FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Because my forum was used rather seldom, I have stopped it and have replaced it with this FAQ page.

I receive many requests to Swiss manager and Chess-Results.com. Here I will publish questions of general interest.

Chess-Results.com FAQ

18 What to do when tournaments overwrite each other on chess-results.com?

19 What to do, if the advertising is covered up the lists in the tournament archiv?

I would also like to offer chess-results.com without (annoying) advertising, but the operation is relatively expensive and advertising the only revenue source from chess-results.com.

In some lists (usually the cross table for many rounds), it may be that the advertising covers the data.
