I don't mind the chessmaster threads, as I said during moderator elections. But I don't like "world cup underway". A person can't hold a "world cup" event. So the subject matter is fine. I would just like to see more "truth in subject lines". IE "world championship delayed as fischer is in two groups" is way over the top. IMHO. > > > >>You can't hold a "world cup" event.
