When I click on this players name or profile; http://www.redhotpawn.com/chess-player/anom-asil \ I get this message: "Unknown Player
"Sorry, this player is not known at Red Hot Pawn. If you linked to this page, please hit the back button on your browser. Alternatively, click here to visit the home page."
Does this change have anything to do with this? Can you explain why I get this message when I click on this players name to look at their stats? Thanks for your time Russ.
God Bless,

This is an issue with some of the names created prior to the "hyphen" being a prohibited character for user accounts.
Only a two active users are impacted, and will have their account name updated to reflect this (hyphens will become spaces).
If you are one of these two account owners, and you feel strongly about the removed hyphen, you can send feedback to discuss a new account name.

The hyphen has been removed from their name, but rather ironically, you need to reinsert it when making a forum link. (Hyphens replace spaces)
