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.
Me? The amazing soulful grooves of Liam Gallagher and some insane throwback tracks from Oasis ...
<snip>
Other than that ... Beethoven ... and some other freaks too, ha!
.
Which of the two Gallaghers looks like a punk? I remember seeing a picture, I think Noel in the early days, and thinking this looked like the sort of a guy I would get into a punchup in a bar with. Probably why I never listened to them. Would not recognize their music. The one thing I remember reading was that they had "Beatle-like" harmonies. I'll have a listen one day.
My favorite Beethoven symphony is the Pastoral. What about you?

The Gallagher punk? Noel ... for sure. Bad ass creative. BUT ... in performance no one I've every seen, and I've seen a lot Fred, no one attacks a word shape like Liam Gallagher. The pure force of his vocal crushes. And Noel is well aware of that force.
Yes, word shapes.
Ode to Joy ... Beethoven's 9th is ... I don't know ... spiritual???
From a design perspective I've studied his compositions for years. How he built it. His use of a theme or a simple motif is so absolutely wonderful and thoughtful to it's purpose ... very clean, very rhythmic ... describing its subject matter.
Ode to Joy, crazy awesome!
I can't say which of his compositions is my fav ... but somewhere tied for 1st along with his 9th symphony ...
Piano Concerto Number 3
5th symphony
Moonlight sonata
Für Elise
...
Here's an amusing read on Beethoven's compositional methodology ...
I was joking, sort of. i was not talking about hair styles , I was talking about Noel's countenence in one picture I saw back in the 20th, he was in a foul mood, probably he was hung over and some stupid photographer's flash went off in his face. He looked like he wanted to punch someone in the mouth, yet he don't look like much of a fighter, Hence my use of the term "punk", He looked like he was trying to act mean.
I saw Roy in the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto back in the mid- to late-1970s. There were about 12 people there. He was a fabulous player. Tribute To Elmore James - YouTube

He would play things Hendrix style just for laughs, and do it just as well, And he did it with a bone-stock '62 Fender Telecaster, No whammy bar, no pedals, nothing. Just bends the fuck out of his strings with his left hand, so occasionally he would have to tweak a tuning key after yanking a string out of tune.
I say Buchanan didn't want to be famous, he wanted a normal life. His death in a small=town U.S., drunk tank was mysterious and tragic. All that exists is a police report, which says he was found hanging by his shirt in his cell. That must be bullshit. How does a man that size string himself up by his shirt??

That is how I remember the show. I have never suspected foul play in his death, but maybe there was. I doubt it was political, like John Lennon must have been, but maybe some bad cops took care of him?
This sort of analysis is beyond me, but I do love jazz, probably more than any other musical form. I was born and raised on it due to my parents who both totally loved jazz music and played it all the time. Of the jazz piano players, there are many greats. Perhaps the most elite of them all is the Canadian from Montreal, Oscar Peterson. Then there is the enlightened genius, Thelonious Sphere Monk, and the completely brilliant Keith Jarrett. Other greats include Bill Evans, Art Tatum, McCoy Tyner and many more. I am not so much interested in solo playing, I prefer a trio with a bassist and a drummer along with the piano.
