I estimate my playing strength based on how often I beat my PC chess playing software (I have several programs, and a couple of handhelds), whose Elo is calibrated according to the SSDF rating list found he http://ssdf.bosjo.net/list.htm The SSDF site has a interesting link to a Man Vs.

I downloaded the 3-men tablebases in .emd format to be used in GetClub Chess. I want to know the correct move for an endgame with 3 pieces left including Kings. Say KRK 1. How to get the .emd format to something I can understand it?

A lot of fans of Rybka (Taylor Kingston being one of them) think it's better because it's more positional. But the latest Rybka, ver 4, is more tactical says the author, and much stronger. An admission that the previous "positional" Rybka was flawed. Just like I always knew and suspected. RL

In Below game with Normal Level . GetClub is behind in development. The game is not complete yet. But now I want to know what can GetClub do to stop the two center pawns of IVAN?

Here is a java chess program that I have written: http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/javachess/index.html Its main feature is that it is not extremely strong, so you should actually be able to beat it if you manage to avoid tactical errors. -- Peter Osterlund - http://web.telia.com/~u89404340

Has anyone had any success in configuring SCID for correspondence chess using Windows XP and using Outlook Express as the mail client? I am trying to play correspondence chess using http://www.chess-server.net/ and would like to use SCID. Any help would be appreciated.

This rewrite of my initial engine actually started with endgame.h (which was then quickly forgotten and is currently disabled) A gapless index function should be pretty feasible.

Neil McDonald, in his book Positional Sacrifices (1994) says Alekhine never saw an exchange sac RxNc3 in his life, whereas nowadays this position is well known to be equal. True or false?

Maybe some...

If you are among those still receiving Chess Life in the mail, your ballot came wrapped around the magazine. Open the ballot and look at the cover. Good thing they hid it. What is this? Another terrible cover. Out of focus, mis-colored. Cannot even tell if this is a drawing or a photograph. Almost every cover this year has been bad. We thought that the Photoshopped picture of a cow on the cover...

The reason I post these introductions before I actually publish the book is that I eagerly await corrections or criticisms that you may provide. I corrected the error of stating that the Chess Olympiad and World War II started in 1938 rather than 1939 almost as soon as I had posted it here. Of course, the reason for my error was that Olympiads are usually held in even-numbered years.

Is Chessmaster The Art of Learning, Grandmaster Edition ( 2007 ) the last product that Ubi will be offering in the Chessmaster series? I was looking at their site for any patches for Windows 7 ( the game STILL hangs once in awhile sigh ) but found none, or any mention of future releases. --

Does anyone know where I can get some decent icons that will work with Win 7 and CM Grandmaster Edition? That icon they give you STINKS. -- - Jane Galt
