i object
I object when admin continually adds time to my opponents clock. im referring to: g1105293153 . Three times my opponents clock has run down with only hours left on his clock. When he makes a move and suddenly has three days on his clock. As I understand the rules, A chess game ends in one of three w...

Re: Same Old Beef
Wow . I didn"t expect such vitriol. I have not posted here in several years and certainly never expresed an opinion on this subject. Perhaps your confusing me someone else. In any case if this is any indication of what i might expect, it will several more years before i come back. Goodbye

Re: Same Old Beef
Devil’s advocate here. I often play an into inferior position but have significantly more time then my opponent. In such positions I will quite deliberately “stall”. I don’t consider this to be poor sportsmanship when I do, or when I’m on the other side of the equation and my opponent does it to me....

I apologize to the room in general and to Brian in particular for my earlier outburst. Not for the sentiment, which I believe true, but for the way it was expressed. I don’t want to reopen the subject as it can’t lead to any useful end. Any attempt to do so will be ignored by me. I offer up the foll...

No Brian, actually it all goes back to you and your relentless and asinine conspiracy theories like the one you present here. And then you dragged Eugene into it. At least Eugene gave us new material every day. With you it’s the same crap over and over again. Get over it man.

Hi Brian, You recently ask me how long I’ve been playing chess, and as I started to form my reply I realized I wanted to say more than I could in the chat window. Hope no one minds if I answer here. My earliest memories of the game are of playing against my UNCLE Gene. He was a crusty old curmudgeon...

A question for the room.

Re: Those who purposely time out....when losing.
I’m just going to chime in here because …well , I feel like it. I am not a tournament director and I am inclined to defer to Greg’s judgment in all matters.

The Navigation buttons do not work as described in my original post. At least not for me. The move back button always takes me back to the last move actually played on the board, not to the last move in my analysis. So if I'm analyzing a line six move ahead and I only want to back up one move... the...

I would like to see something like an analysis mode on the interface.
If a user could disable the MOVE button, and, if the piece NAVIGATION buttons could move the pieces forward AND BACK one move at a time, that would be quite usefull.
And thank you Greg for running this great site!

A question about thematic tours.
When posting a thematic tour... Is it ok to post a series of moves to allow the poster to achieve a clearly winning position on his first unforced move? Do we have any obligation to tell the community if we see such a tour on the start a game list? Or should we just let the unwary fall into the trap...

If you took a random sample of 100 players rating from this site, added them all up and then divided by 100 you would come up with a number which I shall call the “sites average rating” or S.A.R. The S.A.R. should be about 1500. And steps should be taken to keep it there. This would bring our rating...
