Here's the deal, the skinny: I took the program (see post below) and fixed the "Invite" feature So now one can invite a pal and an email with the url a temp username and a pass will be sent to that person automatically. And THAT was a pain in the ass! dns, domain names, php functions and on and on. I got the stats function to work; it was locking up my server, stuck in an endless loop.

I seem to be a perpetual novice. I learned chess over forty years ago, and I've studied books on it and admired the game all this time. But I haven't practiced enough to become what I'd consider a decent player (an intermediate-level player, I guess). Practice is obviously what I need. But how to go about it exactly? First off, I don't play against people. I know that may sound weird, but...

Bush: "Iran like Kramnik is in toilet all the time!"

Awhile back, someone told me how to change the ini file, I think, with CM9000, so it would skip the opening music and video screen and cut right to the chase. But I reinstalled it and lost those changes. Can someone please post it again? Also, is there a way to actually open it righ up to the game room and a new game, without going through all the other entry screens? -- - Mama Bear

When I play a rated game for some reason I'm able see the entire move list. Is there a window I'm missing. And then after the game and analysis I don't see how to go through each move? Any suggestions? Thanks

At one point I heard that ChessMaster 10th edition was supposed to be the last version. Is this true? It's such a great product that I'm hoping they continue with the product. Chris

Amazingly no next game date is announced at http://www.worldchess2006.com/main.asp?id=918

Some time back I bought some chess software called Pocket Fritz 2 developed a company called Chessbase in Germany. http://www.chessbase.com/shop/product.asp?pid=152 I purchased it in England. This runs on a handhold personal digital assistant (PDA). As you might guess, the software can play you a game of chess. But it should be able to do more than just this. The web page describing the...

Is this not possible? In 'rated game' mode, it wants to always give me white. Pressing space bar has no effect.

This was answered a few years ago, but I can't remember how. John, you there? Anybody? Wilma

The 1994 PGN specification is immense, filled with information unrelated to the implementation of the standard. As a step towards writing my own program to import and export PGN data, I took some time to strip it down to the essentials. In case anyone wants to comment on it (or, better yet, use it), the PDF is available on my site. TeX sources are also available to those...

Is there an easy way to print chess diagrams, for example on plain paper or index cards? I would like to create a cheat-sheet stack to review before important games. It would be great if this software allowed commentary as well. Angelo

Hello ! Does Rybka 2.1 UCI work in ChessBase Light ? I guess it's no, and it's a pity, because I really like CB Light :-) Thank you for your help -

I'm still muzzled by Channing, Schultz and Goichberg. They don't want you to know the explosive stuff behind the scene. I just hope we'll have enough cash flow to survive until the end of the year. That's all I can say. Ismail Sloan

You may ask: Why do I call Kirsan "My Dear Friend" when he said that I'm a bum in the past? I have always been one who runs to the aid of any person who has been wrongfully accused. Therefore, when rumors started to fly that Kirsan Ilyumzhinov had personally ordered the murder of journalist Miss Larisa Yudina, I realized that Kirsan was my dear friend after all. He didn't do it. She committed...
