Another old, but good, database is Chess Assistant 2.0 for DOS. As one today can run DOS programs neatly under WinXP, using DOSBox, this database could be revived. A presentation with screen shots can be found he http://hem.passagen.se/melki9/ca2.htm M. Winther

I felt the need to document this excellent chess database, TascBase 2.1, before it is forgotten. A presentation with screen shots can be found he http://hem.passagen.se/melki9/tasc21.htm Regards, M. Winther

I am looking for information regarding the distribution of N in "mate in N", versus "number of pieces on board" for table-base calculations. Has anyone done this for existing table-bases? Mike

Anybody experience with Fritz10 / Chessbase9 and the new Windows Vista? M.

I have a strange question... I often run chess tournaments among different programs on my computer for fun and also for different analysis opinions in my post-mortem games. But it seems some chess engines have very low search node strengths, and sometimes they vary.... for instance: Deep Junior 10 usually runs at about 670kN per second, but often spikes to 800-1200. Then Rybka 2.2 will run at a...

Ask and you shall recieve.

If they try to get rid of me, I'll sue. I'll take down the entire federation with me. You'll never get rid of me. This is my federation. I've been a member for more than 50 years. I'm the most important person in the USCF. If you don't like me then form your own chess federation. Sam Sloan

Hello all, I have a problem all the way from Fritz 8. I would like to have two PCs play chess on my lan. I have a working lan and working Fritz installations (Fritz10 is patched with gui10.msi). The problem is, it never works. Assuming I've tried almost everything, and assuming all the protocols and services and firewalls are in place and properly configured, wtf? I mean, it's Windows XP,...

I have picked up an old Dell computer with 15 gigs of drive space which will now house all of my chess related software. I have Chessbase and Fritz and have played around with a couple of the Fritz trainer instructional programs with the video tutor feature. A quick check of the shopping sections on the Chessbase website has me curious? How useful are all of the available add ons now...

hi does anybody have a fritz 10?

I'm not a good chess player myself, due to a lack of concentration. It is a real psychical deviation and a handicap for match-playing. But I do like the game, and like seeing chess matches between persons/persons, computers/computers, or persons/computers. Just like horse-owners who have their champs in championships, i would like to play with my PC-chess-computer RATED games against other...

Hi, I run scid on Windows. I entered 4 moves tools export current game export game to Latex file and I saved it as ttt.tex Then, what? What do I have to do from now on?

Marcus is afraid to rant and rave on the USCF forum. He's nothing but a big fat chicken. He doesn't dare to attack me there because he knows that I'll kick his ass. What a coward! Be afraid Marcus! Be very afraid! Sam Sloan

I'm attempting to build our club website, and I wanted to use the java board in CB9 to enable readers to play through some games, but when I try to save games into Frontpage, CB9's java board becomes unplayable? Am I doing something wrong? Are they compatible? HELP!

Where on web can I find some realy free and browiser based interactive chess (like instantchess )? p.s. instantchess is not free Thanks.

Recently I find everything changed at Chess Groups. 1. I do not find list of Groups I recently visited at right corner. 2. When I reply a new Page do not come. 3. Every thing is written in very small font. 4. When replying it do not list all groups in the reply button. That need to be done manually. Is there a way to get back to original Google Groups Style as the new style is not good.

Here is an idea to write 500 to 700 words on your favorite player, chess anecdote or event. The subject needn't be American, and this need not be an encyclopedic entry - but something to show the flavor of the life and times of a chessplayer - or even of a chess idea, as below. After recent criticisms here in these newsgroups - some of which are valid, but some include preferences which do...
