Wiki
The Wiki is a very good idea, but I think it would have more success and it would be great if there was not a problem with transpositions. Is it possible to fix that soon?
Thibault de Vassal (2006-05-23 09:27:49)
Transpositions
Hello Pablo.
I fixed that. Auto-analyzing would take too much time processing, but it now works in another way : Just tell me (please send email) if you find a line transposing to another, and I'll make the change. As it's difficult to cancel a forwarding, only moderators could do such a change.
Pablo Schmid (2006-06-04 15:30:51)
To De Vassal
Hello De Vassal, when I see my game against Höppenstein n°570, it tells that his move 18.. was illegal, but it wasn't and we continued to play. And each time I see the same problem.. Can you fix it please?
Thibault de Vassal (2006-06-04 16:48:10)
Bug fixed...
Hello Pablo.
Bug is fixed now. Sorry about that :/

Tournoi reporté au 1er soit disant pour que tout soit optimisé. Mais pourquoi avoir attendu le dernier moment pour commencer à modifier les règles? Surtout que les modifications ne font pas l'unanimité et qu'en général ça se fait pas de changer les règles en cours de route et cela sans vraiment avoir demandé l'avis des inscrits.
Thibault de Vassal (2006-06-16 19:24:41)
Retard et explications
Bonjour Pablo.
La règle de la qualification au 2ème tour des joueurs 2300+ ne date pas d'hier, et j'avais annoncé une mise à jour des règles. Les discussions n'arrivant souvent également qu'au dernier moment, je dirais seulement : Mieux vaut tard que jamais :)
.. mieux vaut changer des règles non-optimisées avant le début des tournois qu'entre deux cycles... Je le répète, les règles changeront tant qu'elles pourront être améliorées significativement (comme partout ailleurs). Il me faut un peu de temps pour adapter et trouver de nouvelles dénominations pour les tournois (notamment celui qui permettra aux joueurs classés 2300+ de jouer avant l'heure).
Le plus important reste que le championnat attire les joueurs ayant un classement élevé comme moins élevé. Dans les règles originales, de nombreux joueurs n'auraient pas pu jouer tout de suite. Un retard reste un retard, certes... Désolé pour cela, mais je pense que ça en vaut la peine.
Pablo Schmid (2006-07-03 18:37:00)
Problème du temps restant.
Bonjour De Vassal, dans ma partie 583 contre Hanly, je peux lire ça: Clock - 35 days 23:12:38 (9 days 20:48:55) S'agit-il d'un bug? Ai-je 35 jours ou 9 jours restants?
Thibault de Vassal (2006-07-03 18:58:48)
Remaining time
Hello Pablo.
There's no problem :)
Last move by your opponent has been played on 2006 may 14, 50 days ago. The rules state that no move shall be played in more than 60 days. Your remaining time for the game is 35 days, so you just have to play one move, and the 9 days limit will disappear, your clock will be only 35 days. If you don't play a single move before 9 more days, the game will be lost on time.
Pablo Schmid (2006-07-06 19:32:42)
même problème
J'ai le même problème contre Muratet (partie 581), je ne l'ai constaté qu'aujourd'hui mais d'après mes calculs, ça fait déjà plusieurs jours qu'il a perdu au temps sans que la partie soit finie.
Pablo Schmid (2006-07-19 22:11:56)
Bug inscription ?
Je vois un certain David ******, 1200 ELO inscrit (ou du moins dans la liste des inscrits) dans de nombreux tounois supérieurs à sa classe ELO, s'agit-il d'un bug? Il serait bien de le désinscrire des tournois hors de sa classe ELO par équité pour les autres joueurs, merci.

Bonjour Pablo.
En effet..... Je vais regarder ça rapidement. Merci !

2 parties rated non comptées?
Salut De Vassal, j'ai un petit problème: j'ai 6 victoires en rated, mais que 4 sont calculées, et ce, depuis un moment. Qu'en est-il des 2 autres parties classées que j'ai gagnées?
Thibault de Vassal (2006-07-27 03:33:26)
parties non classées
Bonjour Pablo !
Les parties gagnées avant le 10ème coup (abandons / forfaits) ne sont pas comptabilisées pour plus d'équité, un autre moyen également d'éviter une triche évidente (voir règles). Je suppose qu'il doit s'agir de ce cas !?
Pablo Schmid (2006-07-27 03:51:12)
En partie
Il est vrai que sur les 6 parties, il y en a une ou mon adversaire perd au temps avant les 10 premiers coups. 4 parties ont été comptabilisées, la partie gagnée au temps en moins de 10 coups ne copmte pas, d'accord mais il reste toujours une partie qui n'a pas compté, et j'ai vérifié, pas d'abandon en dessous de 10 coups. Je suppose qu'il y a une autre explication, mais laquelle?
Pablo Schmid (2006-07-28 21:39:19)
..
Je ne sais pas quelle partie n'aurait pas compté. Mais avec mon ELO actuel à 1736 max, il faudrait que j'ai battu un adversaire en dessous de 1386 ce qui n'est pas le cas. Enfin bon au pire tampis c'est pas dramatique.
Pablo Schmid (2006-07-28 21:57:37)
..
J'ai finalement constaté qu'un de mes adversaires avait un rating inférieur de plus de 350 pts (pas dans le TER), c'est probablement l'explication, affaire reglée ;)
Pablo Schmid (2006-08-22 14:33:13)
Re
Maybe he should have put the starting position of the true BDG via : 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3, but there are differents move orders, and Black are not forced to play 3.Nf6 in that move order. But if 3..e6 or 3..c6, it could transpose into a French or Caro, but White could still play in a BDG style : 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3 c6 4.Bc4!? followed by a f3, or 4.f3!?; and 3..e6 4.f3!? (Nxe4 is already a well-known position of the French).

Reprise du stage 2?
"Stage 2 will begin thursday." Il n'a plus que 3 heures pour commencer ;)
Pablo Schmid (2007-02-15 23:32:13)
A solution?
For players like Aldag, it might be possible to host a tournament "without computers", so Thibault would not have to change something in his system, rules or rating..
Thibault de Vassal (2007-02-16 00:00:43)
A solution?
Hi Pablo.
The real point is here (quote from Benjamin) : "The discussion is not about to change something. It is about to build a new feature here"
Such a new feature is not only something more, it would completely change the challenge's nature offered here. I don't think it's a good idea. A special tournament would have no sense here IMO. If you want to play without computer assistance and be sure your opponents do the same, the only solution is... play big chess :)
Pablo Schmid (2007-03-12 00:22:02)
Haha
Notice that giving a pawn in the starting position is not necessary a big disadvantage, depending of which pawn. For example I do it "everytime" with 1.d4 d5 2.e4 dxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3 (BDG) where after 4..exf3 5.Nxf3, it seems to be a "normal" position, but without the f pawn. And my claim is: White have a dynamical equality with best play against best play!

Pablo Schmid (2008-05-06 14:33:19)
Jason,
I would like to know how you refute the line which begin with 10..Bf5 instead of your opponent's move 10..Qe7. It usually continues with 10..Bf5 11.e4 Qe7 12.Bg2 0-0-0 and now what? And when you say that after 4..Nf6 you don't see how Black can get the pawn back, I want to say that chess is not all about material but activity. So it might be possible that with best play, even if Black can't get the pawn back, they could reach a dynamical equality.
Pablo Schmid (2008-05-06 20:13:21)
To Andrew
I would play 13..Bd7 to leave the e-file open. If 14.Bf2 then I play 14..f5 and I see nothing wrong for Black for the moment. 14.Kd1, I didn't look at that move, it seems interesting but really, Iam not that afraid. RIP? Easy to say...
Jason Repa (2008-05-06 22:01:25)
10...Bf5
A good question Pablo. This is one of the points where I felt that Frenchie made an improvement. The main line used to be 10...Bf5, which I believe is worse than 10...Qe7, because White is a move up after the Bishop on f5 must move again soon.
For example; 10...Bf5 11.e4 Qe7 12.Bg2 0-0-0 13.Be3!+/-
Jason Repa (2008-05-06 22:07:42)
From's Gambit
"And when you say that after 4..Nf6 you don't see how Black can get the pawn back, I want to say that chess is not all about material but activity"
I realize that Pablo, probably a lot better than you do. I didn't state, nor imply that White was up an entire pawn or that Black didn't have some compensation (albeit probably not enough) for the pawn. If you re-read both my thread and the one I was responding to, you will see that we weren't discussing the amount of dynamic compensation that Black gets for sacrificing the pawn. We were discussing whether or not Black gets his pawn back. End of story.
Pablo Schmid (2008-05-06 23:13:38)
Jason,
"I realize that Pablo, probably a lot better than you do" What? How do you know? You know nothing about me and you say that... "We were discussing whether or not Black gets his pawn back" Is that question more important than "Does Black have a sufficient compensation for the pawn"? "For example; 10...Bf5 11.e4 Qe7 12.Bg2 0-0-0 13.Be3!+/-" Easy response when I already said that I would play 13..Bd7 here and now what?
Pablo Schmid (2008-05-07 00:34:11)
...
"Actually you're wrong once again Pablo. I know that you're only a 1912 rated player on this site" Yeah, on this site... I began here as a 1700 (the first rating here) and I lost many games on time or because I was very busy and in a hurry to play a move without checking seriously to not lose on time. And corr rating does not mean everything. I play OTB too. Do you? I would be happy to play with you, even if you seems a bit arrogant when I see the way you speak in general. And still, when I read that: "FYI, 5...Nc6 doesn't "put up more of a fight". It loses immediately to 6.Bxg5. I rarely have anyone play that badly against me in an online bullet game, let alone a cc game. and in the line with 4...Nf6 (called the Mestel Variation), there is no clear way for Black to win his pawn back. " There is not discussion about material, you seems to judge the position on the fact that Black could not regain the pawn, so they are worse...
Jason Repa (2008-05-06 23:41:40)
Pablo
"I realize that Pablo, probably a lot better than you do. 'What? How do you know? You know nothing about me and you say that...'" Actually you're wrong once again Pablo. I know that you're only a 1912 rated player on this site. And I also know that you have difficulty understanding the difference between a discussion of dynamic compensation for material, and one of simply whether or not material can be recovered. Only in your mind is there the implication that "chess is all about material". Material is one parameter, and that is the parameter that was being discussed. You need to learn to understand that. Nobody was saying that was the only parameter to consider, or that it was the most important parameter to consider.
Andrew Stephenson (2008-05-07 05:15:58)
f4 or not f4
1.0 Pablo here is a link you should read: http://www.avlerchess.com/chess-analysis/A_BRAND_NEW_Chessbase_9_for_sale_on_eBay_92649.html 2.0 Mr Repa here is a comment about the Dutch defense: "Black's ...f5 stakes a serious claim to the e4 square and looks towards an attack on White's kingside in the middlegame. However, it weakens Black's own kingside somewhat, and does nothing to contribute to Black's development" My point exactly about 1 f4 3.0 Mr Repa's chess federation of canada rating is listed as 2010 with an active rating of 1737. If he reaches am expected rating here of, by his account, 2370+ then everyone will be impressed particularly as Mr Repa says "I think I'm a bit out gunned here.I'm running BATTLE CHESS on a Commodore 64. I believe its running at 1.023 MHz." 4.0 It might be battle chess that accounted for the following cc (!) game as black he played against Torsten Opas 1.e4 e6 2.Nc3 d5 3.d4 Nf6 4.exd5 exd5 5.Nf3 Nc6 6.Bb5 Be7 7.Ne5 Bd7 8.O-O O-O 9.Bg5 h6 10.Bh4 a6 11.Bxc6 Bxc6 12.Re1 Re8 13.Qf3 Qd6 14.Re3 Qb4 15.Rae1 Bd8 16.Qf5 Qxd4 (oops)17.Bxf6 Bxf6 and the game is already lost 5.0 Together with his loss with 1f4 that he forgot about here is another example of the correct treatment of f4 by black against Mr Repa 1.f4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3 g6 4.b3 Bg7 5.Bb2 O-O 6.Be2 b6 7.O-O Bb7 8.d3 c5 9.Ne5 Nfd7 10.d4 e6 11.Nd2 Nc6 12.Nxc6 Bxc6 completely dead for white no prospects and duly drawn. Like I said 1 f4 is a waste at cc. I doubt we shall see Mr Repa use it again against a good opponent on this site. 6.0 All the games I referred to were white victories OTB with 1. f4 "Look what happened to Evgeny Alexseev as black - a very strong 2600+ GM at the time - he continued 6 ..b6 7 h3 c5 8 Qe1 Bb7 9 g4 and lost to IM Sengupta." Alexseev lost and the criticisms of IM Sengupta's moves by Mr Repa are quite funny - thats the whole point. At cc Sengupta's play would not be impressive but otb it was effective. Incidentally the game was played in 2004 in India 8.0 1 g4 is like 1 b4? Well that is clearly wrong. There have been no GM - GM encounters with 1 g4 there have been several with 1 b4 including Topalov v Malakhatsov. Over 50 IM's and a dozen GM's have played 1 b4 very few have ever played g4. 1 f4 has been championed by GM Jakubiec who is the only GM who has played it regularly. 9.0 "What is weird is that the conversation began with quite civil exchanges before tiny criticisms quickly escalated to nuclear mode despite my genuine and exhaustive efforts at diffusion and removal of misinterpretation" Can anyone guess who is being written about here on another chess site?
Pablo Schmid (2008-05-07 08:29:01)
My last message to you
Too much insults. My OTB rating is stronger than yours, but I don't wanna tell you my life. But even the level is not the problem. Every GM that played against me always respected me, so they can be better and sympathic. Before a chessplayer, I am an human and I hope in real life you don't speak like that to the people. No need to insult, I never did to you and I won't even if you did. Now I won't speak with you anymore and if I play with you one day by the server, I will try my best to beat your machines. Thibaut De Vassal, j'espère que tu vas réagir face à un tel comportement, car je pense que tu es d'accord avec moi que c'est intolérable, un tel manque de respect.
Jason Repa (2008-05-07 12:45:03)
Pablo BACKS DOWN!
Your OTB rating is NOT stronger than mine, liar. If it were you'd step up to the plate and play me, instead of backing down as you're doing. You're probably a 1500-1700 elo OTB player. Considering your rather beginnerish question about the Lasker From, I might be giving you too much credit at that. You know as well as I do that you'd be lucky to get a single draw in ten games against me. I'd probably just win all ten.
Do you always run around challenging people to a chess match on the internet, then retreat like a frightened animal, with your tail between your legs, when they accept your challenge? How pathetic is that? I was looking forward to playing some human mind vs human mind chess with you, but the idea of actually having to THINK and use your own mind to come up with the moves was too much for you to deal with, so you BACKED DOWN like a little girl!
Jason Repa (2008-05-07 12:50:12)
Pablo BACKS DOWN!
And you're the one who started with the insults Pablo. You don't run around calling people "arrogant" because you're frustrated at your own inability to comprehend what
"and in the line with 4...Nf6 (called the Mestel Variation), there is no clear way for Black to win his pawn back."
means. And challenging someone to a chess match then backing down as you have done is BEYOND PATHETIC!
Pablo Schmid (2008-06-10 21:33:16)
Always the same guy
It's always the same guy, I don't even want to write his name, he would be happy. In each topic where he speaks there is a new victim, he is sure to be the most intelligent and take everything personnally, and insult anybody who don't think like him. I don't know why Ilmars's comment have been deleted, I didn't read them but the King of insults seems to have impunity. If you put his name on google you will see how much trouble he makes everywhere. That behavior should really not be accepted here. I never saw a chess player so rude in my life.
Pablo Schmid (2008-06-15 10:56:36)

Maybe it's already exist in another form but I will try."The best correspondance player at chess is not the human who has the best computer but the computer who has the best human".

Je profite de ce post pour parler d'un "problème", sur une partie j'ai fait une promotion de pion en dame mais j'ai été "désagréablement" surpris que bien que c'était le coup que je voulais faire, le site ne m'a pas proposé la pièce promue. Ok, dans 95% des cas, faire dame est le meilleur coup mais parfois promouvoir en autre chose est le seul coup...Pourrais-tu remédier à ce "problème"?
Thibault de Vassal (2008-12-08 00:02:42)
Promotion
Bonjour Pablo, la solution se trouve dans le règlement et l'aide (mais effectivement, on peut avoir oublié entre temps), il suffit de respecter la notation PGN anglaise, par exemple en saisissant c8N ou c8=N, le pion en c8 se transformera en cavalier.
Pablo Schmid (2008-12-08 23:05:30)
Ok
Mais si quelqu'un a joué la promotion sans préciser en pensant avoir le choix après, que ce passe-il, "tant pis pour lui"?

e4 c5 Nf3 e6
This move is generally played to reach the Sicilian Taimanov or the Sicilian Kan(Paulsen).
The advantage of e6 is to keep options open for the bishop of the dark squares. But it as somes disadvantages too: The sicilian with c3 or b3 is stronger here compared to 2..d6 or 2..Nc6 because e6 limits Black's options.

e4 Nf6 Nc3
This is the main alternative to e5, but it is easier to Black to reach equality. They can play 2..e5 transposing into the Vienna game (1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6), or play the sharp 2..d5!? to stay in an independant line.

Thibault de Vassal (2425)
e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5 a6
The main move. Black doesn't fear the "loss" of the e5 pawn : 3.Bxc6 dxc6! 4.Nxe5?! because of ..Qd4! with equallity at worst.
Morphy Defence, by far the most commonly played Black third move which "puts the question" to the white bishop. White has only two good options, 4.Bxc6 or 4.Ba4. The main point to 3...a6 is that after the common retreat 4.Ba4, Black will have the possibility of breaking the pin on his queen knight by playing ...b5. In fact, White must take some care to not fall into the Noah's Ark Trap in which Black traps White's king bishop on the b3-square with a ...a6, ...b5, and ...c4 pawn advance on the queenside.

This was known as a "Duffer's move" by Tarrash but has been used throughout history by several notable chess personalities.

Steinitz, Fischer, and I consider this to be White's best chance to get an advantage.

With this move, Black ignores the threat of Qxe5+ to gain somes tempo.

It's too late to change the plan, White had to think before playing that queen's move.

Black continues to developp himself and will gain another tempo with Nc6.

This is the Sicilian Kan (or sometimes called Paulsen.
Black plays a6 to allow Qc7 (by preventing a White Nb5) and enable ...b5.

Threatening to regain the pawn with 9..Bxf2 10.Kxf2 Nxd5, or with 9..Nxd5 first.

It's better to try regaining the pawn with the knight. White can try to hold the pawn with c4 or Bb5+ followed by c4, but Black should not fear that.
