Could you put links for the links to follow last minute changes as mentioned in blog. I mean put the links in the blog?
i don't know yet if I will muster the energy or time to go there on that day. but I might. (maybe observe from afar, keeping anonymity....healthy walk anyway). no clocks though, that is certain. chess in nature must not have clocks! %-)

donner une idée du décors à partir de la réunion précédente? l'anonymité préservée?

at least that way you get to have a map to click on instead of scrolling repeatedly... in forum in contrast to threadless chat platforms, we like to be able to reference back, or get some sense or where was it that i read this or that...
we could keep pasting a bunch of back link when quoting, but that would be just for sub-thread continuity.
sure if a thread is a survey of opinion not a discussion or a sequence of points complementing each other, maybe the need for navigation map in parallel to current window might be less important.

if there was a way to have big pages with lots of post and still get a workable map showing the current non scroll peek window as one scrolls (that could be a double side bar showing current FOV in the bigger page, then we might as well have infinite scroll. but having page not huge makes for a clickable map.. the bigger the page, the less useful the map increments as navigation helpers. so there are trade offs.

i use to assoicatie infinite scroll a la discord to mapless text wall traversal, with a tree in the face and no idea where in the forest... I recently learned that it was only because nobody thought about the need for navigation in non chat threaded material.. or that is my conclusion.

If I go, can I convince them to add username changes?

Well the forecasted weather has changed for the better.
Looks like it's going to be mainly sunny during the day.

I'm bring my 2 long plastic tables, 8 chairs, 30 chess sets, 6 clocks. I'm also bring my own picnic cooler for my wife and me.
All I'll need is a Lichess mug. Get the hint.... :)

There is normally 2 picnic tables in the area and that makes room for 8 more players. So there should be room to sit 16 chess players that might be dropping by. If others bring their own chess gear like extra clocks, table, chairs, then there will be room for more players to have fun time at the park. If the traffic doesn't stop me, I should be there by 13h00, behind the Smith house under a tree, having a picnic with my wife. If someone wants to play a round robin match on a table the count me in. I think Thibault played Bughouse a few years ago on one of my tables. It's always been a fun time. Note: I'm only responsible for my personal gear.

So, if you really, really, really want to say you will be joining us at the park to play chess or you plan on bringing a chair or table, then add your name to the list. According to the picture I counted 32 faces in the picture. Obviously there were more but did not stick around for the photo. Some how it feels like we will see more people the picture this year.

Hope to meet you there ....
Lets start the list ...
