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.
15. Have fun!

1er juin: Compétition de résolution de problèmes tactiques animée par Jean Hébert!
1er juin: Compétition de résolution de problèmes tactiques animée par Jean Hébert!
La compétition de résolution de problèmes tactiques du 2 mars dernier à Chambly animée par le maître international Jean Hébert s’est avéré très populaire et plusieurs nous ont demandé de reprendre cette activité thématique qu’ils avaient raté ou même veulent y participer encore.
Venez donc à Chambly mercredi le 1er juin en soirée pour essayer cette compétition inédite!
Re : 1er juin: Compétition de résolution de problèmes tactiques animée par Jean Héber
La compétition a été remportée par Olivier Comtois!
Jean Hébert nous conviait le 1er juin à essayer son nouveau son jeu de résolution de problèmes tactiques. Seize participants ont trimé dur sur ces cartes de problèmes conçues par lui pour n'avoir qu'une seule réponse possible, avec des cartes d'une valeur de 10, 20 ou 30 points. Les mauvaises réponses faisaient perdre la moitié des points de la carte, sauf pour les cartes de 30 points où une mauvaise réponse n'était pas pénalisée.
Le grand gagnant de la soirée est Olivier Comtois avec une note globale de 190! Ex aequo au 2e rang, Étienne Lalumière et Danyel Hains avec 155 points. Mention d'honneur à Eric Frangulian, qui avec 115 points est 4e et le dernier participant avec plus de 100 points. Parmi les autres joueurs participants, 6 ont une note positive (entre 0 et 99) et 6 ont une note négative. C'est dire la difficulté de ce jeu! Jean Hébert analysait avec nous ensuite sur projecteur plusieurs des problèmes rencontrés au cours de la soirée. Très instructif!
Bravo à nos gagnants et merci à tous nos participants. Un merci spécial à Jean Hébert pour cette belle soirée d'apprentissage du jeu tactique et pour le prix remis au gagnant, un magnifique bouquin de Colin Crouch, «Magnus Force - How Carlsen beat Kasparov's records».
