The problem with this, priority is setup per class.. So if you take a CMS as an example, each module for the CMS has a plugin class, The problem you have is they can't set priority within that class only per plugin.

To make this workable you really need to be able to set priority on a call basis, There are also times where you might want to ensure a plugin is "final".

Aug 30, 2006

I see your point with the priority, maybe I could add in priority for register() aswell?

I am currently working on adding in listeners so that plugins can notify for errors etc.

Hopefully I will have time to update the proposal soon, just got to finish my exams first <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" />

Not sure what you mean by final?

Thx for the comments

Keith Pope

Aug 30, 2006

The reasoning behind the plugin classes only having priority is that we didn't want to allow plugin developers to choose the priority that their plugin was loaded into the application, we wanted that decision left to the application developer.

I do see your point; I think we should allow priorities within plugins so that the plugin developer can set the priority on their own calls.

Thanks for the comments. As Keith mentioned the listeners will also add a lot of functionality.

Shaun Mitchell

Aug 31, 2006

Your right the plugin developer should not be able to force priority, instead it should be set on load for each hook, This allows the application developer to rearrange priority as they need, For example drupals control panel allows you to change the priority of its input text filters.

Say you have an abuse module that inclues spam and word filtering, The work filtering priority would depend on what your doing, you might want to run it before your bbcode filter or after depending on the setup, where the spam check could be run ay any time.

AS it is now the only way to have fine grained control over order of EACH hook is to have a seperate class for every little hook.

Sep 01, 2006

With the current implementation you can order the way the events are registered as they are fired in the order you register them.

So if you do

Zend_Plugin::register('action', 'add_user', array($this, 'checkUserName'), 1);

Zend_Plugin::register('action', 'add_user', array($this, 'sendEmail'), 1);

it will do

checkUserName then sendEmail

Developers then can implement their own ordering system if they want inside the introspect() method, say if they wanted to load the order from config or db.

This way we can avoid the extra complexity of having 2 priorities.

Hope this makes sense

Thx Keith

Sep 06, 2006

Im still not understanding, In your example the developer of myPlugin defines the priority for his functions.

What if the developer of the application in general says that the internal call to intCheckUserName HAS to be run before myPlugin CheckUserName no matter what priority myPlugin sets?

If you assume hooks will be called across multiple plugins you need to be able to set priority outside of those plugins.

Here is an example of what I want to control, 2 plugins are submitted to my CMS

<ac:macro ac:name="code"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
class plugin1()Unknown macro: { function filterHTML() function spamCheck() }
class plugin2() {
function filterHTML()
function spamCheck()

2 plugins both wanting to perform some sort of spam check and filtering html.. What If I want to run in this order

<ac:macro ac:name="code"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[

From what I am seeing in your code/example there is no way to control this outside of the plugin code itself. For the order to be right in this case Develper of Plugin 1 would have to confer with the Developer of Plugin 2 and then say they do confer, what if developer of the CMS decides they are wrong and wants to override that?

Sep 06, 2006

You are correct in that the above order can not be fired. The plugins are loaded and given a priority. For example:

As the application developer I've loaded all my plugins:

<ac:macro ac:name="code"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
Zend_Plugin::addPluginGroup(array('plugin1', 'plugin2'), array(1, 2)); // I have set the priorites that these plugins will be executed, plugin1 first then plugin2.

Now I've added a hook like "echoComment" (for a blog):

<ac:macro ac:name="code"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
Zend_Plugin::applyFilters('echoComment', $comment); //$comment is the comment text from the DB

The applyFilters method will now loop through the plugin array; key'd and sorted by the plugins priorities. Then the plugins introspect method will load the callbacks and the order that the plugin developer registered the callbacks is the order they are fired.

Zend_Plugin::doAction and Zend_Plugin::applyFilters doesn't navigate around the plugins array and fire callbacks. It basically loops through the plugin array and fires the callback in the order they were loaded.

As the application developer I only have control over loading plugins in a certain order and not the order that their callbacks are fired. Also I can't tell doAction or applyFilters to fire different plugins callbacks in different orders / times.

I hope this helps to explain what we are thinking of right now, we tried to keep every thing as simple as we could.

Sep 09, 2006

At this point then I think its to simple, here is an idea

Adjust register to use class name instead of having to pass a class instance

Now depending on the use you can use if as you have it explained, or the developer can handle the registering himself, this way he can control load order 100%

The other problem with your current method is it now requires loading of every single plugin class ahead of time so it can "register" its hooks into the system.

Sep 19, 2006

Hey Richard,

 I think I understand what you are getting at with the passing of a class instance. Keith and I are looking at it now. We have just added your namespace idea (thank you for that one) into our development code and will update the proposal as soon as we have tested it.

Lastly, you have a good point about having to load all plugins to load their hooks. It would be a good idea to get all the plugins hooks and only load the plugins that are required when a hook is actually fired.

Thanks again.

Oct 07, 2006

Any progress on this <ac:emoticon ac:name="wink" /> I have a project that would find this usefull..

I have my own system worked out but would like to stick to zend modules when I can <ac:emoticon ac:name="wink" />

Oct 09, 2006

Hi Richard,

I am currently moving jobs so I have no time to do much at the moment.

I can send you a copy of our latest svn branch if you want, I was going to make some major changes when I get chance. We were looking at moving to a singleton class (maybe) and removing some of the un-needed bits and some general code cleaning.

Email me if I can help in any way.

Oct 10, 2006

I would be more then happy to take a look, If your thinking of a major overhaul I can also send you some example code that I threw together to see if it gives you any ideas

Oct 10, 2006

Thanks Richard,

 Please send any coded ideas you have to myself or Keith and we would love to take a look. Not sure if Keith has already sent you our current development version but I look forward to hearing your thoughts on what we have so far.

Shaun M

Oct 12, 2006

Hi Richard,

I have emailed you the SVN details for the component, did you get the email?

Nov 08, 2006

Yes I got it, sorry have been busy myself

Nov 08, 2006

I did manage to take a look at this a while back,

Basically if the developer wanted to registered things himself to have full control of the order a few changes need to be made so the developer could call register instead of the plugins having to do it themselves.

In the register portion it requires a reference format in the callback, if it could be adjusted so you can do the following

Zend_Plugin::register('action', 'add_user', array('classname', 'checkUserName'), 1);

Then the developer can manage registering.

Also there is no checking to make sure when a plugin is registered that you can't overrwrite another plugin of the same priority.

Then due to the nature of how things are setup all plugins/filters are loaded regardless of if they are used or not, Since the intent is the class registers itself this is required, however in a developer controlled enviroment where your only passing names and not full objects this could be avoided, and objects would only need to be loaded if called.

Otherwise the overall code looks great <ac:emoticon ac:name="wink" />

Nov 08, 2006

One more note, the way you have it setup the listeners are really just sort of a plugin tree allowing you to "cascade" the calling of plugins, Would it make sense to "track" what listeners have been called and do some sort of checking to prevent a endless loop?

Nov 14, 2006
<ac:macro ac:name="note"><ac:parameter ac:name="title">Proposal not being considered</ac:parameter><ac:rich-text-body>

We have reviewed this proposal. We are not considering it at this time for inclusion in Zend Framework.

An architectural pattern like plugins is a means to a goal, not a goal itself. The problem with a generic component for plugins is the same problem with generic treatment of factories, or interfaces, or any other design pattern. Trying to create a one-size-fits-all approach to architecture is too likely to result in a solution that is inappropriate for any given case.
</ac:rich-text-body></ac:macro>
Nov 15, 2006

Ok I was sort of coming to that conclusion anyway.

However from going through the process I do see the need for a good event dispatcher (ie Zend_Event). Probably a bit similar to the pear event dispatcher. I think a good way to dispatch events would probably negate the need for a plugin system altogether, or a least make it very easy to create a tailored plugin system to the users needs.

I have been thinking about doing this for a while now, hopefully I will get some time to actually start doing some work on it.

Would this be something of interest for the framework?

Thanks for the review

Nov 23, 2006

We would be glad to review such a proposal. But my first thought is that it is another example of a design pattern-like solution, looking for a use case to justify it.

Why would you want an event dispatcher? Are application objects in great need to receive events? What would they do with an event if they received one?

Keep in mind that I don't consider it a valid requirements statement to say we need a component solely because we don't have that component.

I'm not saying that Zend Framework can't provide generic implementations of design patterns (like MVC), or that it can't provide infrastructure components that serve as a carrier for information (like Db). But I caution against creating technology without having a clear, concrete purpose and use case in mind for it.

Zend Framework is trying to solve the most common real world problems that people are having with their web applications, and to provide greater value than other solutions available, by being simpler and easier to use.

Is it so common for web applications to have internal event-driven mechanisms that we need a Zend Framework component to do that? It seems to me that web apps are event-driven, but the events are provided by the client, or by controller redirects.

Jun 14, 2007

I agree with Keith. Having an Event Dispatcher like the PEAR one for Zend Framework would be a really good thing. I can already see good interactions between this component and the existing Zend modules :

- Event Dispatcher + Mail => Mail Notifcation

- Event Dispatcher + Feed => RSS Driven Events

- Event Dispatcher + Date ( and Calendar Proposal) => User's defined scheduled notification

 Of course those combination are use cases and not proposals for the framework.

I'm not sure I agree with either of your two spec's, but I guess thats completely up for debate.
Don't forget about miss.Well, there are other threads that can help here with this, but the short answer is when you combine Dodge+Parry+Block, an ideal % of the combined is 77.4%. Think of it this way. I have 13.4% Dodge. I have 14.0% Parry and I have 50.0% Block rating from my skills plus Mastery ( mastery increases block ). Total is 77.4%.
So at 77.4% i'm still not getting 100% avoidance. BUT, hit shield block for an additional 25% and you've just hit the magic 102.4% number.
Also... I may be completely wrong on this, but the spec I like to use is the following. I dont really like the Thunderstruck talent as I only thunderclap to keep up debuff, so not very often. I don't use shockwave, unless there are adds. I guess its just my play style.
Just one last thing I thought I would mention
I find that instead of berserker rage, I swap between CS and BS depending on the group make up. If we are lacking one or the other, I swap to that minor glyph. Yes, we refresh it pretty often... but there are many times where raid members are out of range when its refreshed and this helps keep it up on everyone.Minor Beserker Rage 5 rage. Might as well
Minor Intimidating Shout Another Oh S**T, when mobs get unruly; fear them.
Minor Demo Shout Good all around way to reduce inbound damage ( and help heals )
Optional Minor Battle or Command Shout - This really only helps the other members of the group. Our main reason for hitting either is for the on demand rage. Is it selfish, yes.

Artist hired by Car and Driver swipes rendering from Jon Sibal? UPDATE
by Damon Lavrinc (RSS feed) on Apr 28th, 2010 at 7:23PM
In the May issue of Car and Driver, the pub peered through the looking glass to see what kind of product enthusiasts can look forward to in the next few years. The feature, entitled "25 Cars Worth Waiting For," combines some astute speculation and a few foregone conclusions with a rendering of each vehicle. However, one particular depiction caught the eye of ace auto artist Jon Sibal. A rendering of the 2011 BMW M5 commissioned by C/D and created by artist Mark Neeper bore a striking resemblance to an image Sibal says he penned this past December. Considering both artists were working... Read More

It's the second fatal accident of its kind in four months. An ATV crash in Allegany County Tuesday night left one person dead and another seriously hurt. YNN's Mark Goshgarian tells us why State Police believe it's an accident that could have possibly been prevented.
INDEPENDENCE, N.Y. -- State Police in Amity say Jocelyn Saunders, 17, of Genesee, Pennsylvania was killed Tuesday night after being thrown from an ATV. Saunders was a passenger on the ATV, driven by Kyle McPherson, 16, of Andover.
Troopers say McPherson was on Heselton-Gully Road in the town of Independence when he lost control, drove through some brush, and down into a ravine.
McPherson was sent to Strong Hospital in Rochester with head, neck and leg injuries. Saunders was pronounced dead at the scene.
"It's a dark unlighted roadway. It's a hill, with a moderate turn to the right, there were some tire marks visible where the ATV went off the roadway," said NYSP Investigator David Forsyth.
Investigators say speed was a factor in the crash, drugs and alcohol were not, and they were not wearing helmets.
"It's a very tragic incident any time of the year, but even closer to the holiday, it's just heart-wrenching to have to inform these family members of a death and a serious injury," said NYSP Captain Eugene Staniszewski.
This is the second fatal ATV accident in Allegany County this year and State Police are using it as a reminder to others to ride responsibly.
"You should always be wearing your helmet and you should stay off the roadway and certainly do not operate these under the influence of alcohol or drugs," said Staniszewski.
"It's important to follow the rules of the road, the vehicle you're operating is properly registered, has all the safety equipment including lighting, and that you just be extra careful," said Forsyth.
Anyone with information about the accident is asked to call State Police at (585) 268-9030.

Visa Code
21.09.2010 / 09:45
Regulation (EC) No 810/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 establishing a Community Code on Visas (Visa Code) took effect on 5 April 2010.
The Visa Code establishes legal framework for the application of the common visa policy as regards short-stay Schengen visas in the countries that are part of the Schengen area. The Visa Code became part of the Czech legislation on its effective date (5 April 2010). It terminated the previous rules on short-stay visas set out in Act No. 326/1999 concerning the residence of aliens in the territory of the Czech Republic as amended.
The operational instructions on the practical application of the Visa Code are set out in the Handbook for the processing of visa applications and the modification of issued visas and its Annexes and the Handbook for the organisation of visa sections and local Schengen cooperation (Handbook 2).
The basic rules of the Schengen visa policy according to the Visa Code:
- Competence to examine and decide on an application (Article 5)
- The rules on consular territorial competence are modified (Article 6)
- Practical modalities for lodging an application (Article 9)
- Personal appearance of applicants (Article 10)
- Collection of biometric data (Article 13)
- Supporting documents (Articles 14 and 15) – documents indicating the purpose of the journey, proof of sufficient means, travel medical insurance
- The general visa fee remains EUR 60; however, there are new exemptions: children from the age of six years and below the age of 12 years pay only EUR 35 or may benefit from a visa fee waiver
- A uniform application form (Article 11)
- The admissibility of an application(Article 19)
- Collection of fingerprints, according to the Regulation on Visa Information System (at the consulates where VIS was introduced)
- Representation arrangements between the Member States as regards the issuing of Schengen visas (Article 8)
- Cooperation with external service providers (Article 43).
The "D" visa (long-termi visa) authorizes the holder to stay in the territory of the Member States for a period not exceeding 90 days in any 180 days period.

EDGEWATER, Md. (AP) -- A 20-year-old man has died after his car crashed into a home in Edgewater.
Anne Arundel County police say Ryan Anderson of Harwood died Saturday night at Maryland Shock Trauma Center.
Police say Anderson was taken to the hospital after his car went through an intersection and into the deck and porch of a home early Saturday morning.
Police say he was not wearing a seat belt. Speed does not appear to be a factor in the crash, and police say they're not sure whether alcohol was involved.

"I will say the 910 is a super comfortable shoe. I really like wearing it for street and trail use. Its my go to when I don't put on my Minimus shoes. And I really like the styling. The dark grey with orange highlight color way looks good. But the shoe has a major issue. After about half a dozen wears, the outer fabric covering the toe box started to tear. This happened on both shoes at the point the flexes or creases when you walk. I couldn't believe how fast these shoes fell apart, especially considering the cost. Of course I had thrown out the box and receipt, so I was stuck with them. Do I still wear them, yeah sure if I'm doing something where I'm not concerned if they get messed up (i.e. cutting the grass, riding my bike on trials after a rain, etc). But seriously I expected a lot more wear out of a pair of shoes that didn't see much if any strenuous use. Also, what I assume is the rock guard in the footbed squeaks or makes grunting sounds a lot. It sometimes feel like and sounds like something sticky is stuck on the bottom of my shoe. Good try NB, but this one needs some serious updating. If the problems were fixed and a water proof/resistant option were available I would seriously consider buying them again."

"The toe box rips and it doesn't drain that well. Other than that they are great. The tread grips well and they are comfortable for runs of 4+ hours."

"I only wear this shoe once a week, when I do my Friday trail run, which is usually about 10-13 miles. I've got about 100 miles on this pair, which replaced a pair of MT810br2 that went over 600 miles. I run on a rail right of way, so about half of their life they are on rail ballast (quite large gravel); protection of the bottom of my feet is the name of this game. In that role they are ok, not quite as good as the old 810, but certainly better than lighter trainers (890 I'm looking at you). Fit is exactly like my other dozen or so pairs of NB shoes ranging from 890, 980, 1400, 1600, 5000 and many others no longer made. Kinda heavy, but hey, they are like wearing a suit of armor on your feet. The sole has excellent traction and the knobs show little wear thus far (at ~100 miles, as mentioned above). I would not use them every day, they are for specialized use as far as I'm concerned. If you only run in one shoe and you're not in the mountains, get some 890s or a more generic trainer."

"This is a very comfortable shoe. Tread is great for walking on slick, wet rocks. But the toe box tore up too fast. I had walked 82 trail miles when I first noticed the tearing on each shoe. Not one to waste shoes, I relegated this pair to just walking around my neighborhood or in city parks."

"After 3 months of light use the material on top of the toe box has completely ripped across. I have seen multiple other reviews from people with the same problem. Otherwise, this is a proper shoe. I have never purchased the same pair of shoes twice, but was considering it until they started to rip. I am definitely sad to get rid of these shoes as I absolutely love the comfort and feel of them."

Kramnik wins Zurich Jubilee rapid
Vladimir Kramnik won the Zurich Jubilee Rapid Tournament on Sunday, finishing on an undefeated 5/7, half a point ahead of Viswanathan Anand. Local hero Werner Hug managed to draw with Khalifman, Topalov, Kramnik, Karpov and Polgar. Pictorial report on the Saturday simuls and the Sunday rapid.
By Christian Rohrer
Thousands of curious spectators in Zurich Main Station and countless Internet users around the world were riveted to jubilee events that marked the 200-year anniversary of the Schachgesellschaft Zürich. No fewer than eleven chess champions participated in the events on 22 and 23 August 2009. Vladimir Kramnik won the champions' rapid tournament ahead of the reigning World Champion Anand. The world's oldest chess club takes great satisfaction in having staged a first-class event, whose principal sponsor was Credit Suisse.
In the champions' simultaneous exhibition on Saturday, 22 August, 2009, 200 amateur chess players battled against eight chess grandmasters: Viswanathan Anand, Anatoly Karpov, Garry Kasparov, Viktor Kortchnoi, Vladimir Kramnik, Boris Spassky, Ruslan Ponomariov and Veselin Topalov showed brilliant skill in their games.
Of the 200 games played, the champions conceded only four wins to their tough challengers; 35 other games ended in a draw. The simultaneous event was expected to run through around 6 pm, but Kasparov und Karpov and their opponents duelled through 9 pm. Even that late -- seven hours after the start -- both champions were still surrounded by many chess enthusiasts. At the beginning of the event thousands of curious onlookers were watching the champions' moves.
At the Champions Rapid on Sunday, 23 August, 2009, Viswanathan Anand, Werner Hug, Anatoly Karpov, Alexander Khalifman, Vladimir Kramnik, Judit Polgar, Ruslan Ponomariov und Veselin Topalov took on one another. After seven rounds and some seven hours, the former World Champion Kramnik pulled ahead of Anand. Topalov and Ponomariov shared the third place.
Local hero Werner Hug of the Schachgesellschaft Zürich (World Junior Chess Champion in 1971 and Switzerland's leading player in the 1970s) showed his skills and tied Karpov and Polgar as seventh. Countless chess enthusiasts followed the games' transmission and live stream pictures on the Internet, while in the packed event venue, the upbeat mood culminated in the final prize ceremony, where the public roared with applause for the champions.
On the heels of the Jubilee-Open 9-15 August, 2009, the festivities this weekend brought the 200-year anniversary of the Schachgesellschaft Zürich to an impressive and first-class finish. According to many spectators and to the champions themselves, the events staged in Zurich Main Station will go down in the annals of chess history.

Right, really great photos! It was too bad that Kasparov didn't take place in rapid games. I know he is retired, but... maybe I shouldn't be so greedy. It was really an impressive line-up they presented. I am particularly happy to see Judit Playing again.

Anyone knows if Kramnik and Topalov shook hands?
- Log in to post comments
@Arne Moll: see the first-hand report by "tankmaster7" at Dailydirt:
"I was there, Topalov and Kramnik did not shake hands. When Topalov resigned he looked up, nodded, said a brief word (maybe "ok") and then they both walked away. "
No surprises here ... .
@CAL Daniel: Have a look at the tournament site:
Ponomariov was the only one with a 25-0 result. They also have two games for each of the players.

Thanks for that, Thomas. How nice, refusing to shake hands at a Jubilee event ;-)

why kasparov didn't play in that event? i think it will be a tough tournament if he is there.. ^_^
- Log in to post comments
Your comment loose any reason because
1. The sentence is about a "best player ever";
2. It refers about the judgement of "almost anybody" (Glad I'm not an almost anybody!);
3. It's true I "don't like" that sentence, but it is not the point. The point is people have opinions, but covering it's opinative nature with presumptions of (almost!) universality it's a most different thing. But yes, it's a somewhat useless game...
4. As much as I tend to agree with you in that Kasparov must be in most people's top 3 list today, it is only a guess. Personaly I consider that putting, say, Morphy, De Labourdonais, Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine, Botvinik, Tahl and others above him is very plausible. (It doesn't mean I' would or I wouldn't do it). Let alone Fischer! (I'm sorry, the old discusion again, but it's true I think so);
5. It's not who-won-against-whom, otherwise (as you rightly pointed) we should praise Kramnik more (which some people plausibly do)! Simple as that.

Only those people who can't count put someone ahead of Kasparov. One only needs to count the victories.

First, the "2 points margin". I wouldn't agree with Fischer on that, but just because there would be no sustainable reason for it to be implemented exactely with him as World Champion. NOT because I think such rule would be "nonsense". It isn't.
Agreeing or not, it makes some sense: The most important title shouldn't change hands by the narrowest margin, among two players who, until then, were showing aproximate chess strengh, and just because the match sudenly becomes over because of one win (of many).
Now, even agreeing, why begining it with Fischer? Not right, indeed. It could be something to implement, but only some years from then. It's a moral demand.
Anyway, Fischer wouldn't allow the match to become not even tied! ;-)
As for KGB's thing, first, I don't believe Fischer couln't be persuated to pospone that "2 points margin" issue, if the rest --- and if the whole negociating process --- was in good faith, which it wasn't.
It is false Karpov (or, at least, it's team and the KGB) were "barely waiting for the World Championship". They realy were eager that it would not take place and get the title anyway, when they discovered it would be a child's game, given Fischer's excentricity AND their FIDE control.
In fact they sabotaged completely every Fischer idea, from the begining, and the KGB files show that it was done precisely BECAUSE it was THE way to the title. With that aim. It's somewhat different, wouldn't you agree?
Who runs? That one who cannot escape the aparences, or those who fabricate those aparences in order to cover they're running? It's a game much older than chess!
I also didn't mean Fischer would beat anyone if he was alive. I meant he could do it IF he continued playing (had the health --- fisical, mental, social --- to do it) after 72. And maybe, had he that health, until today, who knows.
It doesn't have to have "reality" for me to say that, in the sense of "it in fact happened". That's ridiculous, in trying to ridicularize.
Lack of sense of reality was what you showed, when claiming the briliant
"Only those people who can't count put someone ahead of Kasparov"
THAT is the reality I love! The one that makes me LOL.
- Log in to post comments
I'm sure "me" said that as praising Kasparov's chess. It must be an abreviation for "Kasparov is an assasin of chess kings" ;-)

@Castro: Thank You for Your answer, You are probably right that the KGB was making unfair acts to help Karpov to become the World Champ in any means and the KGB was a very powerful ally for Karpov. These games off the board were always present at world championships, we shouldn't forget that. Spassky is a true gentleman, Fischer was ready to "run away" even at their match, he even forfeited a game. A World Champion must have true inner strenth, not only chess powers. Fischer didn't have that, he was lucky in his match with Spassky, when his opponent refused to claim a win and have chosen to fight. Karpov is not Spassky.

"And indeed these two kinds of "reasons" are false, at least in what Fischer's chess is concerned, and I insist: He would improve yet a lot. (What for me means no doubt in winning against everyone, even until today, had his health allowed…)"
Typical Fischer worshiping that has nothing to do with reality.

(sorry for numbering)
1. One thing is certain "games off the board" that --- more or less --- every WC match certainly had, I'm sure. Other is the exact nature of that one in particular. As I told before, the whole process of "negotiations" was disigned to be false, and to fail (at Fischer's expenses, of course). That is documented and was both childishly simple and original in the whole history of chess WC.
2. Fischer was not "ready to run away" against Spasky (nor anyone), at least in the sense you (and lots of others before) imply. He wasn't "afraid" of playing anyone, and he should be champion long before (and I say long after) that.
He simply has indeed some other "inner weaknesses", as you put it, like childishness, paranoia and stuborness (though he could also be a nice person and even able to be talked into some things and do some sacrifices, as he did some times). If he didn't feel some things were "his way", he'd directely consider himself a victim and would get extremely insecure (aka without chess conditions, for instance).
3. Because of those (and maybe other) "inner flaws", you seem not to consider him a worthy World Champion. But I do, and the greatest ever. I mean *chess* (and I mean *my opinion*).
4. In what chess is concerned, of course Fischer was not "lucky" at all. You're right, maybe if Spasky wasn't a decent man, that match could also have failed. But everybody --- including Spasky --- knew Fischer was the best. Also, Spasky indeed refused a win in the overall match by forfeit, sure. But although thinking that FIDE and the russians were not being fair towards him, Fischer returned to play and the point of the second game was to Spassky, because of Fischer's forfeit, of course. There were no "favours" on that. He won the title coming from 0-2 disadvantage (in one game played).
5. You're right in that Karpov is not Spassky. And Kasparov neither. But at his best Spassky was not only a gentleman, but could play at their level. (For me, a step below Fischer, that's where I'm going, of course ;-) )

Combining criteria?
Well, if I disagree one should see something decisive in criteria like (say) percent of won games, combining criteria has to have a lot of that "subjectivity", depending on how do you do it, pondering each criterium.
I think most sensible combinations would bring on top the (somewhat unexpected, for history ignorants): Emmanuel Lasker.
Others would yield Morphy, Capablanca, Karpov, Botvinik, Kasparov... It realy depends on how you weight them.
My choice for best ever is (obviously ;-) ) Fischer, but I know he doesn't stand a chance in most of that criteria (or combinations), mainly because of short career and retiring when he was not only the very undisputed best by miles but also I think (contrary to most people) he would easyly crush Karpov (and Kasparov after, of course). Because --- don't be fooled! --- Fischer would even improve a lot his "unimprovable" chess.
And of course, even in ratings, his Elo record means much more for his time than that of Kasparov's today.
But I repeat, I know that this criteria and best-ever thing has also something of taste and subjectivity, and we have a few plausible candidates. In my opinion, Kasparov is not one of the best placed (and he is not in my 3 favorites), but many people think he is, which is ok for me.

If most people do not think Fischer would have crushed Karpov easily, then the idea of Fischer being "best my miles" is disputed (i.e. not "undisputed"), isn't it? :)
Couldn't resist. I agree about the best-ever issue depending on taste, and naturally, Fischer is one of the sensible candidates (not in my top 3, though).
- Log in to post comments
You have a point in that it means something many people thinking Karpov would "stand a chance", or even that he would win. That is matter of guess, yes, and for me it would be Fischer no doubt. Karpov was also a very strong player, that's for sure but... no Fischer.
Also, in that sense it was a "disputed" issue, another point for you. I should be careful not to fall in that kind of judgments I myself criticize.
Points for me are, for instance, I think that for greater (but same kind of) reasons one should never put Kasparov above him. His dominance was simply greater, in a shorter career though.
Most opinions against Fischer are (understandably) based in a) Things other than chess; b) The wrong idea that he sort of "run away" from playing Karpov.
In fact it was Karpov's team and country that ran, in a subtle manner, as we now have confirmed since the KGB files were disclosed. They studied the issues but deliberatly went to the negotiations choosing Fischer's most sensitive questions for not moving an inch, in order to asure that that negociations would fail.
And indeed these two kinds of "reasons" are false, at least in what Fischer's chess is concerned, and I insist: He would improve yet a lot. (What for me means no doubt in winning against everyone, even until today, had his health allowed...)

I worship noone. In fact, I think Kasparov is an ass and definatelly not my favourite player. But he has the best stats thats why noone can deny that he is the greatest.
- Log in to post comments
P.S.: And I'm not talking how Kasparov would crush anybody if he came back, do I? Because this is just not real. He most likely couldn't do it anymore. Now please read my and your commentaries again and maybe you'll find out who is losing touch with reality.

to me,
I am not an english native person.
But what does mean the expression: "Kasparov is an ass"
- Log in to post comments
The KGB was sabotaging Fischer's requirements, they were making steps to make as much chances for Karpov to win, as they could. But, when a player barely wait for the World Championship and the other widthraws, the witdhrawing player is the one, who runs away.
The World Champion can't dictate the rules of the World Championship, since Alekhine. And You should consider, that Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine and Euwe were reasonable in choosing the rules for the World Championship. There was never a World Championship match in history when the Challenger needed a lead of 2 points to become the world champ, not even in the 1886 - 1937 period. Fischer wanted to change the match regulations to the following:
10 wins finishes the match and 9-9 means a draw. If the score is 9-9, Fischer retains the title. What an unreasonable thing. If Karpov has to win at least at a 10-8 rate, and if Fischer has 9-8 score, the maximum what Karpov can achieve is a draw. This is just nonsense in my book. I accept that the challenger has to beat the World Champ, but not with a 2 points margin.

And when you combine all those criteria you mentioned, who's name comes on top???
- Log in to post comments
@(other than) "me"
Of course not :-) But even if it were the number of victories (in games, in matches, in tournaments, in percentage of won games, in spanning years of wins, in difference upon closest rivals, in percentage of won tournaments, in series of games without losing... and much MUCH more criteria) it would never be Garry's name you'd found!
So much for people who can't count. THOSE use to be Garry's fans.
Sure, in some criteria he has records (like absolute Elo, I think), but that's why it's understandable you and other mistaken people stick with him ;-)

Wonderful event!!!
Kramnik is showing a great performance again!
I guess some of the players involved don´t get along very well:
-Kramnik and Topalov won´t even shake hands.
-Korchnoi and Karpov are old rivals (or even enemies)
-Kramnik and Kasparov don´t seem to get along.

"but for almost anybody: the best player ever"
I wonder why some people just can't say something like "for me..." or "for many...", instead of producing the most subjective and error-inducing kind of sentence! ;-)

@Ceann: CAL Daniel had asked the same question, the link I gave at 9:28am provides the answer. And if you complain, do so in a more polite way!?
@Mauricio Valdes: There is nothing wrong with being rivals, but it seems that Korchnoi and Karpov are no longer enemies. Two things have changed over the last decades;
1) Both of them are no longer part of the world top.
2) As the global cold war is over, so is their private cold war.
They even play on the same team in the Russian team championship these days ... .

@Castro well the only player that ever defeated Kasparov was Kramnik so outside of Kramnik yes Kasparov is the best player in the world. Now if you don't like that statement... consider if people made a top3 best players list... I doubt there would ever be a list that didn't contain Kasparov.

As a Linux (server side) developer, I don't know where and why should I use C++.
When I'm going to performance, the first and last choice is C.
When "performance" isn't the main issue, programming languages like Perl and Python would be good choices.
Almost all of open source applications I know in this area has been written in C, Perl and Python, Bash script, AWK and even PHP, but no one goes to use C++.
I'm not discussing about some other areas like GUI or web application, I'm just talking about Linux and about CLI and daemons.
Is there any satisfiable reason to use C++?

According to Mr. Lambros, the scholarship funds can be used for education in any Orthodox seminary in the United States.
There is no means test, but a candidate must provide:
- A letter stating his intention to petition for ordination upon his graduation;
- A letter of referral from the bishop of his diocese;
- A letter of acceptance to any Orthodox seminary in the United States; and, most importantly,
- An essay written by himself on the subject, "The Exclusivity of the Orthodox Religion."
The recipient will be chosen whose essay best demonstrates his religious integrity and his devotion to Orthodoxy. The scholarship funds may be used for any expenses incurred and necessary to the attendance at the seminary and will be disbursed from Mr. Lambros' office upon presentation of the proper invoices. Applications should be submitted to the following address at least one month before the beginning of the 2009 Fall semester:

As has been the custom every year of his episcopacy, we were blessed to have our father in Christ, His Eminence, Metropolitan PHILIP with us to celebrate the feast of feasts in his cathedral. St. Nicholas Cathedral of Brooklyn, NY, the mother church of the archdiocese, was filled to capacity on what was a beautiful spring evening in New York. Following the resurrection services His Eminence joined the Cathedral dean, Archpriest Thomas Zain and all the faithful in breaking the fast in the church hall and cracking eggs with many of the children (and adults) as they celebrated the feast. Please enjoy the pictures as we celebrate our Lord's resurrection from the dead.

OCMC Opens New Missionary Training Facility
The Completion of the Archbishop Anastasios and Archbishop Demetrios Missionary Training and Administration Building
Alex Goodwin (4/13/2009)
St. Augustine, FL - On April 13, 2009 the staff of the Orthodox Christian Mission Center began working in the Archbishop Anastasios and Archbishop Demetrios Missionary Training and Administration Building. The opening of this facility marks a new era in North American Orthodoxy's mission movement. The building will prove to be a vital resource of the Church as more Orthodox Christians answer their call to share the Faith with people around the world through participation in the ministries of the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC).
This is the first permanent facility of an agency of the Standing Conference of the Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas (SCOBA); it will serve as an international missions headquarters for North America's estimated 1.5 million Orthodox Christians.
Formal dedication ceremonies will be held on May 21, 2009. Both His Beatitude Anastasios, Archbishop of Tirana, Durrës and All Albania, and His Eminence Demetrios, Archbishop and Primate of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and Chairman of SCOBA, together with other hierarchs of SCOBA, will be at the dedication to celebrate this historical moment in Orthodox missions and to lead the gathered faithful in praying for the continuation of this vital work of the Church.
PBS Showcases Orthodox Chant in the Diocese of Charleston
Recently, PBS' Religion and Ethics Weekly program featured chanting from our own Holy Cross Church in Linthicum, Maryland.
Click here to see the PBS feature.
The segment, taped inside the parish of Fr. Gregory and Kh. Frederica Mathewes-Green, beautifully captures the otherworldly essence of Orthodox worship. Church chanter Emily Lowe explains in the clip, "The Orthodox Church is unique in modern times, having a completely sung liturgy. Everything is sung, from beginning to the end." She also gives a helpful beginner's explanation of why there are "dissonant…foreign sounds" in Orthodox worship, and she witnesses to the ascetic tradition of the faith when she concludes, "Orthodoxy demands change. It expects change."

Metropolitan PHILIP's Reply to the Council of Presbyters of the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America
March 26, 2009
Protopresbyter Paul O'Callaghan and
The Council of Presbyters of the Diocese
of Wichita and Mid-America
Beloved in Christ,
Greetings and Blessings to you during this holy season of The Great Fast!
We have received and reviewed your letter dated March 17th, 2009 in which you pose fifteen questions related to the February 24th, 2009 decision of the Holy Synod of Antioch regarding the status of all bishops across the Holy See of Antioch. We will try our best to answer these questions as follows:
1. Are there any other diocesan bishops, outside our Archdiocese, that are affected by the Holy Synod's decision?
Answer: Yes. In the Patriarchate there are three bishops, the Bishop of Saydnaya, the Bishop of Qatana, and the Patriarchal Vicar. In addition, the Archdiocese of Akkar had the Bishop of Tartous and the Bishop of Marmarita & Al Hosn. The Bishop of Marmarita & Al Hosn was elected as Metropolitan for the Archdiocese of Western and Central Europe. The Bishop of Tartous was elected to succeed Metropolitan Paul Bendali in the Archdiocese of Akkar. He refused to have either diocesan or auxiliary bishops in his Archdiocese at this time.
2. There seems to be differences in tone and meaning between the Arabic original and the English translations of Articles 77 and 78. Can these be clarified?
Answer: The English translation was my best effort. If someone can produce a more accurate translation, this would be most welcome.
3. What were the intentions of the Holy Synod in formulating these amendments?
Answer: The intention was to have good order and consistency throughout the Holy See of Antioch by normalizing the status of all bishops.
A Letter from the Council of Presbyters of the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America
March 17, 2009
Your Eminence, Metropolitan PHILIP,
Master, bless.
Our Council of Presbyters met today at St. George Cathedral, Wichita, KS, with deans and elected presbyters, to study the recent decision of the Holy Synod of Antioch regarding the status of diocesan and auxiliary bishops.
With love and reverence, we seek your counsel on the following questions that arose during our deliberations. We assure you of our prayers and respect as our beloved Metropolitan of this Holy and God-Protected Archdiocese, and our love and respect for His Grace, Bishop BASIL. We pray for your continued good health.
We humbly submit the following questions for your consideration.
1. Are there any other diocesan bishops, outside our Archdiocese, that are affected by the Holy Synod's decision?
2. There seems to be differences in tone and meaning between the Arabic original and the English translations of Articles 77 and 78. Can these be clarified?
3. What were the intentions of the Holy Synod in formulating these amendments?
4. Is the Pittsburgh Constitution binding, since it was duly approved and implemented by the legally binding decision made at special Archdiocesan Convention of July 2004?
5. Since official Archdiocesan documents state that the provisions for self-rule, including those pertaining to the local synod of the Archdiocese, are irrevocable, as witnessed both by the Pittsburgh Constitution and the Patriarchal version of October 15, 2004, how can they be overturned by amendment of the Patriarchal by-laws?
6. Given that the granting of self-rule required that the Patriarchal Constitution be amended to reflect the self-ruled status of the North American Archdiocese, and that this constitution governs its by-laws, not vice versa, how could the Constitution be overturned by amendments of by-laws?

Charles Ajalat to Speak at Summer 2009 Conference
Summer Conference 2009 to focus on the shaping of Orthodoxy in America
[Yonkers, NY St. Vladimir's Seminary] Mr. Charles Ajalat, Chancellor of the Self-Ruled Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America (AOCANA), will be a principal speaker at the 2009 summer conference to be held at St. Vladimir's Seminary (SVS) June 18–20, 2009 for clergy and laity. The conference has as its overall theme "The Council and the Tomos: Twentieth-century Landmarks towards a Twenty-first-century Church" and will focus on the formation of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA) and its future. Mr. Ajalat will be discussing the interface of the OCA with the multi-jurisdictional Orthodox Christian communities in the United States and Canada, and the common future of Orthodox Christians in North America.
Conference speakers will focus on two watersheds that have shaped the Orthodox Church in America (OCA): the All-Russian Council (Sobor) of 1917–18 and the Tomos of Autocephaly granted in 1970 by the Russian Orthodox Church to its daughter church, the OCA, then known as the "North American Diocese." As well, conference speakers will address the significance of the OCA's presence in North America, and paths and possibilities open to it.
An Important Statement from the Clergy of the Greater Detroit Area
March 6, 2009
We have heard, to our dismay, that our honored hierarchs, including Metropolitan PHILIP, are upset by a statement, which was recently circulated in the Greater Detroit Area, in support of the decision of the Holy Synod of Antioch, concerning all bishops in the See of Antioch. This letter is to clarify and articulate the true meaning of that statement. We, indeed, have no intention of hurting and/or intimidating any of our hierarchs. We sincerely apologize for any hurt caused unintentionally. As obedient children of the Holy Church, we accept, with humility, this historic decision with much gratitude. We assure our love and respect to all revered hierarchs, and we pray for a smooth transition for our Self-Ruled Antiochian Archdiocese. May the Lord, our God, guide our steps.

Letter from Metropolitan PHILIP Regarding Decision of the Holy Synod
Metropolitan PHILIP writes:
March 4, 2009
Beloved Hierarchs and Clergy, Members of the Board of Trustees of the Archdiocese, Parish Councils and Faithful of this God-Protected Archdiocese:
Greetings and blessings during this Holy Lenten Season!
There have been some questions raised regarding the February 24th decision of the Holy Synod of Antioch which addressed the status of bishops across the entire See of Antioch. The purpose of this letter is to try to answer these questions so that confusion may be avoided.
The first question deals with whether or not I am supportive of the decision of the Holy Synod of Antioch which was taken on February 24, 2009. I am supportive of this decision, for a simple reason. I am convinced that the institutional structure of our Archdiocese here requires it at this time.
Archpastoral Directive + March 3, 2009
Metropolitan PHILIP writes:
To all clergy of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America:
We greet you in the spirit of this Great Lent.
Some of our clergy have inquired about hierarchical commemorations in the divine services. In order to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding, we would like to direct your attention to the following:

The Patriarch and the Holy Synod are the highest authority in our Antiochian Church. You will find enclosed the Arabic text and the English translation which is mine. Since this was a special Synod meeting with only one item on the agenda concerning the bishops, the proposed text of this decision was sent to the members of the Holy Synod, who were not present, for their approval.

Bishop THOMAS and Orthodox Scholars Attend Bioethics Conference in Japan
by Reader Herman Engelhardt and Brian Partridge
|Bp. THOMAS with Metropolitan DANIEL of Japan
A major challenge confronting Orthodox Christians across the world is the impact of the dominant secular culture on how physicians act and patients are treated. This influence is reflected in the use of abortion and the increasing acceptance of physician-assisted suicide across the world. This secular culture and its bioethics touch the lives of patients, physicians, and nurses everywhere. We no longer live in a normatively Christian context.
To address these issues in Japan, a country that is only one percent Christian, a group of Orthodox Christians led by the Right Rev. Bishop THOMAS spent December 5th-15th of 2009 meeting with Japanese scholars and attending academic meetings concerning issues of bioethics. The group consisted of Father Iulian Anitei from Holy Protection of the Theotokos Romanian Orthodox Mission in Houston, Texas; Reader Herman Engelhardt from St. George Antiochian Church in Houston, Texas and professor at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine; and Brian Partridge from All Saints of America Antiochian Church in Homer, Alaska and director at The Center for the Study of Culture, Ethics and the Environment. All members of the group serve in various capacities on the Editorial Advisory Board of the journal Christian Bioethics, now entering its fifteenth year of publication. Christian Bioethics is published by Oxford University Press.
