a uid tag for user identifications
gid for game ids
tid for tournament ids
cid for clan ids
threadid for, you guessed it, thread ids.

and faq for a 'frequently asked questions' link. it doesn't matter what you put in between faq tags, the only link-text shown is 'FAQ'.

Actually you can link to specific questions (or so I have been told), but it won't work in Firefox. For example, FAQ should link directly to the part in the FAQ about those codes you were talking about (you forgot ccid and clid) if you use IE.

Edit: Tried it in IE, it works.

maxthon is excellent, (I think it's better than firefox), and it's derived from IE. many people use it.

Cool! Still works in IE as well. So all that would need to be done to make it more compatible is to add a "#" in all the FAQ links. Did you tell Russ?

Another cheater gone.

Here is an early game from Mirke, back when he was missing mate in one against players with ratings barely over 1000: Game 2794948.

Then suddenly he worked out how to play and turns out games like this little beauty: Game 3308474.

As my friend DragonFire always tells me when I have have yet another rant about engin ...[text shortened]... and can blunder, but the way Mirke was improving he would have been World Champion by Christmas!
i agree. from the first game to the second it´s really too far in tactic and strength of moves. the first game he lost by about 8 or 10 moves with one of the simpliest moves. although i´m not a good player as well, i recognize that this improvment is hardly legal. maybe he contacted someone who is a better player and got some advise???
but if he did not: CHEATER ;-)

sorry to be stupid, but I can't see why white retired. Why not Pxg5? I know this doesn't leave whites position pretty, but I can't see why it's lost, and white is materially up.

I know there is a reason, but it's a 2000 player reason and I'm not one.
