My question is: Since Atlantic Chess News covered the 2004 Memorial Day Weekend Tournament in Atlantic City (Summer Issue) there should have been games. I have not seen yet games from that tournament. The winner was Paul Howe in the Amateur Section. So, does anyone have games from that event that he played? I'd be interested in seeing how he took first place, and his games. Thanks!

Is there anyone here that uses a mac os x? It does not seem to be any decent software for the plattform! What is the closest thing I can get to Fritz and Chessbase on Mac os x?

Is this a proven draw if the pawns are two files apart? What about other distances apart? Todd

What is a good way to play against someone who likes the French, hates the Sicilian loves to hold onto his black square bishop.!? I've tried to take out his favored bishop but usually lose more than I should in material. I'm fairly good. Been learning my openings but tend to hit a brain freeze in the late opening to midgame.

You should definately give this program a try! It has a very good training feature, not only for openings, but also for middle and endgame positions. The program is very new, but is still in development, and the author is very open to suggestions, so I guess we can expect a LOT of improvements. But already, it is a hell of a lot better than Bookup when it comes to training, so there is no use...

Hello, I need advice what to play after 12.0-0-0. I found 2 games in Mega Base 2004 (black played Bd7 and Nxg5), but I don't like these moves. What is your opinion on final position? I am black and I had 2 minutes left and I accept draw offer. KymF (2088) - Fege (1950) IFCL 60 30 Free Internet Chess Server (3), 26.09.2004

I read on the internet that Lasker once drew against Capablanca with only a knight versus a rook and a pawn. If anyone has this game, please post it. I am curious to see what position would lead to a draw in this situation. Marty

This game ended in a draw in which Fine had knight and g- and h-pawns against Reshevsky's bishop. In BASIC CHESS ENDINGS (page 215 of the original edition), Fine gives an analysis including a missed win before the knight plus two pawns vs bishop position was reached. Averbakh seems to agree that the game was drawn after that point. Anthony Saidy reviewed the new edition of BCE on Jeremy...

Hi folks, I was wondering one day what would happen if Black took on e4 right away in the Cochrane gambit. I found that White has a number of winning lines. Some lines were surprising. Black has to really watch himself. Here is some analysis. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nxf7 This is the Cochrane Gambit 4...Kxf7 5.d4 Nxe4? I wanted to see if I could exploit this early capture. If I can come

Weirdest thing I have ever seen in computer chess or just normal chess. 3r4/1k3P2/2n1qPP1/p3P3/1p5P/2B3R1/6BK/8 w - - 0 45 This position arose after moves of a game between Fritz 8 and Shredder 8. I was watching the game and could not believe that white lost. Black has just played 44...Bb2

Hi, I have a question for the Stonewall's theory specialists. I do not play it but I vaguely know that a usual way to get the Stonewall while avoiding the messy anti-Dutch gambits (1.d4-f5 2.e4,Nc3,h3,g4,Bg5 ..) is via Slav ( Meran) or QGD : 1.d4-d5 2.c4-e(c)6 3.Nc3-c(e)6 4.Nf3-f5..
