To prevent a) why not just republish your own work here. You are both a member of Ozchess and a member of MCC. A lot of people here do not read chesschat, but may like to read your work.
In relation to b) It ought to be remembered that Chesschat members are banned from linking to Ozchess. Linking to the original article would make sense, but unfortunately, its not a level playing field between the two sites. So whilst it may be undesirable for Ozchess members to cut n paste interesting posts on Chesschat, it is certainly understandable why such practices occur. Lets face it some people are not even allowed to link to ANY Ozchess article on Chesschat or, quote a banned user.
cheers,
Hi David, this wasn't my interview with Grant, it was published in the Closed Grandmanster's blog as AO points out in the post following yours.
My responsibility to the CLub (MCC that is) as it was spelled out by the President Grant Szuveges was until recently that my responsibility would be to post his press releases etc in the Chess Chat whilst yours would be to post this material here! I say "very recently" because I am about now to return to work after a very lenghty period of leave.
The issue here is not cutting and pasting material but acknowledging sources.
Not doing so, would inadvertently create confusion as it happened in your and in my case! Not knowing that Ariel had published an interview with Grant, I thought at the beginning that it was my interview that was published here, and so was the person who actually e-mailed me to let me know!
Under no circumstances was there a spite thing, aiming at creating further frinction between the Fora!
Cheers!
