FICGS council / staff
In will have a lot of time!
Paul-Iosif Guralivu (2006-04-13 15:19:03)
New Titles!
To make FICGS more atractive and original I propose to make new titles for every category of players:
Candidate for Master(FCM) - 2000-2200
First category (FI) - 1800-2000
Secound category (FII) - 1200-1800
Third category (FIII) - 800-1200
Every of this category could be obtain if a player plays more than 12 games in tournaments with tha same ELO.
What do you think about it ?
P.S.:Don't be mad on me...It's just a proposition.
Paul-Iosif Guralivu (2006-04-13 15:22:36)
A new comision for this!
I also propose to make a new comision for giving this titles.

New Titles
Hello Paul-Iosif.
Interesting new idea. In my opinion, there are too many titles & titled players already from official & "non-official" organizations. I think this is a mistake from FIDE / ICCF they couldn't remedy anymore. Titles from other organizations and particularly IECG are not really a problem "more", cause they are hard to achieve (rare), but I don't think this could be so attractive for players. To get a title is a reward itself. Maybe even EM title shouldn't exist.
But I think that ie. a KM title (over GM) could be an interesting idea !
Anyway, I'm ok with the commission idea, we'll vote that too.
Another interesting & controversial idea is (as IECG do) titles not to be awarded for life ! If player's rating decrease, he could lost his title... but I don't think this is very fair.

New Titles
I agree it's a bit confusion, but there are a lot of players wich never achieves a title..so that will be atractive.
About the fact that the title to be removed it's a bit unfair, because it's hard to be achieved...
-----
My humble opinion
Paul-Iosif Guralivu (2006-04-13 16:25:01)
New Titles
I agree that the rating in a way.
I was proposing that because it like in my country where chess players start with a the third category and continue with II and I and cadidate master after which it's coming the Master title. So that will simulate more the country system...
Paul-Iosif Guralivu (2006-04-13 16:30:20)
New Titles
Again,
Their is no problem if you don't create such titles...
I was only proposing... and I will submit to the decitions of the FICGS council...
God bless FICGS!
Thibault de Vassal (2006-04-13 17:01:58)
:-)
We'll discuss about on the council mailing list, Paul-Iosif. If we decide to create such titles, we will create them.
Paul-Iosif Guralivu (2006-04-17 18:31:35)
What about my name!
My name in english would be translated like this: Talkative Paul-Joseph...
If I were a american, would you let me join ?
Paul-Iosif Guralivu (2006-04-18 00:25:05)
Explaining
I put that quesion more like a joke...
Put on the other hadn I asked it, because you didn't let Holycron to join....
Thibault de Vassal (2006-04-18 00:39:05)
Sorry, Paul-Iosif
But I don't understand.. (must be tired :)) Is there a play on words in your american name ? Kieron Holycron (Quieron holy crown) is ok but...
Paul-Iosif Guralivu (2006-04-18 12:43:47)
Deadline ?
When is the deadline for a player which didn't moved ?
In IECG is 10 days...
Is in FICGS some limite ?
Paul-Iosif Guralivu (2006-04-18 13:15:10)
Let's forget every thing.
Talkative means 'the one who speak a lot'.
Thibault de Vassal (2006-04-24 11:00:22)
Forfeit , 2006 April 24
Paul-Iosif forfeited all his running games. Only games 87, 149 and 150 will be unrated. (too few moves played)
Sorry about that.
Iosif Paulov (2006-05-20 18:44:05)
That's great!
All the info that you can see is great
Paul-Iosif Guralivu (2006-06-06 09:59:27)
Invite other players.
Or you could invite players from countries that have too many players to play for Sri lanka team and you would be the captain.
Paul-Iosif Guralivu (2006-06-30 10:50:31)

Games lost on time
Hello Paul-Iosif.
When a game is lost on time you just have to wait a few hours and the game is adjudicated automatically.
I'll try to make a replacement in the tournament soon. You may have noticed that the game has been rated as a loss for your opponent, but not as a win for you, according to the rules cause less than 10 moves have been played.
Paul-Iosif Guralivu (2006-07-06 20:35:49)
Some interesting!
I think this site has more succes then other(which haven't reach 500 after a few years), because:
-it's offer an online way to move
-it's allow players from other sites to keep their titles
-and offers other title
Paul-Iosif Guralivu (2006-07-13 22:02:02)
Days for a move
I a player doesn't move for about 20 day... I think his games should be declared as lost....
I don't know what is the actual limit... but it's look like is bigger than 40 days

Hello Ivan :)
You are understood in a correct way ! .. Only rules aren't. As I said to Sergey while discussing the match, there's no problem with nicknames, as long as it is "a" real name, not a famous name !
Of course you can understand that I can't register ie. Iosif Stalin or Andrei Chikatilo ;) .. But any "common" russian name is ok.
In example, your first name is ok, your last name is ok, but both could have been avoided :)
Best wishes, Thibault

Patches
My own laws of murphy about patches(being a programmer) - from my own experience:
1. A patch will allways replace a bug with more.
2. A patch will make your program taking more space on hdd,
and more memory while running.
Effects: Higher probability of operating system to crash,
because of lake of resources
Therefore the probability of program to crash is direct
proportional with the number and the size of patches.

From SF to Religion.
The funny part about Scientology is that the founder of this religion was a SF book writer.
And one day he realized that what he wrote as SF in reality is the divine true.
What the *******?

In 1986 L. Ron Hubbard disappear.
At that time there were questions concerning this. What really happend with him.

FICGS Birthday?
Hi all,
Member # 12 (ROU). That's me. I think I joined before April 2006.
I don't remember how I joined and how I found it.
Thibault de Vassal (2011-04-05 11:49:56)
FICGS Birthday?
Hi Paul-Iosif !
For the story, I remember how Paul-Iosif joined FICGS because he is the first & ONLY member not from my personal friends who joined FICGS even before I announced it (which was a true surprise to me)! I remember that you found it through Google that indexed FICGS before that there is any friendly link pointing to it (probably thanks to a "whois" website).
Thanks Paul-Iosif for being still there 5 years later :)
Paul-Iosif Guralivu (2011-04-05 18:33:44)
FICGS Birthday?
Hi Thibault!
The truth is that I wasn't always active in the FICGS comunity. Nor I'm a very good player.
But I still do enjoy chess.
And I'm happy FICGS provides a place where you can say: "Hey I played in an unofficial World Chess Championshiop".
