I forgot to tell that I need only the three and the four man endgames. Edgar Binder wrote: Hi, I need the Edwards endgame tablebase but google only gave me dead links. Does anyone know where I can download the files (or a generator)? The Nalimov's tablebase won't do unless someone can

While looking for a downloadable version of Crafty the other day, I got slightly annoyed because I couldn't find it. Would anybody be interested in helping me build a website as a download repository for chess engines? - i.e. in the spirit of download.com, hotscripts and sourceforge - but only for chess engines. Maybe have a forum for discussion of their installation, configuration,...

Been thinking of getting the Chessbase 9.0 starter package.

I am not very computer literate,so please bear with me. My problem is that I was once able to 'click' on any blue highlighted Internet address in posted mail, and I would be taken automatically to the appropriate Web site. However I have done something wrong as I am now unable to do that. Clicking on any Web address now, produces no response at all.

I like this feature....the Mephisto Maestro does it... what other units give you an estimated rating based upon your games (stand alones, LCD, peg, etc...) thanks!

Speaking of Kasparov. I've been trying for sometime to locate a copy of the promo posters for Kasparov vs Deep Blue the first match that were plastered all over NYC prior to their match with a picture of an intense looking Kasparov and the catch phrase "How do you make a computer blink?" If anybody has one, please let me know. Obviously I'm interested in purchasing it or, if you do not wish to...

Im going over Basic Endgame Course by Pandolfini. I want to practice the positions against Pocket Fritz. Is there a way to dl all 213 positions in a database without having to enter the book manually onto my pocket pc? Wahooka

Does anyone know of Palm chess software that would do the following: 1) Quize on Board Notation (i.e. Present highlighted cell and ask you to quickly give the cell notation) Such a program would be useful for a beginner to come up to speed on board notation 2) Chess Puzzles. The Software would presents a board and your task would be to find a given tatic. 3) Software that would estimate your ELO...

I have read that a good way to learn is to adopt a "role model" Master and play over his games.What great one favored Colle opening or non-gambit 1.D4? -- Thanks, Hank

I use the SOS engine with Arena. I don't like. How can I access more engines? RN

The Year of the USCF Election Fraud 2005 will become known as the Year of the USCF Election Fraud. Every election contains false statements by the candidates. However, this year and this election sets some sort of record for outrageously false and fraudulent statements. A flyer handed out in support of the so-called "team" of four running as a slate this year contains false statements about each...

Official Announcement: Kasparov has offered 1 million dollars cash of his own money winner take all match to Kramnik - Kasparov- "I'm putting my money where my mouth is"

This is way beyond my computer skills but can some group member add pgn and chessbase files to the new google desktop search tool? It asks for people to add plugins of new files types. Then we could search our chess games with it. They recently added pdf and image files and it works great on those . It is MUCH faster than the search tool built into windows. The first time you use it it takes a...

Thanks to Fischer there came Big Money to Professional Chess. Karpov, Kortchnoi, Kasparov, Short, Anand, & Kramnik were able to benefit from it. Now with Kasparov gone will any of the remaining Chess Professionals be able to draw such high wages. I for one don't think so, however I know that this remains to be seen?

Hi NG. I know this question properly have been asked many times before, but anyway: Does anyone know a good _free_ program for playing chess against the computer? /Hans

I wonder if someone has done a reasonably scientific experiment by letting a decent human chess player use a strong chess program in a match against another copy of this very same chess program. In particular, I'd like to know if, say, a 2400 GM using a 2400 AI is able to gain strong advantage against the AI. To make the match more fair, the resources for the opponent AI could be doubled, so as...

Fritz 8 Deluxe box says it contains "Kasparov Training Videos". So far I have found only parts 3, 4, and 5 of his video on how to play the Queen's Gambit opening, starting his analysis at move 93. He appears to be making moves on a computer, but you can't see his screen. It seems this is just a come-on to buy his DVD on the QGD. Am I missing something? Are there any other "Kasparov Training...

I ran CM 7K with no problem for years especially as a trainer for my nephews when they visit.I recently reformatted my PC (Win98) because it was so slow.Now the PC runs great BUT I can't get CM 7K to run.I have unloaded and reloaded it with the same results. ---When I put disc 1 in and hit autoplay the figure of the old man comes up,I choose "run" and a small 2" X 5" window with the same gray...
