Talk:ChessGames.com

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I took out the names of Nigel Short and Patrick Wolff as members of chessgames.com for I see no evidence of them posting. Of course, they may be non-posting members; if shown, I would gladly see their name back up.

I added the line about creating chess diagrams by the Forsyth-Edwards notation; it is a feature which others chess discussion sites seem not to have.

If I recall correctly, it was annoucned on chessgames.com that it is one of the most frequently viisted chess sites, perhaps #2; I am trying to find evidence for this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.38.205.230 (talk • contribs).

Two small things-- first, Patrick Wolff and Nigel Short are both members, they did indeed sign up but to date neither one has kibitzed. http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessuser?uname=patrickwolff is Wolff's account and http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessuser?uname=nigel+short is Short's account. Short in fact has never shown up since the day he signed up, so perhaps it's best to not mention either of these two.

Second small thing-- the "#2 chess site on the internet" comes from Alexa's traffic analysis. Chessgames uses it in their advertising material. I can't vouch for Alexa's methodologies, but it seems pretty reasonable. According to the list of "users current online", one can see that there are hundreds of people (but rarely over 1000) using the site any time of the day or night.
