...I noted a number of areas for further modifications. Although none of these were particularly urgent, I tackled a few of them for this current post:-
More to follow...
Putting it all together, the post 'C15-C29 QP for IZ/KO' linked the QP page for each referenced cycle to the corresponding IZ/KO page. The earlier cycles, C01-C14, had already been done. At the end of the post, I wrote,
The next step will be to link the IZ/KO/WCup pages back to the corresponding QP page.
Since I had already prepared this in the earlier post Qualification Paths for IZ/KO Events (December 2020; 'To facilitate the crosslink action, I developed a table of pages that need to be changed.'), the task to link the IZ++ pages was relatively straightforward. There were 38 such pages.
While I was working on those two previous posts and this current post, I had the opportunity to review all of the 29 QP pages as a matched set, and all of the 38 IZ++ pages as another matched set. (C09-C14 had two or three Interzonals each.) I identified a number of discrepancies that I'll tackle in another post.
Crosslink (in both directions) the IZ/KO/WCup pages with the corresponding QP page for faster navigation between them. [...] To facilitate the crosslink action, I developed a table of pages that need to be changed.
For this current post, I linked the 'QP' pages (Qualification Paths) to the corresponding IZ/KO/WCup pages. As I noted in the previous post,
Zonal Qualifiers (QP) for C01 through C14 already have a link to the corresponding Interzonal(s).
For the other cycles, here are links to the first and the last QP pages for those cycles:-
The next step will be to link the IZ/KO/WCup pages back to the corresponding QP page.
As for that second action stemming from the '2020 Candidates', to crosslink pages, I'll tackle it another time.
More specifically:-
Crosslink (in both directions) the IZ/KO/WCup pages with the corresponding QP page for faster navigation between them.
The acronym 'QP' stands for 'Qualification Paths'. To facilitate the crosslink action, I developed a table of pages that need to be changed.
Legend: Codes used in 'Format'.
NB:
(1)
Zonal Qualifiers (QP) for C01 through C14 already have a link to the corresponding Interzonal(s).
(2)
The last event in the list, '1993 Groningen PCA Qualifying Tournament', could use a note on how the players were selected.
"I wanted to defeat Bobby" | GM Anatoly Karpov Interview (20:20) • '[Published on] Jan 29, 2020'
The GibChess description said,
A candid interview with former World Champion Anatoly Karpov. The Russian GM shares stories and reflections on his chess career with Tania Sachdev. Special thanks to Chess Base India.
For a transcript of the video, see Karpov on Fischer, Korchnoi, Kasparov and the chess world today (chessbase.com). For a related Youtube video, this one from GBC News and with far fewer views, see Former Official Chess World Champion Anatoly Karpov on the Rock. Its description said,
Former Official Chess World Champion Anatoly Karpov is visiting the Rock as part of the Gibraltar International Chess Festival. Considered one of the greatest players in history, he's the third longest world champion, behind Magnus Carlsen and Garry Kasparov. Christine Vasquez took the opportunity of gaining an insight into current developments in Russian politics but first asked Mr Karpov how he felt to be on the Rock supporting the Chess festival.
Change 'third longest world champion' to 'third longest world champion in post-WWII times' and I'll say no more, even though Carlsen hasn't (yet) caught up with Karpov.
