Hello chess players, I was wondering if there is an Internet Website that i can play chess against other members for real money. Do you know of one?

Hi! Is it possible to use Crafty as a "chess coach"? I wanna learn some openings and must do a lot of drills on endings, and was wondering if Crafty can be used to that. I'm using Linux, and my version of wine is somewhat old, so Bookup or CBLight are not an option... TIA

I have learned, after considerable study in the field of digital data transmission via fiber optics, that no matter how fast, how strong, how robust, an electronic device can become, the quantum laws of physics require that an occasional 1 in a digital logic process will show up as a 0. I think this might be a proof that chess will never be solved by a computer. Anyone out there wanna argue the...

Otherwise a machine would not have been able to defeat a human. Machines are superior to humans in many tasks including chess but not in tasks where true creative intelligence is required. Therefore, chess is not a sign of intelligence but rather an indicator of possessing certain abilities like memory, logical or cause and effect thinking; both of which a machine excels at; a human, however, is...

Has anybody here subcribed to the services at http://www.chesspublishing.com? I was thinking of purchasing a subscription. What do you think of it? Are their e-books any good? It also seems that you need special software to see the ebooks they provide. Can you download the ebooks and still use them if you don't renew?

Is there an accepted formula for translating ChessMaster 10 rating into human rating? At this point in time it is not convenient for me to seek out face-to-face human appointments. But I am interested in how well I would fair against rated players based on how well I am doing against CMX

How are the Roman videos, say the first 6-10? How are the Polgar videos? How 'bout the Foxxy videos? Need some input, some opinions from savvy guys/gals.

I highly recommend 'Chess Position Trainer' !! It's a fairly new program and it's slicker than snot! I've been discovering its features tonight and have been amazed at what it can do. Oh, one more thing. It's FREE !!!!! Yep, you heard right. It's FREE!!! You don't have to troll the Internet for any 'cracks' or bootleg copies.... It's also an excellent tool to study tactics.. Find it here..

Is a multiprocesser computer - and which one - with Super Fritz or Super Junior that much more powerful than a regular PC with the latest Fritz or other program? If not, then what combination of PC and chess engine would be most worthwhile to invest in. I'm currently using a two year old Fritz 8 program with a bottom of the line Dell Dimension 2350 three years old. Would be grateful for help in...

I'm looking for a handheld, dedicated chess computer. My preferred features: 1. great screen/presentation 2. playing strength 3. ability to save games I already have a PocketPC but I hate the way it croaks if it's not constantly recharged. Suggestions?

Road to Financial Freedom -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GET $50,000 in 4-5 MONTHS!

(This came out of an ongoing discussion about whether playing chess shows intelligence, with a comparison of Nalimov Tablebase lookups and the Chinese Room thought experiment.) Note to the non-chess-player: a "ply" is a black move or a white move. Cheesplayers call ten black 'moves' and ten white 'moves' ten moves/twenty plies. "FIDE" is the international chess federation. A "3 man...

Can someone tell me which is stronger, ChessMaster 10 or Fritz 4.01, which comes with ChessBase Light (and by about how much)? Of course they will always be able to kick my butt from here to tomorrow, but since I am using both for analysis, I am curious. Thanks

Does anyone have any experience with adding together different engine-books? Does it improve the engine-performance in any way or change the way it behaves? I like to know this. Thanks in advance, Ruud --

To those of you not old enough to remember, Peter Frey and Larry Atkin (co-author of Chess 2.x, 3.x and 4.x) published a chess program written in Pascal, in the Byte Magazine in 1978 and 1979. After all these years, it's finally been put into electronic form and made available. It's a classic chess program, just like Sargon. Although Chess05 was based on a mainframe chess program, rather than...

Time to trade in my ancient Fritz 5.32! I'm looking for a new program to analyse my games and do training against. Is there much between the various engines that ChessBase offer? It seems I can get Fritz 8 for £20 off Amazon while the others are closer to £40 off specialist chess vendors. Am I right in thinking the interface all offer the same functionality offered by the Fritz 8...

How do you like it? I'm seriously trying to decide between it and Chess Position Trainer. I need feedback pretty quick.. Thanks all! John
