Qd2 Bd3>.      Apr-22-25 C Tattersall vs H Barlow, 1904   MissScarlett: < Both players go on to play a nice game.

The Enigma of Howard Staunton

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 20 OF 20 ·  Later Kibitzing> May-06-24    fredthebear: Who has inside access to my account and authorized to destroy my material ? ? ? May-08-24    MissScarlett: A loaded question. Is the alleged malfeasance ongoing? May-09-24    fredthebear: I'll answer your question if you'll answer mine. May-09-24    MissScarlett: Only <Miss Susan> and <steve> would have the access, to my knowledge. May-10-24    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. May-11-24    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. May-11-24    MissScarlett: Is the alleged malfeasance ongoing? May-12-24    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. Chuckles. May-13-24    MissScarlett: When was the latest instance? Bring evidence or go home. May-14-24    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. May-14-24    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. May-15-24    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. May-15-24    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. May-16-24    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. May-17-24    offramp: I am out of the loop. Could someone please bring me up to speed about what has happened since the lockdown? May-23-24    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. :) Jun-07-24    mifralu: < MissScarlett: In Whyld's <The Collected Games of Emanuel Lasker> (1998), amongst others he acknowledges the help of <M.

I always thought it was you who did POTD. Who do I contact for POTD suggestions? Feb-28-25    MissScarlett: I saw a name mentioned recently. It's not Steve. Ask Miss Susan.
