andrei. The "Free" rumor has encouraged somewhat more players participate CYCC(which is good for organizer to collection money probably). I just searched the rule and found additional player and all accompanying persons will pay 30Euros per day:
"2.4. Other than Official Players, other players shall be classified as Additional Players. All
other persons other than players or the Accompanying Official shall be classified as
Accompanying Persons. A Federation may register any number of Additional Players and
Accompanying Persons but they shall be responsible for their costs. Additional players and
accompanying persons must pay 30 Euros per day for meals, transportation and other
services."
Looking through the regulations for the first time, I see this:
2.4. Other than Official Players, other players shall be classified as Additional Players. All
other persons other than players or the Accompanying Official shall be classified as
Accompanying Persons. A Federation may register any number of Additional Players and
Accompanying Persons but they shall be responsible for their costs. Additional players and
accompanying persons must pay 30 Euros per day for meals, transportation and other
services.
3.1. In accordance with FIDE regulations, an entry FIDE fee of 70 Euros for each Official
Player and 140 € Euros for each Additional player should be paid.
4.5. Each player (official, qualified or additional) and each accompanying official/person must
pay to the organizing committee the amount of 100 € (Euros) at the moment of their
registration (before 17th October 2013). This payment is compulsory and represents a
confirmation of participation. This payment includes transportation from and to Dubai, Abu
Dhabi and Sharjah airports, accreditation, identification badges and organisation cost.
So, assuming my math is correct, the 12 day event will cost families (other than the official representative) €170 FIDE entry fee, €200 (player + dad) organization fee, and €720 for meals. That comes to €1090, or about $1483 at current rates.
it is too late to find out :) we are already on the way to Ottawa! (though I may still go no matter what cost is) but probably there are some players may not go if they knew it before, I guess.
I think this is a good strategy to attract more players to participate CYCC to collect more money for CFC and organizer :) though it was not made by purpose.
The 2013 CYCC will set an all-time participation record! Congratulations to the organizers and the CFC!
When the CFC went down this road in 2000 I was sure it would fail. Obviously I was wrong. So for a parent who spends significant dollars to have their youngster play in the CYCC...will it make any difference to them to pay more at the WYCC. FIDE saw this opportunity and the CFC followed suite. Honestly, while I do not support these events, at the end of the day...not only have they proven successful...but everyone involved in the process...without exception (organizations, organizers, players and parents) are extremely happy!

if there is a rumor saying NAYCC winner can be personal rights player for WYCC, I believe the entries of NAYCC will increase somewhat:). Considering NAYCC's entry fee is much lower than CYCC, and NAYCC provides free accommodation to official players, if Mr. Coleman helps advocate in Windsor, the number of entries will probably increase a lot. I believe the success of CYCC benefited from John's effort. Windsor, a small city, now has 6-8 chess clubs/regular classes, the record of Windsor chess event were more than one thousand.
