Steven, Good try, but most serious chess players want a board that does not distract from the game. We go out of our way to use boards that are as unobtrusive as possible. Buff and green are the favorite colors for tournaments because they are the easiest on the eyes. I know the last thing I would be interested in is a board covered with pictures. Tiger88

Hi folks. I'm looking for a manual for a chess computer made by Saitek called the Turbo Advanced Trainer. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3142639576&category=2554&rd=1) It came with the training book that you can see in the picture, but this book doesn't really tell what the buttons do. I'm assuming it originally came with a separate users manual of some sort. If...

I have a problem with filtering PGN database in Fritz8. Apparently it's filter is case sensitive. That's O.K. with me, but the problem occurs whenever i want to filter by some name that has no capital letter. Fritz always makes first letter in the name capital so I cannot filter any games with names that are in low case. Any solution? -- Darko Majdiæ

Autoplay? I'm curious what you mean, exactly, and how you arrived at this conclusion. If there is such a thing, I too am curious. On 10 Aug 2003 20:11:34 GMT, (Capt Mac Cracker) wrote: I noticed that some people on Yahoo! Chess are using a program that will

Hi all. I'm building a new web site for my chess club and we are going to store games and problems in a database. I have built a few ASP pages that grab info from the database and activate a viewer with the corresponding game. So far, I experimented with MyChessViewer and ChessTutor.

The Fritz 6 folder that is left behind can be deleted, because there might only be an ini-file in it or something.

I understand that Windows shares files all over the place so I don't just want to blow the folder away. I'm using XP by the way.

I think I may have found a bug in the CM9000 tablebases. I've patched CM9000 to version 1.0.2 and regenerated the tablebases with FEG 3.03c. I have found problems in positions where White can castle like W: Ke1 Ra1 Rh2 B: Ke8 .Here, every legal move for White will win, but when I go under Mentor/Chess Coach, it only reports mate in # for king moves, moves by Ra1 and 0-0-0. For moves by Rh2...
