Does anyone have some links to chess problems in pgn format? TIA

Does anyone know if there are any websites with information on using disdributed computing for chess. That is, is it possible to have many computers analyzing different lines of a chess game to come up with the best move.

Hi there, I compiled Fruit 2.1 from source (Windows 2000) with the Intel C++ Compiler 9.0. After optimizing for my CPU (AMD Athlon XP 2500+) and profile based optimization I found out that my fruit version still isn't faster (nodes/sec) than the original exe. It's even, in the best case. Any suggestions which compiler options should be used?

Made an error in post. Sorry.

that are the same , Shredder vs Shredder or any two that are the same will they draw ? Or if one wins does that mean that the program in one is some how stronger than the other one ?

I watch this movie tonight, sort of, while I was working on something. I found it interesting..and was shocked to hear Kasparov say he was cheated. Anyone got strong (or better still, informed) opinions about this. Did the Deep Blue team cheat and have grandmasters available to kill off errant candidate moves for DB when Kasparov got tricky, or is Kasparov a whiner who needs to make excuses...

A few weeks ago I did a little data-mining on the game of chess. I analyzed (using some scripting, of course) approx 350000 games by grandmasters and rookies. The results can be found he http://www.vanheusden.com/misc/datamining_on_chess.html

Is it possible to Save the training presentation you can get at Playchess.com using the Fritz Chess media system.?? You may want to playback some instructions "at least audio and animation" again. You PAY 2 ducats for it!! You should be allowed to replay it.!!! If that is possible ... how can I do it.?? Thanks. Locksley

Why do I all of a sudden get multiple gray database windows in My Documents/Chessbase/Databases, instead of regular old red ones and why do they remain after I've deleted these files from Chessbase program?

What's the story of keys? sorting database on specific things?

I am excited as I won my first game playing against KChess Elite computer chess. I am new to chess, less than a week or so and I copied the game and was wondering if someone could look at it and see if I made some decent moves? I played white and made the first move. Also, if there is another way to provide chess game information besides copying and pasting, please let me know. Thanks, Mark

Hi, has someone an idea, how to implement Shredder 9 uci under Arena. thanks, Karl

I'd be more then grateful. Doesn't have to be cracked just the engine please.

I recently purchased chessbase 9 and megabase, and I've certainly noticed it's a powerful program. I've heard a lot about how top players use cb 9 for opening preparation, almost universally. problem is, I'm having trouble doing so in a clear and organized way -- and the tutorials I find online seem pretty scant. any tips or methods for building and enhancing a repertoire? what do you do? -- The...

I have Fritz 8. How can I email a selected game from the database. After doing an analysis on a game we played, I would like top email the game... How can I do that? The way I ended up doing it was to export it as a pgn file and then attach it to an email. Is there a slicker way to email games from chessbase databases? Thanks. Locksley

Does anyone else find some of the Chessmaster personalities to be a good deal easier/harder than their rankings seem to indicate in the hierarchy? I find it very very hard to beat Buck, for example, or even Vlad. T.C. also kicks my arse. On the other hand, I can wipe the floor with Rick. That punk plays the most unsound opening gambits, and when he initiates a series of exchanges, you can bet...

What's worse than playing a rated Chessmaster game against an opponent 250 points stronger than you? Playing a rated Chessmaster game against an opponent 250 point stronger than you and making a mouse-slip putting down a piece!! John ....ready to kill someone
