My kid has CM 9000 and was looking at some classic games that come with it. I'm not sure if the options are set up correctly, but there is only a brief comment shown on each game as opposed to analysis of every move (as I've seen in most good chess books). Is this available in CM or do we need to get some other game package? Thanks Mark

Hi all, I am trying to write an efficient routine to determine whether the king is in check. Any ideas you know of are welcome. I am using the 0x88 board representation. My current method is to loop over the opponents pieces and use the difference between the king square the the piece square as an index into an array that tells me if the piece could attack the king from that square. Then...

So, I see that Deep Shredder 9 and 10 are available as 64-bit UCI engines . Has anybody tried these and has there been any notable performance increase? Thanks in advance. -- Thomas T. Veldhouse Key Fingerprint: D281 77A5 63EE 82C5 5E68 00E4 7868 0ADC 4EFB 39F0

Hello, I am the site admin for http://www.chessmaniac.com We are looking to hire GMs FMs or IMs to play one game on this site. While playing it these players would be required to post comments on the game in progress in the forums for all users to read. Also, they would be required to respond to the users questions about the game. After the game has been completed both players would be required...

Does anyone know how one can save a game in someone history on ICC to a PGN file by telnetting to the server, rather than using Blitzin? I can log in and see the history of user 'foo' (yes, there is a foo, but not a foobar!) aics% his foo Recent games of foo:

I've worked my ass off for the past 10 days so I could have a day and a half to prepare for the Liberty Bell Open, which begins tomorrow night. Here's how I spent 10 hours today. * Opened the box for a printer I purchased from Amazon for the express purpose of printing chess-instructional index cards. Installed the software but discovered no ink cartridge was included. Went to Staples but...

They're trying to frame me by making all the candidates sign a code of conducts. I won't sign anything. I've never been convicted of any crime. I have the most experience and I'm also the most famous chess player. I deserve 4 more years. Hal Bogner and Leroy Dubeck will campaign for me. Sam Sloan

I'm looking for the PGN file for the 1970 Rovinj-Zagreb "Tournament of Peace". Any pictures of this tournament would be helpful as well, but the PGN file is the important thing. Thank You, Morphy

Should I go for hardware based or software based? On http://www.bcmchess.co.uk/bcmsoft.html there is some software that seems to be fairly well respected (fritz and shredder), but I see there are also some very nice chess computers : http://www.bcmchess.co.uk/bcmcomp.html. I do have a laptop so for me it's all about pro's and con's. Also although I'd like to primarily just play I'd also be...

I have a new chess server up and running, and a BBS message board. http://www.chessgambits.org/

That would be a good tournament .... Maybe 4 games each vs each other..

Sam, Please try not to include me in your postings, unless it's necessary. I think that postings like this one contribute to the polarization of the USCF's leadership; I want not part on it. I asked you not to say anything about the 'under the table situation." You did not respect my wishes, and then apologized for it. I appreciate the apology, but this does not give you a green light to...

I would like to make a proposal, and discover your interest in two forms of Human v Machine matches - since I am sometimes approached by both sides to investigate possibilities. In conversations elsewhere there are discussions of fairness, so I propose two options; a) Human plus database, vs Computer b) Human vs Computers Simul.

I've put a new release on the Sourceforge web site. There is both source code and a Windows executable. I've put them in a package called 'unstable-for-testing' since I have not fully debugged this release. It is a *lot* better than the alpha one I released a week or so ago,. Get it from: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=184864

Anybody know a source for extra (different) modules for the Mephisto Exclusive chess computer? Right now, I have the Senator module...I've heard of some others like Polgar, but cant seem to locate them anywhere. TIA!

I write a software about make money online. (surfingcash 2.0) It can manage these websites that you joined. It provide a browser that view website. Idon't know how much people are interested it. Did you can give my some advice! Thanks! http://www.surfcashsoft.com/download.html

The board took a vote about my suspension and I made the wrong vote because I heard the question wrong. It turned out that I was the only one who voted to suspend myself. I'm very ****ed that Nolan is telling everyone about my vote. It's just a dumb mistake. Sam Sloan

I have now uploaded a new version with more variable play, better opening play, better alternative ascii board (looks best in full screen mode on older windows versions). There is no better brain gymnastics than blindfold chess. http://hem.passagen.se/melki9/blindc.htm /Mats

Has any one played it before ? What is it's ELO ?

You hear it here first. Goichberg and Schultz promised Shahade this position in exchange for Greg's vote. It will be finalized later this year. Sam Sloan
