Ruzz? Is he the big bozz of RHP?

Yez.

They tried this out in the 1980's.

Nigel Short was changed to Hort, For some reason everyone thought it was a Czech player and gave him the nickname Vlastimil. "Hort" even got a separate grade and starting wearing a funny false moustache to keep the joke going. He eventually went completely mad and started singing at post match conferences. At this point the S was returned to the game for health and safety reasons.

Here is a game Short played against himself, using the technology of the day to make it look like a real game.

It's no big deal, but why change something to be incorrect?

My guess is that when it said "1 games waiting", the PHP code was then changed from:

$nogamesmessage = $nogameswaiting . ' games waiting';

to:

$nogamesmessage = $nogameswaiting . ' game';

if ($nogameswaiting > 1) {
$nogamesmessage = $nogamesmessage . 's';
}

$nogamesmessage = $nogamesmessage . ' waiting';

The if line should be:

if ($nogameswaiting != 1) {

I will provide Russ my bank details for my consultancy fee.

EDIT: In other words, it was "fixed" for one game waiting, but was broken for the zero games.

Despite greenpawn34('z) amusing interjections...

Maybe I should make it better value then. 😉

$s = '';

if ($nogameswaiting != 1) {
$s = 's';
}

$nogamesmessage = '$nogameswaiting game$s waiting';

Hmm...just noticed the last couple of days, top right hand corner of the screen, if you don't have any games waiting, it now reads:

"0 game waiting"

It should say "0 games waiting" with an 's' - I'm sure it used to say this, has it changed? Why??

It seems that 1 game or 0 game should be the singular "game" without the "s".

lausey was correct I think

I found this in the code:

document.write('<a class="loggedInInfo" href="/core/gameserve.php">' + nGamesWaiting + ' game' + (nGamesWaiting>1?'s':''😉 + ' waiting</a><a href="#" onclick="XPopGamesUrgent( event );return false;">

I bet it used to be:

document.write('<a class="loggedInInfo" href="/core/gameserve.php">' + nGamesWaiting + ' games waiting</a><a href="#" onclick="XPopGamesUrgent( event );return false;">

changing it to this might do the trick

document.write('<a class="loggedInInfo" href="/core/gameserve.php">' + nGamesWaiting + ' game' + (nGamesWaiting>1?'s':''😉 + (nGamesWaiting<1?'s':''😉 + ' waiting</a><a href="#" onclick="XPopGamesUrgent( event );return false;">

DISCLAIMER: I know nothing about programming, I just know how to use a search button. So my solution is probably wrong, I'm just a little interested in these bug-hunting thingies.

The thread title should say, "A Change for the Worst," So it's a wash.

You mean it'z a wazh, right?

Hi

I have borrowed an 's' from 'Letters_Are_Us.com it is a small 's'
I am still haggling for a capital 'S'.

The bad news is...(well bad for you, good for me) I have
sold the square c6 to another site. so if any of you are wondering
why you cannot put a piece or pawn on c6. Now you know why.

example


White mates in one with 1.Qa7 mate. The Black King cannot go to c6
because it's not there anymore.
(Old GP will be happy, no more Caro Kann. 🙂 )

Yours Russ
