Talk:World Chess Championship 2008

message: Would it be appropriate to put it at the top of the "games" section of the article?  It was deleted by someone who wrote that the two boxes are too close together.  I think an alternative maybe to put the box after game 6? or after games 4 and 8 (to show the score up to that point).  I don't know, but I really miss that helpful box.

thread_title:  I really liked that white/black vertical table 

message: Game 1 has a link to a website where the full game can be seen...so can someone do this for Games 2 and 3 and all the others, the same website has these games as well (I'd do it myself but I don't know how)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.124.177.101 (talk) 20:39, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Sentriclecub & Ballard: Please relocate your ex-lovers catfight & subsequent make-up pillow talk elsewhere, it's gross. This article's discussion shouild revolve around the Anand-Kramnik chess match taking place in Germany. There are private chat rooms and forums where you "fellows" would be better situated.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.57.96.1 (talk) 21:08, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: 216.57.96.1, your insinuations are unfounded and a violation of WP:CIVIL - possibly "gross" enough to get you blocked if you continue in the same style. -- Philcha (talk) 21:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've moved the apology to the Talk:World Chess Championship 2008/Archive 1, because it relates to a discussion there. Peter Ballard (talk) 23:50, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

message: In game 10, is 27.a5+- a typo? + means check, but what is +-? Art LaPella (talk) 17:42, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: See punctuation (chess).  It may need to be explained in the text.  I would guess most readers of this page (and even those who know algebraic) won't be familiar with this notation. 165.189.91.148 (talk) 18:18, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought we were not going to annotate the games, at least not in the main move text. Am I wrong? (The annotations were added three days ago by an IP.) -- Jao (talk) 18:57, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point.  I think removing it would be fine. 165.189.91.148 (talk) 19:03, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I boldly did so, then. -- Jao (talk) 19:10, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  27.a5+-  

message: Now the event is over, it's time to raise (again) something which has annoyed me for a long time: we should not have game scores in the articles. By all means have (cited) comments and diagrams illustrating key turning points, but simply dumping the game scores in the article seems to me to be in clear breach of Wikipedia:Do not include copies of primary sources. IFurthermore, they add little nothing to the article - is any computer user going to pull out a chess board and play through the moves? It simply pads out the article for very little gain. Far better to link to a site such as Chessgames.com or Chessbase which allows users to play through the moves. 
(Or even better, integrate a free Javascript viewer so users can play through the games. I've looked into it but it seems like a lot of work. So until then, a link to an external site is best.) Peter Ballard (talk) 00:50, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: If you don't mind me asking: How did you play through it? (With a physical chessboard, a PGN viewer, Or something else)? And why did you do that rather than click on a link which allowed you to play through the game in a Java or Javascript viewer? Peter Ballard (talk) 03:05, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
