Has anyone found a way to play on ICC using a PDA (specically in my case an HP iPAQ 4150 'pocketpc') ? The only way I have found is to use Intelli Chess, but that suffers several serious problems. 1) The pieces are difficult to see and distinuish. 2) You can only play on ICC as a guest. 3) When I played a game on ICC and my opponent promoted a pawn, (I assume to a queen), it remained looking...

hi. anyone know where i can play against computer over internet? i want practice but don't want to play human because i don't really want rudeness or anything if win or lose, just play against machine. both strong and weak computer welcomed.

I have a position that I wish Fritz to examine. At present it simply examines a very strong line and forgets the rest. Is there anyway I can get it to report on many different lines other then me specifying what they are. --

Clear DayFair warning to all fellow chess players.....Avoid the well-known liar and thief Mike Leahy with his ripoff software "Bookup".........stick to reputable chess software companies such as Chessbase, Convekta, etc 1. Mike Leahy spams the hell out of you if you are foolish enough to give him your email address, and he will sell that email address to third parties and they will spam the...

All, New to this group but a long time Chessmaster series owner (CM2000-CM3000-CM6000). I would like to get a quality computer chess program for use on my Win 2K Pro workstation and I have noted with a bit of wonder that the Chessmaster series has never officially supported this platform! I am not opposed to going with some other program as long as it contains good teaching material for...

BEWARE of MIKE LEAHY. He has no utility to this newsgroup except to take every opportunity he can to HARD SELL his THIRD RATE product with an UGLY INTERFACE and DUBIOUS UTILITY. He has been accused on this very group of --DISHONORING-- his "money back guarantee" and of --SELLING HIS CUSTOMERS' EMAIL-- addresses to Internet marketers a.k.a SPAMMERS. There's no reason why complete strangers would...

I like Mike Leahy's Book-Up product - It has some nice training features and a crisp look to it. Whenever I've seen Mike at tournaments, he was always polite to me & acknowledged the virtues of other companies chess software, without trying overly hard to convince me of the greatness of his own. (He lets the Bookup advertising materials do that). But the Bookup web page is a bit odd. The ...

I have a file of positions in pgn format, 1154 of them to be exact. Here is an example of one:

I have released a new version of my chess engine, Needle. It is available from address http://www.math.hut.fi/~mnummeli/needle/ Improvements (hopefully so!) from previous version are for example new evaluation function, unmakemove and resign option, but the complete diff is also available on the site for those interested. A question: If anyone tests this, are there any suggestions to improve...

I have seen many references to a chess engine called Hitech that was created around the time of Deep Thought 1. From the papers referring to it I am gathering that it was more of a true AI than the brute force Deep Thought. I would very much like to find a paper or site that describes how this program worked(s). Something academic is of more use to me, but failing that I will settle for...

I'm currently playing around with ChessGenius on the Palm. ChessGenius has an "Analyze game" option. It's like being in 2 (human) player mode but as you move the pieces, ChessGenius continuously calculates and shows what lines it's favoring. It also displays the overall numeric value of the position. I've always understood this value is to be in "# of pawns" with positive values...

I thought I had the link but apparently not..I have often questioned the thought though,how accurate is it?Thanks.

When I am playing an online game using CM 9000 version 1.0.2 the chat "send" button is greyed out and I cannot communicate with the other player. Anyone have a fix for this?
