Hi Ken Craft:

Confusion - I'm trying to reach Ken Einarsson.

But thanks for responding - was ambiguous.

Bob

Hi Ken Einarsson:

Do I have your current e-mail: ken659@mts.net ?

If so, you have mail from me.

Thanks.

Bob

Hi Ken:

Two reasons:

1. There is greater readership at the Chess Canada Webzine, so I'd rather have it put back into the webzine;

2. It is a sensitive issue with the Scarborough CC executive...

Hi Ken:

I agree with you. And that was a satisfactory solution to both myself and the Scarborough CC President - that both article and response be published.

Maybe you might provide your...

Hi Ken:

You won't be hearing from the President.

It is the executive desire that the matter now be handled " in club " at the SCC AGM in September. Could be a lively meeting with motions on " ...

Hi Ken:

What happened was that the President of the Scarborough CC wrote a very short response to my article on " Scarborough CC 2008-9 Club Championship: Use of Score Sheets " , that the CFC had...

Due to some controversy raised about my article, Vincent Chow, the editor of the Chess Canada Webzine, has decided to pull my article.

For those wishing to read it, please e-mail me (...

Hi Bob:

I even gave you credit for the idea in one of my e-mails on this to the executive !!

Bob

For a full review of these issues, see my lengthy article on the Scarborough CC 2008-9 Club Championship in the Chess Canada Webzine, under " General Interest ".

Here is the latest update on Scarborough CC policy on handing in scoresheets and entry of games submitted into the club database, including the special policy for the club championship this year:
...

Hi Chris:

I did not mean " rightly " in that he could prevent the opponent from publicizing the game. He cannot do that.

The problem is our policy that championship games being handed in is "...

Hi Chris:

You are right. We have advised the players involved that these are internal club rules.

The player owns his game score ( though maybe he can't copyright it ). And though the club...

Hi Peter:

It is a rather knotty ( naughty?? ) little problem - that goes to some very fundamental individual vs collective rights issues, as Roger correctly points out. Generally speaking the...

Hi Wilf:

Thanks for the references - I'll read them.

As usual, Scarborough CC is on the cutting edge of chess issues !

Bob

Hi Peter:

Thanks for your kind compliments to the club, and newsletter.

And I will research your points further - quite thoughtful and thought-provoking.

Lastly, the database is totally...

Three issues have surfaced at Scarborough CC around:

1. the handing in of game score sheets;
2. the inclusion of games handed in in the club games database;
3. the publication of some database...

Hi Ken:

You are right. Legally, the organizers of a tournament “ own “ the score sheets:

CFC Handbook:

Article 8,
" 8.3 The score sheets are the property...

Hi Peter:

Thanks for your continuing input.

The executive are continuing to wrestle with this one which pits the individual member's right to keep his game private, vs the opponent's right to...

Hi Peter & Ken:

We are not trying to keep our " monumental " games secret - and for your information, at a club level, having 6 masters, 3 experts and 1 A player in a round robin is very strong,...

Update:

For our SCC club championship section, handing in of the carbon score sheets is " voluntary " ( it is a 10-player round robin of 6 masters, 3 experts and 1 A Class player ). We collect...

Hi Ken:

If all players in Manitoba " want " to hand in their scoresheets and enjoy the database on the website, then you are likely right to say you are not really " forcing " them to do it. The...

Hi Roger:

Agreed that the club is the place to play chess. That's our Executive Policy now - players are not " forced " to hand in score sheets - it is voluntary to contribute to the club...

Hi Ken:

For our purposes the more relevant question is : What would the MCA do if some members came forward and requested that the handing in of score sheets no longer be " mandatory ", but just "...

Hi Ken:

Thanks - interesting - didn't know you were doing that.

Question: Suppose a member said that he objected to his games being in a database so others could prepare against him. He refused...

Last Thursday, Feb. 26, Scarborough CC started its 2008-9 club championship. The club championship is in 3 sections this year.
The Championship Section is a 10-player round robin comprised of the...
