knightnothorse ... **** One more lament to air tho. I still cannot see how/why we must make due without having the Forum Search function available anymore. It was one thing I really found quite useful and convenient. Especially to see something such as a list of all the threads that a certain player-Nik had posted in. Or a particular Chess topic. And best of all, it would search thru all the pages of that Forum, not just page one. Phew & Boo-hoo. GK, can we please have our Search back~!/?! };-( |

"Are you sure you'd like to permanently withdraw from this mini-tournament? YES / NO If you withdraw from the mini-tournament, you will still have to finish all games that have already been started; all remaining unstarted games will be recorded as lost in the mini-tournament table, but will not affect your rating and stats; this mini-tournament will still be marked as active for you for the next 30 days, during which time it will count against the number of mini-tournaments you can participate in at the same time according to your premium membership." |

April 28, 2009: Mini-tournaments By popular demand, it is now possible to withdraw from mini-tournaments at any time. Please note however, that if you withdraw from a mini-tournament, you will still need to finish all games that have already been started for you (i.e. no active games will be cancelled). All remaining unstarted games will be recorded as lost in the mini-tournament table, but will not affect your rating and stats. Also, the mini-tournament will still be marked as active until you finish the remaining games in progress (if any), or for the next 30 days (whichever occurs last), during which time it will count against the number of mini-tournaments you can participate in at the same time according to your premium membership. |

User name change gameknot.com Fairly interesting. Perhaps I'll change mine. I chose Heinzkat because my first three or so picks of names were already used at that moment. |

Pretty neat, as always! You can now choose from several additional "textured" options to customize the chess board and chess diagrams to your liking — several types of real wood, marble, granite, etc. (via "Settings" in the main menu to the left, or via "Board settings" on every game page). It is now also possible to import PGN notation into "Analyze the board" window (via "Setup board"). |

Google Chrome browser displaying. the "My Games" list is fine, but when I select a game, everything EXCEPT the board is displayed. This just started on or about June 10th. When I use IE7 (or IE8) everything looks normal. I really, really prefer Chrome to IE8...help? |

Shame that all these pretty but superficial changes... Still haven't heard anything back from GK on that since I reported it yonks ago. I suppose it's more fun to play with technology than to provide comprehensive service (or even respond) to your paying customers... which I will no longer be when my current subscription runs out. |

johnb222 I don't really have any suggestions except to say I doubt the fault is with Chrome. try reloading as suggested. I find Chrome to be much faster, and another advantage is that the GK tool bar doesn't work with it. Yes, advantage. The sight of that little flashing light saying 'your move' was enough to repeatedly interrupt serious work. Now I can just look every now and then. |

huberry moved!' interrupted me. Well, I allowed it to interrupt, and like most of us, I have things more important than chess to do. Oh! Did I just say something which upset a few people? |
