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.
Encore une fois, un calibre très relevé pour le tournoi du vendredi. Et le mercredi n'est pas en reste, avec une moyenne de 2200 dans la première section.
Moi je dis qu'on lance un challenge à Québec pour un interclub! ;)
8 échiquiers, une partie à Montréal, une autre à Québec.
En 2005 l'Association échecs et Maths a commandité un match entre Montréal, Toronto, Ottawa et la ville de Québec...voici ce que j'ai trouvé sur le net: Deen Hergott returned to captain the victorious Ottawa team to a win in the Four Cities' Chess'n Math Association 20th Anniversary event, held in Kingston, 2005, where Ottawa defeated all-Master teams from Toronto, Montreal, and Quebec City.
et ceci:
New team event successful in Kingston:
Initiated by Larry Bevand of Chess 'N Math, to mark its 20th anniversary, the Four Cities' team
matches were held in Kingston on Sept. 10th. The event featured teams composed of four strong
players from each of Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Quebec City, meeting in round-robin
format. Of the 16 players who took part, some 13 were of at least National Master strength, with
11 having international titles. This is an excellent start to what is hoped will develop into a new
tradition of team play, an area which Canada has previously had trouble developing. The time
control was G/60, with a 5-second increment per move. There was tremendous fighting spirit
shown by all the teams, with plenty of top-notch games played, and no short draws, as well as
excellent sportsmanship, with no disputes. Ottawa wound up the champions for 2005 -- their
team was (from boards one to four): IM Deen Hergott, IM Tom O'Donnell, FM Gordon Taylor,
and NM Sebastian Predescu. Ottawa won each of its three team matches, but not without a few
anxious moments. Frank Dixon, on behalf of the host Queen's University Chess Club, and his
own firm Klahanni Technologies, donated a new permanent trophy for annual competition,
together with cash awards for the best games played by each team. Then Larry Bevand treated
the teams and organizers to dinner afterwards, at one of Kingston's finest restaurants, and paid
cash prizes to each team as well, all on behalf of Chess 'N Math, as there was no entry fee
charged! Look for a full report on the event, in the December 2005 issue of Chess Canada
Echecs. There is already some substantial interest in expanding the event for next year, perhaps
into a 'B' group of four more teams. Thanks to Larry Bevand and Chess 'N Math once again, for
exceptional creativity and generosity!!"
Les tournois par équipe sont superbes! Dans les meilleurs années nous avons eu plus de 600 participants dans nos tournois par équipes pour les jeunes à Montréal. Aux États Unis la participation est extraordinaire! Je crois que leur tournoi par équipe National a eu lieu en fin de semaine qui viens de passé...
