Have today's chess rules attained perfection, or can they still be improved in some way, leading to an enhanced variability? What would happen if the castle move was modified? I suggest the following. Extended castle: when castling the king may jump *three* squares, but it can also jump two as usual. The rook ends up on its usual square. In Chess with Extended Castle, queenside castle will occur...

Now after a month there was a little twitting done to GetClub. I hope that will improve GetClub a quite bit. Now opponent will face a quite stronger opponent at GetClub. It will be very difficult to beat the Beginner level now, as it will think much smarter. Game Played between Jester and beginner at GetClub.com

I am in the process of reprinting and revising "A Grammar of Pashto" by Herbert Penzl. Published in 1955, this work is the only study of the Pashto Language by a qualified linguistic scholar. I plan to provide some new material in an attempt to bring it up to date. I plan to add around 20-30 new pages, provided that I can find useful material.

10 Big Differences Between Men’s and Women’s Brains Jun 16th, 2009 www.mastersofhealthcare.com The differences between women and men are not only well-documented, but frequently at the heart of jokes, anecdotes, and good-natured (and not so good-natured) ribbing.

I. INTRODUCTION In their opposition brief, plaintiffs offer only a desultory defense of their counsel's unethical conduct. Plaintiffs instead argue, without citation to case law, that Polgar has no right to bring her motion, and that plaintiffs effectively waived any conflicts that obtained from Kronenberger's employment. But plaintiffs are wrong. Polgar has standing both as a USCF Executive...

I agree and I would say that if I am elected, in spite of all the opposition here, that should viewed as a mandate for keeping the magazines. No member of the current board, nor any of the candidates other than myself, have spoken in favor of keeping the magazines. Why do they think that people join the USCF, if not for the magazines?

In my Koltanowski project, I am finding some interesting things. There is an endgame study in the book that is incorrect. The databases give the date of the study as 1960, which seems possibly incorrect. 1. According to Wikipedia, Kolty played a postal type game with Keres in which readers suggested the moves, Kolty chose one, and so on. Supposedly this game was called off as Keres adjudicated...

After several years of trying to buy this pamphlet, I finally got a copy on e-bay for 30 bucks. It is a hard book to find, and Kolty's chess problems are not represented anywhere in the chess problem literature as near as I can tell (they aren't in the databases) and that is a deficit , as it shows further evidence of his all-round skill. It was published by the San Francisco Chronicle, but no...

A new Player at GetClub: Mack123 plays very cunningly. He plays with Easy level all the time. He won each game in jyst 20-30 moves. While other players like Help Bot & taylor Kingston take 40-60 moves to win against the easy level. He took 17 moves, 20 moves and 32 moves to win 3 games.

A NEW ONE I have not followed this debate on eugenics very closely. Is my understanding correct that Greg Kennedy cannot answer some questions from Taylor Kingston because historical information is copyrighted? That's a new one, if such is what this clown from Indiana is claiming. Yours, Larry Parr

Anyone who has reviewed the evidence in the USCF cases can piece this plot together easily. It was revealed in pieces. The first piece was an e-mail from the originator of the plot, to an unspecified USCF board member. All we saw was the response from the board member, who noted the illegality of what was proposed, and that the target might "die anyway" in a few years. The board member said...

People are talking about revoking the USCF membership of Susan Polgar and Paul Truong as a way of getting them off the board, but it may be impossible to revoke their memberships if they are not members in the first place.

In this case, it was a reasonable shot to take in that...
