Thanks for correcting my edits! I like chess very much too. What's your chess.com username? Mine is daveesh1208. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChubbyRook ( talk • contribs) 10:12, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
At the beginning of the article about Charles Maurian, it says he was an "amateur chess player". So it looks awkward to be removing him from the category "Amateur chess players".
This is aside from the usual questions about what an "amateur" is. For example, did Maurian make money from chess? He was a column editor, and also, perhaps his New Orleans Chess Club prize was worth something. (But, hmm, the current Pittsburgh CC championship does not have a money prize.) Sports people have been stripped of "amateur" titles for having taken money for sports performance, but in chess, not so much.
Is this a new category? Bruce leverett ( talk) 13:46, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
This category and its subcategories include people notable as chess players. (Category:Amateur chess players is the exception, since its members are notable for other things but have also attracted attention as chess amateurs. Amateur chess players are not categorized by nationality or put in any other chess players subcategory.)
This category is for people who were skilled but non-professional chess players and who are famous for some other reason.

I'm working on adding birthplaces to List of chess grandmasters using Di Felice and FIDE title applications as the sources. I'm only about a third of the way through the list so far and have a few more weeks of work to do since I don't feel like working on it every day: User:Quale/List of chess grandmasters - WIP. You probably have a lot of birthplace information in wikidata, so when I finish my first pass through the list I should find a way to compare it to wikidata. Probably that would find some errors I might have made as well as hints about some players that don't have birthplaces recorded in Di Felice or in their title applications. Quale ( talk) 02:54, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
I do personally not agree with the way you argue about this topic. I have argued why I find the mentioned two rules of interest on its own. There was an agreement to add this to the page for threefold repetition and fifty-move rule. As such, I adapted the articles where the threefold repetition and fifty-move rule are mentioned, as I have argued. This is something I like to do, for I find it useful and something I can do. And I checked for chess-related articles containing threefold repetition and fifty-move rule, for I find it necessary, as argued, that the fivefold repetition rule and seventy-five-move rule are mentioned along as mentioned. What is the problem with that? I have argued for it and find it necessary. If somebody does not like it, he or she can react accordingly on the edit. To none of these edits, there was a reaction, so I assume it's ok. The FEN page, by the way, I came across for personal interest regarding FEN.
However, the way you address these changes, I find disrespectful. You can speak this out directly, if you don't like, then I can adequately respond. The statement for example "You're vastly overstating the importance of these obscure rules with little practical importance." is just your point of view, that is fine, but you are elevating it to the general point of view. For what reason you specify these rules as "obscure"? For what reason you conclude "little practical importance"? This is rather an argument by intimidation than by argument on the matter. For if your statement as a general statement is correct, then one would have to say that FIDE added "obscure" rules, which I do not assume.
Also the comment "They should be mentioned where they need to be mentioned, but not shoehorned into every article on chess that you can" I find disrespectful. Yes, I try to work in the two rules where I find it appropriate, and for the mentioned arguing, I find it appropriate almost everywhere, where the other two rules are mentioned. Stating "shoehorned into every article on chess" suggests that this is done without any reflection. For that, please provide the list of articles, where this was "shoehorned" and does not deserve the mentioning? You are underlying a general negative point of view to such edits, which I find destructive in the way mentioned. The FEN article is the first article where one can argue at all, per my point of view. For the outcome of the argument, I am not sure. But to produce such statements as mentioned on this occasion, I find a general discredit of my work done. You can criticize or even revert every single edit, that is your right, but not without argument. And that should be done appropriately, and in a way, I can properly respond, not "just" by the side, when I add half a sentence to the FEN article.
Besides to mention, during this argument, timely other important things have been overlooked. When I looked at the FEN page, someone has just introduced a grave error on the page, changing move c5 to c6 in the example, so invalidating the FEN. I could not expect such a change, so unaware of it, seeing the incorrect FEN, I corrected the FEN. Nobody became aware of the error introduced by the author, nor by the correction to the FEN by me, which in fact was not necessary, as the problem was before. The attention you put on the half-sentence for the seventy-five move rule, I would have preferred to have for the mentioned introduced error. Dlbbld ( talk) 12:01, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
Was this really what you had in mind when you suggested sections for the fivefold and seventy five move rules? Because I think it looks ridiculous, divorcing the fivefold repetition rule entirely from the threefold rule like this, and even putting the section after a section on repetition rules in other board games. (I don't think that section should really be in the article but that's a different issue). This is getting very tiring. MaxBrowne2 ( talk) 07:24, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
You reverted my change on chess saying that it was better before. It's not about whether you think it looks better, it's about the grammatocal correctness. I will undo your revert if you don't object. Sincerely, CompassOwl (talk to me!) 01:12, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

I agree with the rest of your reverts; however, I still am strong on keeping one. In the Stalemate section of the King article, there is a hyperlink that lasts five words ( Stalemate).

Hi Quale. A while back, you posted User talk:Marchjuly/Archives/2020/May#John Paul Gomez on my user talk page about an article I created about John Paul Gomez. Recently, I've been getting lots of notifications about that article being added as a link to new articles about other Filipino chess players being created or expanded upon by an editor named Obetpaguia. Most of the articles appear OK (at least they do to me), but there's some odd formatting and using of bullet lists/table as well some puffery and WP:NOTEVERYTHING type of detail. I've tried to clean up a few things myself, but perhaps they would benefit from a review by someone more versed in chess player biographies such as yourself or some other members of WP:CHESS. In addition, this editor seems to have recently been focusing on chess related content and seems to know a lot about the subject; so, perhaps they might be a good person to try and get involved in WP:CHESS. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 12:10, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

I actually did some work on Bogo's article today. I entertained some thoughts on improving it even further (after all, I like playing
his opening) – but I don't have much experience writing biographies on WP or the right kinds of sources, and I feel like his would definitely not be an easy one to write correctly (Edward Winter asks on his site Has any chess writer ever published a rigorous, extensive study of Bogoljubow’s conduct during the Third Reich?
, and if there hasn't, then the end result might well be a gloriously controversial and quite possibly mistaken
WP:SYNTH).

Hi, Quale, I've noticed you reverted my edit to the above page regarding Garry Kasparov's "country" column. I added Croatia, as he's been a Croatian citizen since 2014, and he is still playing competitive chess (more info here: Garry Kasparov, subsection: "Return from Chess Retirement"). In your reversal, you wrote: "no, he's not", but this seems to contradict the information on the above entry on Kasparov. Can you please elaborate on why the addition of Croatia to the list of his countries seems incorrect/inaccurate to you? Cheers. PeterRet ( talk) 22:32, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
Country: Russia (1992–2005), Croatia (after 2016).
The gap in the timeline between 2005 and 2016 means this can't be understood as his country of citizenship (I don't think his Russian citizenship has ever been revoked, plus he's been a Croatian citizen since 2014), and it should therefore be construed as the country he has represented in a given time period. There's also this article [ [6]], which seems to claim that he in fact did represent both Russia and Croatia in at least one tournament back in 2017. PeterRet ( talk) 20:28, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi, Quale. Hope you are well. As you know, I do very little work on Wikipedia these days. I happened to look at the article on Francisco Lupi yesterday. I noticed that it claimed that he finished second at London-B (1946). He actually finished dead last. https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chess.pl?tid=81950 I wondered who had committed this fraud on Wikipedia, and accordingly looked at the edit history. To my shock, it seems to indicate that Krakatoa made this edit! The offending edit was made on April 5, 2021. I am therefore afraid that my account was compromised. Any edits made by "Krakatoa" from at least April 5, 2021 to March 5, 2023 (and also edits from an unknown period of time before that) should be regarded as suspect.
I have now corrected the article. It has other lightly-sourced and unsourced claims about Lupi. The account of him narrowly losing a match to Alekhine (+1 =1 -2) is correct. That is essentially the only thing he is remembered for. I have also changed my password, to something that should be very hard to hack. I thought I should let you know this.

The statement for example "You're vastly overstating the importance of these obscure rules with little practical importance." is just your point of view, that is fine, but you are elevating it to the general point of view. For what reason you specify these rules as "obscure"? For what reason you conclude "little practical importance"? This is rather an argument by intimidation than by argument on the matter. For if your statement as a general statement is correct, then one would have to say that FIDE added "obscure" rules, which I do not assume.
Also the comment "They should be mentioned where they need to be mentioned, but not shoehorned into every article on chess that you can" I find disrespectful. Yes, I try to work in the two rules where I find it appropriate, and for the mentioned arguing, I find it appropriate almost everywhere, where the other two rules are mentioned. Stating "shoehorned into every article on chess" suggests that this is done without any reflection. For that, please provide the list of articles, where this was "shoehorned" and does not deserve the mentioning? You are underlying a general negative point of view to such edits, which I find destructive in the way mentioned. The FEN article is the first article where one can argue at all, per my point of view. For the outcome of the argument, I am not sure. But to produce such statements as mentioned on this occasion, I find a general discredit of my work done. You can criticize or even revert every single edit, that is your right, but not without argument. And that should be done appropriately, and in a way, I can properly respond, not "just" by the side, when I add half a sentence to the FEN article.
Besides to mention, during this argument, timely other important things have been overlooked. When I looked at the FEN page, someone has just introduced a grave error on the page, changing move c5 to c6 in the example, so invalidating the FEN. I could not expect such a change, so unaware of it, seeing the incorrect FEN, I corrected the FEN. Nobody became aware of the error introduced by the author, nor by the correction to the FEN by me, which in fact was not necessary, as the problem was before. The attention you put on the half-sentence for the seventy-five move rule, I would have preferred to have for the mentioned introduced error. Dlbbld ( talk) 12:01, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
Was this really what you had in mind when you suggested sections for the fivefold and seventy five move rules? Because I think it looks ridiculous, divorcing the fivefold repetition rule entirely from the threefold rule like this, and even putting the section after a section on repetition rules in other board games. (I don't think that section should really be in the article but that's a different issue). This is getting very tiring. MaxBrowne2 ( talk) 07:24, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
You reverted my change on chess saying that it was better before. It's not about whether you think it looks better, it's about the grammatocal correctness. I will undo your revert if you don't object. Sincerely, CompassOwl (talk to me!) 01:12, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
Okay, I admit the second comma was unecessary. But my first change was removing of an unecessaey comma in a compound sentence. I still think I'm correct on that one. CompassOwl (talk to me!) 11:16, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

I agree with the rest of your reverts; however, I still am strong on keeping one. In the Stalemate section of the King article, there is a hyperlink that lasts five words ( Stalemate). This differs from how this is handled in a previous part of the article ([[| Placement and Movement]]); where instead of a seven-word hyperlink, there is in parentheses: see opposition. I am new to Wikipedia, is there any reason the five-word hyperlink should be kept? Alshfik ( talk) 17:36, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi Quale. A while back, you posted User talk:Marchjuly/Archives/2020/May#John Paul Gomez on my user talk page about an article I created about John Paul Gomez. Recently, I've been getting lots of notifications about that article being added as a link to new articles about other Filipino chess players being created or expanded upon by an editor named Obetpaguia. Most of the articles appear OK (at least they do to me), but there's some odd formatting and using of bullet lists/table as well some puffery and WP:NOTEVERYTHING type of detail. I've tried to clean up a few things myself, but perhaps they would benefit from a review by someone more versed in chess player biographies such as yourself or some other members of WP:CHESS. In addition, this editor seems to have recently been focusing on chess related content and seems to know a lot about the subject; so, perhaps they might be a good person to try and get involved in WP:CHESS. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 12:10, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi Quale, I have been crawling through the International Masters awarded up to the year 1989. I have almost completed the corrections and additions of the title holders and title years, but a few title years I am still missing, and I would kindly ask you to look them up in Di Felices 'Chess International Titleholders'. Here is a table with some remarks where you can fill the years:
Player | IM year | Di Felice | |
---|---|---|---|
Moubarak Rian/Ryan | 1985 | Rian, Kacem, aka Rian, Mohamed Moubarak (MAR) b. 1959 | |
K. Ryan | maybe identical to Moubarak Rian? | bingo, probably Kacem Rian | |
A. Saed/Syed/Saeed | should be around 1983; might also be written "Saeed Abdul Razak" or "Saeed Abdulrazak" | couldn't find a good match for this | |
Andras Meszaros | 1988 | Mészáros, András (HUN) b. 26 Aug 1956 Budapest, FM 1983, IM 1988 | |
G. Perkhov | only source is ru:Международный_мастер (Г. Перхов in 1989), found nothing else online | can't find anything on this one | |
Stojan Ivanov | only source is ru:Международный_мастер (Стоян Иванов (Болгария) in 1988), found no IM with this name online | 1988 | Ivanov, Stoian (BUL) b. 9 Mar 1948, IM 1988 |

Hello
I notice you’ve removed all the bolding from the article; can I ask why? It seemed logical to bold the main variations (and most of them were targets of redirects anyway). I did a couple more for consistency; why take them all out? Regards,

PPS: Also, (I'm curious) when did the format of the section headings change? Previously they read Move, then Title (if any); viz.4.Ng5, ‘4...d5: Main line’, etc. now, with a lot of/some them not having a title, it appears disjointed.

I was interested to notice ( above) that you have been changing Icelandic names using the thorn to a simple Th, per the Wikipedia:WikiProject Iceland/Style advice ( and also that you noticed that I had noticed; Thanks!) I didn't know it said that: I'd assumed, as they were in general use, that it was deemed OK. I confess it irritates me a bit when editors here refuse to write in English (simple errors I can live with, but wilful disregard, and the stroppy defence of it, get up my nose) so I was interested that there was such a guideline. Do you know of anything covering other non-English letters, like the eszett, or the dyet, or much of the Vietnamese alphabet? Moonraker12 ( talk) 17:37, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

worldchampion
is for players who have held the
World Chess Championship, not one of the many age-restricted titles. Players who win the age-restricted titles have the details of their victories recorded in the article body. If you think the worldchampion
parameter should be used in a different way, feel free to suggest this at the

I actually did some work on Bogo's article today. I entertained some thoughts on improving it even further (after all, I like playing
his opening) – but I don't have much experience writing biographies on WP or the right kinds of sources, and I feel like his would definitely not be an easy one to write correctly (Edward Winter asks on his site Has any chess writer ever published a rigorous, extensive study of Bogoljubow’s conduct during the Third Reich?
, and if there hasn't, then the end result might well be a gloriously controversial and quite possibly mistaken
WP:SYNTH).
That said, our Bogo-Indian article is really tiny and has a ton of room for improvement, so I might try that if time permits. (But emphasis on the "might".) Double sharp ( talk) 13:22, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Quale, I've noticed you reverted my edit to the above page regarding Garry Kasparov's "country" column. I added Croatia, as he's been a Croatian citizen since 2014, and he is still playing competitive chess (more info here: Garry Kasparov, subsection: "Return from Chess Retirement"). In your reversal, you wrote: "no, he's not", but this seems to contradict the information on the above entry on Kasparov. Can you please elaborate on why the addition of Croatia to the list of his countries seems incorrect/inaccurate to you? Cheers. PeterRet ( talk) 22:32, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
Country: Russia (1992–2005), Croatia (after 2016).
The gap in the timeline between 2005 and 2016 means this can't be understood as his country of citizenship (I don't think his Russian citizenship has ever been revoked, plus he's been a Croatian citizen since 2014), and it should therefore be construed as the country he has represented in a given time period. There's also this article [ [6]], which seems to claim that he in fact did represent both Russia and Croatia in at least one tournament back in 2017. PeterRet ( talk) 20:28, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi, Quale. Hope you are well. As you know, I do very little work on Wikipedia these days. I happened to look at the article on Francisco Lupi yesterday. I noticed that it claimed that he finished second at London-B (1946). He actually finished dead last. https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chess.pl?tid=81950 I wondered who had committed this fraud on Wikipedia, and accordingly looked at the edit history. To my shock, it seems to indicate that Krakatoa made this edit! The offending edit was made on April 5, 2021. I am therefore afraid that my account was compromised. Any edits made by "Krakatoa" from at least April 5, 2021 to March 5, 2023 (and also edits from an unknown period of time before that) should be regarded as suspect.
I have now corrected the article. It has other lightly-sourced and unsourced claims about Lupi. The account of him narrowly losing a match to Alekhine (+1 =1 -2) is correct. That is essentially the only thing he is remembered for. I have also changed my password, to something that should be very hard to hack. I thought I should let you know this. Best regards, Krakatoa ( talk) 01:42, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
