MissScarlett: The world snooker championship starts tmoz. As usual, the main interest lies in how quickly all the Chinese players will be eliminated. This year, there's a record 10 of them in the 32-man field.

MissScarlett: Howard Staunton (kibitz #561) Here I explained where I believe the date of April orignated from. But who was the bright spark? In the <Oxford Companion to Chess> (1e, 1984) by Whyld & Hooper, the entry for Staunton has: <He [Staunton] states he was born in Westmorland

MissScarlett: Anything wrong with Part 3?

MissScarlett: <Well, that's an interesting question as the chess column for July 13 from the <Times-Democrat> appears to be missing from Newspapers.com.> Do you mean the column is missing or the reproduction of that issue in incomplete?

MissScarlett: <[Source "Merquiades Q."] > I need more.

MissScarlett: Not in a systemic way in the form of a list. But if you know the last addition to the DB was Koltanowski vs E Lien, 1951 , you can manually countback from gid=2875579 and get a flavour.

MissScarlett: I doubt the PGNs of these Grenke events will be readily available. As there are 260+ players in the Freestyle open, so 130 odd games per round, I think the top 30 boards at most should suffice.
 
   Apr-18-25 W Pollock vs Bird, 1886 (replies)
 
MissScarlett: George Salmon en croute on the menu. Roast Lamb with D Minte sauce over the weekend.

  fredthebear: Who has inside access to my account and authorized to destroy my material ? ? ?
May-08-24
Premium Chessgames Member
  MissScarlett: A loaded question. Is the alleged malfeasance ongoing?
May-09-24
Premium Chessgames Member
  fredthebear: I'll answer your question if you'll answer mine.

Premium Chessgames Member
  MissScarlett: Only <Miss Susan> and <steve> would have the access, to my knowledge.
May-10-24
Premium Chessgames Member
  fredthebear: That's a fair answer.

I suspect a few more long-time characters would be/are quite glad to participate in the slashings, authorized or not. It's a short, familiar list.

"Alleged" is the wrong word. The destruction of my material is obvious, deliberate, widespread. Malfeasance certainly fits. A matter of dislike if not vengeance, justifying abuse of power and privilege.

A fair, honest person(s) can disagree with others and doesn't need to hide one's actions. A fair, honest person(s) would accept responsibility and give a straightforward explanation of their actions. The deceitful lay ruin and cover-up their misdeeds.

Targeted harassment of Fredthebear's guinea pig account by privileged operators has been a daily problem in one form or another for years. It will continue until the perpetrators are held accountable, like photographers and thieves always having an eye out for their next opportunity.

Maybe CGs can hire Stephanie Clifford, ghost chaser extraordinaire to catch those responsible for this disappearing act. She puts on quite a show I'm told.

  perfidious: Contrary to the insinuation in the previous post, if I possessed such capabilities, there would be too many better things to do than to bother about such an account.

  fredthebear: Wrong word. Right word. Yes, as stated above.

Puffy announces his innocence. Anything to insert another cheap, useless post for your cheap, useless legacy, eh?

" ... too many better things to do..." says he.

  MissScarlett: When was the latest instance? Bring evidence or go home.
May-14-24
Premium Chessgames Member
  fredthebear: Why so interested in the latest instance? Each and every instance (hundreds of instances) matter to me.

It's not when it happened, it's the fact that it should never have happened -- it's so deliberately underhanded, wrong, unethical. The devious culprits are a danger to this website and must be banished.

  MissScarlett: Feel free to provide details of all or any instances, but if the alleged abuse is still happening after your public complaint, that surely would be significant. In any event, I need specifics to aid investigation.

  fredthebear: Susan is looking into the matter. I was expecting a statement by now. She has the power to get rid of the problem for good and get a replacement.

  perfidious: Before any further insinuations are made in this quixotic campaign, I should like to mention that I do not possess such powers, and would not exercise them if I did.

  MissScarlett: <Susan is looking into the matter.>

Are you sure? My understanding is that she's on holiday in Europe; Susan Freeman chessforum suggests she hasn't been seen in these parts since May 3rd. Your last post to that page dates from May 8th.

  offramp: I am out of the loop. Could someone please bring me up to speed about what has happened since the lockdown?

  Susan Freeman: I am back from holiday. Just to be clear, I intend to keep Daniel's legacy alive. I have had offers to buy CG and turn it into a gaming site, and,just as bad, redo the enire format. My goal is to preserve CG, with updating as needed. Daniel said CG was his child, so that makes it my grandchild. In the Baltic, on the high seas, starlink is not always available, so I was not always in touch. I am spending the summer in Greece on terra firma, and will have internet just like at home, so I will be lurking as usual. I look forward to visiting the sitesin Greece, tavernas,ouzo, and food. A short trip to Albania and the blue lagoon is an idea as well. Life is short, and I am spending my kids' inheritance. A big thank you to my helpers for your assistance. :)

  mifralu: < MissScarlett: In Whyld's <The Collected Games of Emanuel Lasker> (1998), amongst others he acknowledges the help of <M. A. Nepomuceno>. Over a dozen games played in Havana in 1906 credit the source as Nepomuceno. Anyone know of him? >

When choosing a future POTD consider using C O'Donnell vs J Rudd, 2016

  MissScarlett: I don't select such, only GOTD. Incidentally, I have been waiting for you to highlight Capablanca vs J W Rivkine, 1925.

  Sally Simpson: Done!

I always thought it was you who did POTD. Who do I contact for POTD suggestions?

  MissScarlett: I saw a name mentioned recently. It's not Steve. Ask Miss Susan.
