Good afternoon, Richard The other day you touched on the Corus relay. That was indeed a tough two weeks for me - hopefully my wife Anne and I will remain the best of friends after that! Fortunately, she understands chess well enough to appreciate some of the more spectacular and elegant games, which she kindly lets me play through with her afterwards! This is how these ChessWorld relays work: 1 Us relayers are given special access privileges. 2 We can paste each game's pgn into a private edit screen for that game. 3 We click "submit", whereupon the board for this pgn is displayed for all to see. The Corus tournament site, in common with most tournament sites, only provides a Java "pgn viewer" board, and not a pgn file that we can copy. The websites ICC and FICS do provide pgn for us to use. Unfortunately the pgn on these sites can disagree with the game on the tournament pgn viewer! Therefore I run several copies of a chess engine on my PC, one for each game being relayed: 1 On my chess engine I play the moves shown on the tournament site's Java viewer. 2 I copy the pgn now provided by my chess engine. 3 I paste this pgn into the ChessWorld submission screen. Through the course of a game, I might have to repeat this process 20 times or so. Sometimes, ICC and FICS have "on-site" relayers at tournaments, so that they do not have to work from the tournament's web-based Java viewer. This might explain the occasional discrepancies! You may be interested in whether Minnesota can relay some of its tournament games on ChessWorld, by having someone at the tournament using a laptop on the internet, with ChessWorld access privileges. This is something I would like to try for domestic competitions in the UK, maybe in central UK where I live. This general idea is also being discussed with others on ChessWorld. For this to work, it would seem to me that ChessWorld would need a new forum: - Forums > Chess Relays By analogy, the Chess Videos Forum was introduced in August 2007, following requests by myself and others at the London Social that month. I watch many of the videos, particularly those presented by Majnu! I should be interested in any thoughts you may have on all this. sonny robot (= Tony Robson) Clear above message (if you are sure it has been read) |
