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.
It is a badge of honor to be asked to resign from a committee of murderers. She is one of the worlds leading immunologists
abd you would be well served by listening very carefully to
the video I posted.
You are a chess player and the great thing about the game is
that it teaches us how to critically think so watch the video and you be the judge.

Sid, imo the hyperbolic rhetoric isn't helpful here (text I've bolded). After all, if Dr. Cahill thought she was on a committee of murderers then wouldn't she have resigned on her own initiative rather than waiting to be asked? I'll follow your recommendation to watch the whole video but it's an hour long so it will have to be in bits and pieces over the next couple of days.
BTW, thanks for that link to the Doidge article. Very interesting. Here's just one snippet that certainly applies to this discussion (i.e. you, Lucas, Bob G., me, etc.):
"Not only are lay people confused; professionals are. All that seems certain is that there is something disturbing going on in our science, and that if and when the “perfect study” were to ever come along, many won’t know what to believe."
"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office." - Aesop
"Only the dead have seen the end of war." - Plato
"If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he comes next to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination." - Thomas De Quincey
...Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes not wearing a mask in the White House just after she interviewed/lectured Trump all about COVID-19.
BRILLIANT ... pure and simple :))))
I'm glad that you're finally willing to condemn people for not wearing masks when they're supposed to! I assume you're now willing to condemn Trump, his family, and all the other Republicans who routinely don't wear masks when they should be?

That would be another FAKE assumption on your part, ha!
Those that lecture and belittle folks for not wearing a face mask ... you know Lucas like Pelosi and now Stahl of 60 Minutes ... those are the ones I find repugnant.

Oh, so you're fine with people spreading a deadly virus because they're too selfish to wear a mask. I'm glad that you've finally just come out and said it.
Remdesevirs utterly failed in tits most recent WHO trial a few days ago. It was a failed Ebola drug and a failure as a COVID19 Drug. Dr. Fauci knowlingly promoted somrething as "the standard of care" that everyone knew could not work.
I wondered about that as there had been previous studies which showed that hydroxychloroquine worked and remdesevir had only a marginal effect. Does that mean that Trump's cure was miraculous or that the other treatment he received was sufficient in and of itself.
these lecturing entitled Dems get CAUGHT!!!
Won't be long until we see another ...sigh.
So there you have it - it's all about making people who disagree with you feel bad just so you can feel good. Because you can't feel good on your own, you always have to have an enemy you can "beat", or at least unilaterally declare victory over.
l have been doing a lot of cooking over these past few months and I can tell you that I have improved considerably, especially my Hungarian dishes. My wife can attest to that. As well, I have expanded my music appreciation by great lengths. Thanks COVID, there is always a bright side.

He received a cocktail of drugs including monoclonal antibodies from Regeneron. He also took vitamin d3 zinc and other good antivirals. It was rumored he took remdesevir but if true i suspect his recovery was no thanks to that molecule. He took HCQ +zinc prophylactically for a short period of time but unfortunately stopped before the combo could have an effect. After he was treated he started heavily promoting Regeneron's monoclonal antibodies. So that was probably the main driver.
I had the impression that he wanted to advertise innovative research going on in terms of COVID19.

That's a thing of beauty :) Which Hungarian dish is your fav?
Thanks to that skateboard guy ... @doggface208 ... I've rediscovered the Fleetwood Mac vibe...

Sid, here is further, apparently contradictory (a la Doidge), information: a recently completed study sponsored by WHO.
Solidarity Therapeutics Trial produces conclusive evidence on the effectiveness of repurposed drugs for COVID-19 in record time
In just six months, the world’s largest randomized control trial on COVID-19 therapeutics has generated conclusive evidence on the effectiveness of repurposed drugs for the treatment of COVID-19.
Interim results from the Solidarity Therapeutics Trial, coordinated by the World Health Organization, indicate that remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir and interferon regimens appeared to have little or no effect on 28-day mortality or the in-hospital course of COVID-19 among hospitalized patients.

The results of the trial are under review for publication in a medical journal and have been uploaded as preprint at medRxiv available at this link:

Peter, please explain the “contradiction”. I am not sure where you are going with it. I already posted the link you gave earlier
with a brief explanation of the results.
