I have read Learn Chess: A Complete Course and am reading Logical Chess:

but at the same time very tedious with all the move lists. It wasn't exactly

Consider the following idea.
You arrive at your favorite chess hangout and see someone new sitting in
a corner. He appears to be an out-of-towner. You go over and invite him
to play. He counters your proposal with an offer to play a new type of
chess. Somewhat puzzled, you agree. You ask him to explain what he has

dietchess,
The bottom line is simple. From the evidence which I have received
(which is quite substantial), only one of two things can happen.
1. The persons who came forward with evidence are not telling the truth.
2. Some board members / delegates are not telling the truth.
The most interesting part is the following:

A big bug was found and removed.
Now it will not show awkward scores.
I was very worried it used to show +2 benefit in equal positions. Now
it show 0.02 in equal position.
So the Scores will be correct as per the position of the board.
That was a great Bug which give 2 pawn losses in equal positions.

I'm studying Giuoco Piano right now and I have a question about how to
play when Black doesn't follow the first few moves. For example:
1 e4 e5
2 Nf3
If, instead of 2...Nc3, Black plays something (other than 2...Nf6) that
does not protect his e5 pawn, should White play 3 Nxe5? I mean, this is
the reason you attack the pawn in the first place, but it also seems to
violate the rule of moving...
