Talk:Belarusian Chess Championship

Female champions

The complete list can be found at [1] (I think!) Is someone able to translate it? I looked on the website but couldn't find a list of male champions. Voorlandt (talk) 23:00, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok I have translated this list myself, the best I could do without spending too much time learning to read Cyrillic. For most winners, I found the relevant person (first name and surname in English), but for others I couldn't find any information online. Could someone please see if any of the missing first names are mentioned in Gaige's personalia? Do rememember that the transliterions are done by me, and so are most likely to contain inaccuracies (y versus j ; ts versus c etc..). On another note, this page says 8-time Belarusian champion Galina Archakova, so there is an inconsistency with our list. Anyone has other sources? Voorlandt (talk) 19:42, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I checked Gaige, but struck out. It would be good if someone else double checked in case I missed something, especially considering difficulties in transliteration. Quale (talk) 04:52, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for checking! Brittle heaven: I changed Illaha Kadimova back to I. Kadimova as she was 15 at that time and from Azerbaijan and Anna Sharevich claims to be the youngest winner at the age of 16 [2], surpassing the record of Elmira Khorovets, who won the title in 1981. Maybe she is wrong in the interview, but I couldn't find any evidence Illaha played in Belarus. Until then (or unless you have other info), it is perhaps safer to leave out the first name of her.Voorlandt (talk) 19:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, of course, my entry seems very suspicious in the light of your discoveries. I realised she was Azerbaijani, but many of the asian players enter each others' championships in an 'Open' capacity, so I assumed that was the case here. This would make it possible for Sharevich to be the youngest Belarus champ as Kadimova wouldn't qualify for the title. I didn't realise she was only 15 though. How very odd that there is another I. Kadimova who isn't on FIDE's register and hasn't ever played for the national team despite being the national champion? I shall try to keep looking for this one.

Sorry about that, it all makes perfect sense to me now. I have put her first name back. Voorlandt (talk) 07:37, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

To whom it may concern. Pls correct the following: "G. Neviadomskaya" = "Galina Neviadomskaya", "Nekrasova" = "Tamara Nekrasova", "L. Chuvashova" = "Larisa Chuvashova", "G. Ozhigina" = "Galina Ozhigina", "O. Lomakina" = "Olga Lomakina". As for Ilaha Kadymova (born Nov-05-1975), she was only 14 during the Championship-1990. Of course she is from Azerbaijan but she studied in Belarus for several years. From Minsk with love - Wolf (rubinczyk[at]yahoo.com) 93.85.154.216 (talk) 09:33, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

BTW, Lychkovskaya was not "Elena", but Evgenia. Wolf (rubinczyk[at]yahoo.com) 86.57.195.142 (talk) 07:09, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Male Champions

Slightly unsure about the forename of 1997 Kochetkov, as there are a few to choose from, but I believe it is German if I have remembered the Russian alphabet correctly - that is, a symbol resembling a right-handed gallows = letter G, yes? Brittle heaven (talk) 00:31, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Waw great discovery. I swear, just a few days ago, the site didn't had the men's winners list. Anyhow I am thrilled we now have the complete winners list! Thanks a lot for translating it. Voorlandt (talk) 07:42, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I see now that for some years we have multiple winners, whereas the federation site only has one. Does anyone object if I remove those multiple winners? (eg 1973) Voorlandt (talk) 07:51, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, sorry, I should have checked the rest of the list; there are also some years when the Federation site has double winners and we currently have one. I'm slightly concerned about the No contest entry for 1992. Not really possible to check, but this may be a 'typo at source' and the second winner for 1991 maybe should have been 1992?

1970

RuBase has the Belarus winner of 1970 as Kapengut, see here. His article at en.wikipedia (Albert Kapengut) says "joined" and the list has Victor Zheliandinov as winner... --Gereon K. (talk) 19:45, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
