Duncan Oxley has died Duncan Oxley, a well known chess tournament and Internet personality has died in Marina, California. I am shocked to hear of his death especially since he called me on Wednesday, August 29, 2007, and we had a telephone conversation lasting over an hour on a wide variety of topics. He told me that he was seriously ill. He had a disease of the large

I was trying different layouts on Chessbase9 for viewing Chess Media Files. But now, I cannot get it back to the original layout with the board in the left half; the notation window at the top right and the Video and multimedia controls at the bottom right. Help!!!!! I could always go back to factory settings... but I do not want to loose my other customizations for color, pieces, board...

Okay, so now I am reading the September 2007 issue of Chess Life... First off, I notice that GM Andy Soltis tries to prove that a couple of grandmasters do not cheat by showing some positions where they played moves which don't match those selected by computers. This is a really dumb approach, since a player could cheat and be considered a cheater even if he only cheats let's say 1% of...

I was thinking the GetClub Chess will win a lot of games now, But I am seeing that the results are not comming as predicted.

This is a request to anyone who has wrote a chess book, or is thinking of writing one. Could you please make the PGN files available for the games in the book? Despite sites like Chessgames.com, ChessBase, TWIC etc, it is often difficult to find the PGNs of the games in many books. In a recent book on the Smith Morra gambit, "The Morra Gambit: A dynamic weapon against the Sicilian" by...

I played the following game on ICC - not a particularly good game, as there were lots of unforced errors. But the ending is interesting. Is this winnable by White (which I was) or is it a draw? (In essence, I had a queen and my opponent a pawn and rook.) I know the 5-piece endgame tablebases would have this, but I don't have them on this computer. But I was more interested in the...

There have been a few threads recently about game commentaries that seemingly depend too heavily on engine annotation without the application of some common sense. I recently played a quick sparring game against Shredder 10 where the engine annotation by blundercheck was found wanting. Strangely even though all the engines in infinite analysis or deep positional analysis could easily see that...

I am still (yes, STILL) reading the August 2007 issue of Chess life, and have finally made it to GM Pal Benko's column (page 56). He starts off with a rapid event where GM Kramnik had White against GM Leko in game 5. A rather unusual sequence of moves led to an early trade of Queens, and I suspect, a heavily-analyzed (by GM Kramnik) position. White starts off with the superior pawn...

I find it difficult to complete games in time. So a bit of strength was decreased to improve game speed. I would like to know is the playing strength ok or you want a much stronger opponent? Play a game and tell me http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html If I increase its stregth then it will think longer. Please let me
