GetClub Game was further improved. The old trick that nomorechess suggested is not working as it lost 5/5 games. It lost to stykumb who was unable to win earlier. So that improvement has been removed. Play Chess at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html Now it will think much deeper. And only the Beginner Level will play a simple game. Higher Level will play much stronger. Bye

who do you think will this match?

After a long time strong player Bonsai was beaten by Easy Level. Now Easy Level will give very tough challenge to even strong Players. Recorded Game: http://www.getclub.com/playgame.php?id=DM12802&game=Chess 3 days back Nomorechess was down to king vs king+knight Game with Beginner Level.

Has Gotta Kamsky found his form again? Is he really that good at chess? How come Gotta keeps beating all these GMs. If Gotta qualifies for the next candidates match, then he will be playing mostly young people.

I ran Shredder for about 24 hours and Rybka for 4 days. The position is from the English opening A33 : r1bq1rk1/pp1p1ppp/2n1pn2/8/1bPN4/2N3P1/PP2PPBP/R1BQ1RK1 b - - 0 8 With black to move. Conventional wisdom...

Nomorechess suggested me that GetClub Chess should look for Defence moves and also look ahead when something is captured or King gets Check. His technique was implemented.

Probably a stupid question, considering the current state of all newsgroups. But anyway...this used to be a place where you could find some interesting and serious analysis. Now you have jokers trying to make money online with their crappy chess programs and advertising their silly games, and the usual Sloan and Chess One bs. Any listservs or groups for somewhat serious players?

Since we have so few cases of contested races in small states, I don't know if we can definitively say whether or not it is easier to get elected from a small state than from a large state. The best example of the problem this would create is Mike Nolan himself. Mike is from Nebraska, a state with only one delegate slot. Yet, for some unknown reason, Nebraska has produced more chess

This occurred to me today on FICS, when someone needed an example of O-O mate. Premise: Starting from the initial position, construct the shortest possible game so that the final move is a mate delivered by castling. I could quickly come up with a solution in 9: 1 f4 f5 2 e4 fxe4 3 b3 Kf7 4 Bb2 Kg6 5 Bc4 Kf5 6 h4 Kxf4 7 h5 Kf5 8 h3 Nc6* 9 O-O#
