Accept Draw and resign......
It's an act of confused consciousness, which might be made out of generosity or curiosity, but which ultimately leads to a loss of half a point for oneslf plus a loss of rating points for oneself which through the law of 'a reaction for every action' guarantees the opponent some gains, thereby making the initial decision maker a "bad clicker!".

It's been widely rumoured that when the big "K" met the big "O", big "K" asked for some of the stimulus money that big "O" was dishing out at record speed. Unfortunately, that question proved to be end of their friendship. lol!

First it was "hanging chads" that became popular. Now it's a "hanging G", I guess. The "G" seems to be in the spotlight these days. Hence a G spot.

IECG WC 2006 final
As the IECG WC 2006 final just started, this is a good time to end the game. Quite surprising but finally, after 2 or 3 discussions about it, noone solved it and found me (some really looked for though) ;)
Clues were : Playing this year in a world championship final, birthdate (1973-04-13), first FICGS rating (2407, IECG rating), movies (a few players at IECG and FICGS knew about it, the trailer of 'A Clockwork Orange' where the other name is mentioned...
Here is the message I sent to my opponents :
"Dear chessfriends,
That's a real pleasure and honor to play my first IECG WC final with you all. Dinesh, Carlos, Farit, Massimiliano and John, nice to play again :)
I'm 34, single, living in the center of France... I play correspondence chess since 2002, IECG is the place I started with.
I made a few strange movies and videos a few years ago (soon available on the internet) :)

I wanted to play correspondence chess under my director's name but I'm now more known in our small CC world as Thibault de Vassal... I'm the webmaster of FICGS - http://www.ficgs.com , another Correspondence Chess Server, where I knew some of you :) .. Sorry about the confusion. I don't know how IECG rules will apply, I hope I can play this tournament anyway.
Best of luck to all !

As an IGAME player I express my opinion. Everything is not so simple!
1. Some strong chessplayers like Morozevich on ICC would not like to show their real names. Should they all be driven away from all chess cites? I am not sure. :-)
2. Your rating-leader is Viktor Savinov, he have not played a single game here. Our rating-leader is Polina. Are you sure that they should be the captains of our teams?
3,4. Legendary chessplayers like Viktor Kortchnoj or Bobby Fischer are sometimes abusive. But I am not sure that they should be driven away.
5. There is no any titles on IGAME. We are anonymous Russian amateours.
In general, I think that chess cites of all kinds are necessary and useful. And a chessplayer must have a choice: FICGS, IGAME, ICCF, GAMEKNOT, PLAYCHESS.DE, CHESSHERE and so on. Each cite has its own customs and traditions.
By the way, it makes matches between them more interesting. I believe in IGAME anonymous fighters. :-)
Best wishes, Mobutu (my IGAME nickname)
Dinesh De Silva (2007-08-09 06:51:22)
Real names in chess websites
I have some critical suggestions: 1. Chess websites should allow players only to play under their REAL NAMES. Using any nicknames or fake names should be prohibited, as it leads to all sorts of confusion at one point or another. 2. In chess websites, whenever a question of which player to give captaincy arrives, the highest rated player should always be given first choice, UNLESS that player declines or that player has been proven to have broken rules or rules state a specific way of choosing a captain. 3. In chess websites, accusations against any player should be rejected IF there is no clear proof. 4. Players who still continue abusing each other after some warnings should be disqualified/thrown out. There should be no favourations whatsoever. 5. When awarding titles, it should be clearly stated from where the title was earned fom. For example, if a player gets an IM title at Igame, it should be stated as Igame IM.

Re:
Tano-Urayoan! Thank you very much for the translation. It seems accurate.
Tano-Urayoan Russi Roman (2007-08-05 07:38:46)
Translation (most accurate i could do)
"The ending is clearly drawn. There is no way to force in as the white king is badly placed and could not escape the black queen's checks. Luzuriaga's analysis starts with 48. Qe5+ so we assumed that would had been the move he played if the game had continued. If black's reply 48. Kg8, a bad move (Luzuriaga's analysis) that will result in a lost position for black. De Silva analyses that 48. Kh7 will result in a drawn endgame. I have checked all the variations in the computer and the result is the same for all of them DRAW."
Dinesh De Silva (2007-08-05 06:45:36)
A translation needed
Can anyone translate for me the following into English: "El final es claramente tablas, no hay forma de forzar la posición, ya que el Rey blanco está mal ubicado y no puede zafar del perpetuo de la Dama negra. El análisis de Luzuriaga comienza con la jugada 48.Qe5+ por lo que se presume que ésa hubiese sido su jugada de continuarse la partida. La réplica negra 48. ... Kg8 que él indica es mala y lleva a una posición perdida para las negras, pero si las negras juegan 48. ...Kh7 como bien indica De Silva en sus análisis no hay forma de ganar el final. He comprobado todas las variantes en la computadora y en todas ellas el resultado es el mismo TABLAS."

Haha! Good point! I actually do sleep. In the game you refer to, I was actually lucky to make the time control. Nevertheless, I had earlier lost a few games due to sleep! as I sometimes missed moves by a mere few seconds to time control. Some of those games I had some good positions Anyway, the main thing here is I enjoy my games win, draw or lose.

A certain email chess website.....
Dear chess friends, I want to bring to your attention that there's a certain chess website (which plays only by email) of a certain South American country where the main Arbitor who owns the website cheats and favours certain players in a world championship final. Playing there is at your own risk.
1.He protects certain players by saving them when they even have stepped the time limit twice. (He cunningly sends the game into adjudication etc., instead of dealing with the proof). 2.When requesting that an opponent should provide email proof in certain critical situations, he protects them by refusing that at all times. 3.He blames the persons who make a claim by saying "Don't Be Rude!", instead of taking action against those who clearly break rules. 4.The website keeps popping in and out on the internet, and the website says its under construction most of the time! 5.He does not send monthly reports to players. 6.He does not show finished games. 7.He stays silent for months and says he has lost files due to a virus. 8.He does not include some finished games in some reports. 9.At least 3 other players have already withdrawn from the tourney. 10.He has extended the tourney twice already! obviously trying to favour his favourite playes who are very slow players to climb up in the list. Pathetic!

Re:
It seems someone is trying to force issues by always trying to be confrontational. Any player who tries to be high & mighty & aggressive is surely unstable. What people like I & Miguel Pires were doing is just making a suggestion & making friendly debate. Maybe there should be a poll to determine if the vacation period should be increased or not. It's all upto Thibault, of course. Whichever way he decides, we as players would accept it in a friendly, calm, peaceful manner, unlike a very few who try to impose their will on matters by thinking they are ALWAYS correct..
Miguel Pires (2007-06-26 18:23:36)
Vacation
Hi, I ask to Thibault to discuss this in the forum because, like Dinesh De Silva have sayed, you can have a some sort of (i don't have a better word) problems that make you postpone your games. In ICCF at any tournament you have 30 days/vacation for ich tournament. My problem is not with the tournaments with 10/40 Days are in the 30+1. In this first 6 months i've a lot of issues to solve (professional and personal thing's) that i've to postpone a lot. Now thing's are more or less calm, but if we have more time or the rules are equal to ICCF my new tournaments can have 30 days, and if i need to postpone now i can't postpone the oldest and the new tournaments because i've not more days. I now that is the rules but i think more time (Like Gamknot) or the same rule like ICCF can help a lot. Another idia is do like (i think) IECG or IECC, that if you need a special live they can give you that (i think if you have someone in the hospital, important biseness to a long period can feet in the "special leave"). Is only my opinion. Best Regard's Miguel Pires

Re:
Alexander has explained it excellently.
Dinesh De Silva (2007-06-26 09:33:10)
Re:
I think there should be at least an option of an extra 10 days to the current 30 days per year. The point is that there are such things as computers breaking down, computers hit with viruses, business travel commitments, planning a holiday etc. I think the majority are not glued to the internet all the time. These factors far outweigh other things. So to relieve the situation, an extra 10 days might be a good idea.

Well, as opinions might change quickly in a voter's mind even until the final moments of casting a vote, lets call an an election a DECISION POLL.
Dinesh De Silva (2007-03-18 06:14:25)
Re:
I have an opinion. It is that no opinion polls should be held at all. To substantiate my opinion, we should hold an opinion poll to decide if there should be or should not be any opinion polls. Whatever the final opinion, the opinion doesn't count. Those who have no opinion at all should let their opinion be known too. Hehe!

"FIN DE SIECLE", "TOUT LE MONDE", "TU AMOR" (there are French versions, English versions & English+French versions of this song) & "JOE LE TAXI" are amongst my favourites.

Re:
A bit........mostly popular words & phrases. I've heard a lot of French songs, and it sounds nice. I plan to learn more of the French language.

Perhaps Sarkozy might win as he's "a Bove" Bayrout, Voynet, Besancenot, de Villiers, Aignant & Nihous. It might be proven again that (the)Pen is mightier than (the) Royal Buffet. Lastly, LaGuiller(tine) will face the chop.

...., Qd5+ leads to an easy draw. How did Topalov miss it? A mystery.

Re:
Nicola, I bet Kasparov will see your comments and will be mighty pleased! Who knows, he just might even give you some free chess lessons. One thing is certain., Kasparov will NOT give Vladimir Putin of Russia any free chess lessons. Haha!
Dinesh De Silva (2007-02-23 10:15:35)
Re:
Nicola, Thanks for the update. Yes, this particular Morelia-Linares tourney seems to be the most interesting tourney amongst SuperGMs we have witnessed for quite some time.
Dinesh De Silva (2007-02-23 08:59:26)
Re
What is more interesting is Top. hardly looks like he'll be able to score a full point against anyone in this tourney. Hmm. I wonder why. Ran out of lucky teddy bears perhaps?!!..... Maybe manager demanding a salary increase perhaps? lol.
Dinesh De Silva (2007-02-19 01:02:03)
Re:
Valer's idea is very good. There certainly should be a team from FICGS to take part in the champions league 2007-2009 season.
Dinesh De Silva (2007-02-17 07:33:13)
Re:
A "Schliemann" variation, isn't it?! Two of the most interesting correspondence chess players I've come across on FICGS are Peter & Krol because they play very exciting lines.
Dinesh De Silva (2007-02-13 08:45:07)
Re:
What's the latest on this saga?! Does these gestures of Danailov seem to suggest certain precise moves like pawn captures, pawn pushes, piece captures etc?!

Re:
Do you think Illya Nyzhnyk's feelings would be hurt if chess officials ban him from carrying a teddy bear in future tournaments?! Or will they scan/ monitor or even interrogate the teddy bear?! Will Illya lodge a complaint citing cruelty to kids & teddies?! Will this divide the chess world in two?! Lastly, will there be a sizeable increase in sales for similar teddy bears by chess players who might think that these teddies might make them very strong players?!?
Dinesh De Silva (2007-02-09 11:58:30)
Re:
Does Illya Nyzhnyk carry the teddy bear at all times while he plays?! Do you think it's a lucky mascot or something?!

Titles update from FIDE / ICCF / IECG
Hello to all.
A reminder : "It is possible to update the best title obtained from FIDE, ICCF or IECG just by sending an email to FICGS."
Rule 11.8 - http://www.ficgs.com/membership.html#rating
I just updated titles from IECG for Dinesh de Silva (FIM), Harry Ingersol (FIM) and Wolfgang Riemer (FEM). Congrats :)
Dinesh De Silva (2007-01-17 14:49:23)
Re:
I had some interesting conversations with Nigel during some games on FICGS last year. It was great that a GM like him played on this site. Best wishes to him.

Re:
Hi, Marc or Elmer I need an English translation for the following message too: " Queria aclararle solamente que yo no había recibido el mail que esta reenviando. Por favor, asegurese que su servidor este funcionando bien. A partir de este momento, de no recibir alguno de vuestros mails, si despues hay un reclamo de parte de alguno de ustedes, deberé tomar como que el mensaje no se envió, cargando el tiempo perdido al jugador en falta. Esta medida la tomaré de ahora en mas a fin de evitar inconvenientes y que la partida finalice de la mejor manera posible. Pasando en limpio, en caso de no tener copias de vuestros envios, deberé decidir a favor del reclamante sin más tramite. Saludos cordiales y Feliz Año Nuevo."

Re:
Hi, Thibault No, it's a message from a TS on another correspondence chess website to an opponent & me regarding a game. I need a translation in English as I don't know what the message says.
Dinesh De Silva (2006-12-29 18:33:20)
An English translation needed......
Could any Spanish speaking player please translate the following to English? It would be much appreciated: "Estimados amigos, A fin de evitar mayores problemas en vuestra partida, he decidido que ambos jugadores envíen copia de sus mail obligatoriamente a mi dirección hasta el final de la partida. Yo recibiré esos mails y los archivaré en una carpeta especial."

Re:
There'll obviously be sound detectors, metal detectors etc. in major chess tournaments in the near future to catch cheaters. So, I think that though the bluetooth case is a setback to the integrity of the sport right now, such cases can be detected successfully most of the time.
Dinesh De Silva (2006-12-21 10:40:17)
Re:
A real cliffhanger! My opponent Krol is a very good player. When endings are interesting as this, correspondence chess is the ultimate winner.
Dinesh De Silva (2006-12-17 04:13:25)
Re:
Thibault, What's the current top 10 correspondence chess websites according to Google?!
Dinesh De Silva (2006-12-16 05:39:02)
Re:
The DF 10 vs Kramnik game was a bit disappointing (probably because of Kramnik's shocking blunder & his loss in the last game which gave DF 10 a spiffy looking 4:2 win), but I guess the games were quite interesting to analyse. A World Championship match every 6 months is much too soon. Maybe every 10 months might be more reasonable.
Marius Zubac (2006-12-16 02:51:34)
Vacation clock frozen, with 1 exception
Hello Thibault. Before I requested my vacation I have captured all the situation of my running games including the number of days. The clock is frozen for all games except my game 2932 from FICGS_CHESS_CLASS_SM_000002 against Mr. de Silva. Initially it was 51 days. Today I looked again and is 49. Maybe there is a bug somewhere. Please look into it. Thank you. Best whishes for the Holliday season, Marius
Dinesh De Silva (2006-12-10 17:37:05)
Re:
I fully agree with the view that the candidates match should be played in 6 games at least, and the knockout tournament should be at least 2 or 3 rounds long.
Dinesh De Silva (2006-11-23 07:54:47)
Re:
Mr Bell, Thanks for the info! It's a bit different from other sites, but I now have an understanding of it's structure of play. I have registered on your site. I will start playing my first tourney there soon. Best regards.
Dinesh De Silva (2006-11-23 04:14:40)
Re:
I think I figured it out: 1. A player has to log in to that site at least once every 7 days. 2. A player does not know whether his/her opponent has made a move until he/she logs in to check out. 3. A player who fails to make a move within 7 days loses the game. What I haven't figured out is whether computer analysis is allowed or not. Is it totally banned there???
Dinesh De Silva (2006-11-22 13:08:37)
Re:
Henceforth there's a good chance of Almira S. and Alexandra K. being dubbed "Pokerhontas" and "Pokermon" respectively in the chess world. Haha!
Dinesh De Silva (2006-11-22 05:54:24)
Re:
How much clock time per game per player???
Dinesh De Silva (2006-11-15 02:17:33)
Re:
He will most probably play semi closed openings & defences, which gives a slight/miniscule advantage or equality somewhere, avoiding early tactical open positions. So we might not see any Sicilian at all as Black in his repertoire. He'll try his best to outwit the computer by sometimes introducing deviations or novelties in the first 25 moves or so.
Dinesh De Silva (2006-11-13 07:41:10)
Re:
Yes, the informations regarding Mr Macarsindale is very interesting! I did some quick research & found out that he speaks quite a number of languages.......English,French,German,Dutch,Portugese.......
Dinesh De Silva (2006-11-10 14:26:37)
Re:
A translation in English about what was discussed in this forum thread would be useful.
Dinesh De Silva (2006-11-07 15:45:25)
Re:
Charlie, I'm almost certain that Fischer played some sorta return match versus Spassky somewhere in the ninetees in Yugoslavia!?? & won. Maybe Thibault knows some details about it.
Dinesh De Silva (2006-11-06 05:59:08)
Re:
What was the last tournament Fischer played in?!...... the rematch with Spassky in the 1990s?!?
There are 0 results for De Silva in wikichess.
