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:

* 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.
These are the true "experts", Dr's that have actually treated and saved lives of many high risk patients. Show me any Govt "expert" or MSM media "expert" that has done the same. https://twitter.com/P_McCulloughMD/s...PA2yc8X2jUL2Yw
Ontario school sports and clubs are set to resume. The article "Game on for sports", by Kristen Rushowy, Toronto Star, Thursday, February 10, 2022; can't seem to find the url for it.
The main points are that Ontario school sports and clubs will be resuming activity shortly, as COVID cases are declining. The article does not specifically reference chess. Whether there will be enough time to organize schools chess is the question. This will impact the Chess 'N Math Association in the province, as well as the Ontario High School Chess Federation.
A total of 3.244.052 adverse events have been reported, of which 47,5% have been rated as severe
A total number of 20.217 severe event reports resulted in death
According to https://vaccinetracker.ecdc.europa.e...tml#uptake-tab EEU and EEA 320,000,000 doses administered.
So approx probability of getting serious adverse reaction ~1,500,000/320,000,000= about .47%
Probability of death. = .0063%
This is just immediate reactions. Longitudinal data ie Cancer weakened Immune systems prion based diseases eventual death from myocarditis not known.
Probability of a healthy person under 70 succumbing to COVID-- .003%.
A severe adverse event can include serious paralysis, my0carditis, blood clots, serious neurological disorders. All life-altering conditions.
The Pharma sponsored press has tried to put out the preposterous idea that even though many of the deaths occur within 48 hours of the vax with healthy people that "correlation does not equal causation". or that somehow deaths can be fake reports ignoring the fact that over 86% of the reports are from health care professionals who legally have to report this.
These arguments have been put forward for the US VAERS , Eudravigilence, and UK yellow card vaccine adverse event reporting systems all in use for decades as effective early warning systems for drugs and vaccines. Here is a good letter that explains this sorry state of affairs.
Neil, it is the opposite, 99.997% of COVID cases for those healthy and under 70 are not lethal. For jabs it is more like 99.994% are not immediately lethal. For serious adverse events such as myocarditis, the life expectancy is anywhere from three months to five years max. Many of the serious adverse events have a similar grim prognosis. Factoring that in the equation we are talking around 99.5% of the jabs is not lethal and it could be much worst than that, we simply do not have the data to draw firm conclusions hence the reason vaccines normally take five to ten years to develop. For mass inoculation, those are absolutely horrific numbers.
As I said before, frankly, I would not go near these things with a Haz-mat suit on.
OMG, Sid, you go on and on about corrupt politicians, and I agree with you. There is massive political corruption in the USA on both sides of the aisle!! We agree.
But you have lumped Bernie in with the swamp? Are you kidding me?
Obviously, you don't know Bernie Sanders. Please educate yourself.
All well and good, please show me any evidence that Bernie called out Pharma and its pharma corrupted allies for what they have done to the world with the scamdemic. I only know of one senator that has done that, Senator Ron Johnson. Here are some snippets from Senator Ron Johnson's recent "second opinion" "pandemic" hearings.
