Can someone explain that? Set up a 40 game match before bed last night, both with 512Mbyte Hash Tables running on Pentium IV 3.2GHz. I woke up expecting a closer match than the 38-2 thrashing Fritz 8 dealt out to Shredder 8. No draws, and the 2 games Shredder 8 won were when it was playing white. Game format was the default Fritz Blitz 4' 2". Perhaps I'll try the long game, as the engines...

Hi, anyone know of free chess server software for online playing -- other than BeholderBoard? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. jerryt

Chessmaster for kids, IMO. Same old **** in a new package... No Staunton 2D pieces either, if the demo is anything to go by. As for online play, it's going to be infested with kids/rookies/cheats, because of the newbie segment the program caters to. All in all a good buy if you've never used a newer Chessmaster version but if you own anything starting from CM 6000, you can safely give this...

What's the difference between "Shredder Classic" and "Shredder 8"? Shredder Classic looks like a good deal at $30 but if Shredder 8 is stronger I'd rather have that instead (email )

If you're at the World Open, visit the Bookup table. It'll be my 17th year there I think. This summer should be the final development of Bookup 2004 so stop by and pitch your ideas and get answers. Mike Leahy "The Database Man!" www.bookup.com

I'm tring to install a bit of software on a SunPCi card. Much against my better judgement, I bought this piece of software which is protected by a product from Macrovision. The basic idea of the protection system is that you need to occassionly insert the original disk in the CD-ROM drive of the computer. (I assume you can't copy the original in a CD burner). The problem I'm having is that the...

I've finally got some early but presentable Palm CHESS pages up on my website! As most folk probably know I do the opening book work for HIARCS, so it is the arrival of Palm HIARCS with its medium and large versions of my Book, now joining combat with Palm Genius and Palm Tiger that has energised me into action! I am certain that Palm HIARCS is quite a lot stronger than the other two - of...

Since no one strong wants to take on Bobby at fischerandom, despite his repeated challenges to all comers (in three separate radio interviews with Radio Bomba), Bobby has taken the battle to them. Playing as he does, shuffling K and Q on the backrank (and I have games where more pieces are shuffled too - one in which at the end of the opening, all White's pieces are back on the first...

says... Absolutely. I don't really care whether it's Fischer or not, but I would really like to see ANYBODY win a game against a strong opponent after moving his king out in the first few moves. Try it with a strong chess program playing the side that moves the king out and the time controls set to blitz.

Please take this foolish discussion out of this newsgroup.

THIS REALLY CAN MAKE YOU EASY MONEY!! IT WORKS!!! A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought," Yeah, right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, but I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said...

There is a lot to pick from. So far I know that OS5 is a good choice, but not much more. Since I'd like to mainly use it for a good game I figure I could strip away some devices with the advice here. E.G. Would a b/w display not go with some playing software? A Pocket PC would be great but probably too costly for just chessing around at my level ( A solid USCF 2300-2400 is enough I think-- if...

I'm looking for a good S/W program for my 5+ years old. She seems facinated by the game. Currently we already have "Learn to Play Chess". She already knows rules on moving all pieces, mate with 1 King and 2 rooks, castling. Needs help on things like pin, fork, etc standard tactics. Any suggestions? Thanks,
