Hi. The following is a game I played on FICS recently. The time control was G/60 with a 5s increment. The game goes into a rook and pawns vs. rook and pawns endgame, with my opponent up an extra pawn. I'm especially looking for any sort of help I can get on my endgame, here, but any other advice is, as always, welcome. In the end, I won, but not, I think, because I played the endgame (or...

The "Fumble Factors" of Great Players Of any given player, I'm often interested to know, "How many games has s/he lost when playing with the White pieces?" My personal name for this factor is "the Fumble Factor", and I think it is an interesting thumbnail measure of precision of play: other things being equal, a highly precise player who is among the best living should not lose playing...

The game begins 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 This is a premature Queen attack, so there should be a convincing refutation, right? I don't know what it is, so I play 2 ... Nc6

I used to read comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c++ where people responds very quickly. So i thought that this NG is not willing to respond. Going through the previous thread I released that I am wrong.

I have a suggestion: Have a Chess Player reality show where you drop a bunch of chess players (from beginner to grandmaster) on an island and see what happens. And unlike "survivor" etc. this would not be a game with prizes but instead it would be a real life Lord of the Flies - only with mixed ages of chess players - and no outside resources or help. The island would have enough food to...

Anyone have any ideas for good "advanced chess books"? I am rated a little over 1900 and enjoy going through multitudes of game collections, but I'm looking for something a little different. I've been through "Reassess Your Chess" (Silman), "The Middle-Game in Chess" (Znosko-Borovsky), "Judgement and Planning in Chess" (Euwe), "Art of Attack" (Vukovic), "Pawn Structure Chess" (Soltis), and...

hello Guys, I am a starting player and i have got a copy of CM 7000 last week cheap ($5). I have been playing some rated games against it, and beginning with rated games CM 700 does not allow me to play against opponents rated higher that 2200. Now, playing 20 mins for each player i am able to beat the highest rated opponent that i am allowed to play (tried sunny/2180 Dylan/1980 )...

I witnessed an absolutely disgusting player at the USOPEN: He was a senior player with all sorts of open wounds on his arms He constantly picked his teeth (with both hands) and then would touch the pieces leaving fragments of decaying food/flesh on the pieces and board Next he would belch constantly with no effort to stop himself and just being a spectator many feet away I could smell a very...

Are there famous games that had illegal moves? I think this would most likely involve check, castling, and en passant situations. Or could a game have wrongly ended by checkmate when there was another move? Perhaps only chess idiots would play such games!?

Hi, Reading up on the subject of chess I have come across various techniques of sacrifice. I am curious if somebody might be willing to assist me in my search and direct me to websites about this specific subject as well as any recent books.... I play email chess at: http://www.e4ec.org/

I wanted to print out some scoresheets. There are numerous excellent printable examples on the Web, but, being obsessed with typesetting in the LaTeX system, and finding no LaTeX chess form, I reinvented the wheel and created a LaTeX scoresheet. Most scoresheets I've seen go up to about move 80. I know there are longer games on record, although of course the vast majority are shorter. Now, by...
