Thanks Hubert
You and I are on the same wavelength and I sincerely thank you for that.
I try and stay out of the forums for reasons you know why very well.
There is an old saying and it goes like this: "I would rather speak out loud in a cave to myself,
rather than try and communicate with some other(s),for at least I would get an intelligent echo back"!!

Take care Hubert and hello again Tim!!

Best,
Joe

Playing Black
Mark plays black because he is scaling ten slow ladder, which by default challengers take black.

As for hiding pics, yeah—the request is odd. If implemented I can only think of one person who might use it. The bandwidth argument is the most robust, but the pic occupies maybe 1K, then is saved and summoned from cache. The two or three packets required for restoring the cache are minimal, and the pic helps cue who one’s opponent is far quicker than reading the name.

The reason it won’t be implemented is because there are far more important and useful features GK is neglecting to implement.

As for the icon and photo, this was disabled back when Henny Bogan was abusing the feature. If GK subscribed to a photo analyzing service separating the icon might double the price. I agree I would live to have that feature back as I want to change both my icon and my photo, I have made better looking chess sets and would do a better backdrop for the telescope mirror mold and components—one that included my beautiful face opponents could gaze longingly upon as I defeat them.

So Henny Bogan is why we can't have separate icon and photo!? I thought there had to be a reason. There's always someone that has to ruin it for everyone else.

Resol
Do make some effort to stay on topic.

Plus, players who win as black tend to be stronger than players who win as white. I’m unsure why the ladder challenge defaults to black, but don’t view this as a relevant complaint. Half the games someone takes white.

Resol never keeps on the topic,as you see above and in other threads.There is a word for those types and I need not spell it out.He loves to input negatively about me in more subtle ways which is a laugh,since he knows nothing about me at all.

Thanks Павел Натанович!!

Best,
Joe
