Hello, You all know about nice features in Chessbase as they are regularry announced on their homepage. One of them is the position explainer. Here is a nice screenshot of how "usefull" this feature is: http://www.playwitharena.com/common/pic/stellungserklaerer.jpg (In German it says, white has a constricted position...) hmm really ?

I am in the process of reprinting "Manual of the Game of Chess by P.R. von Bilguer", 1880 Edition, better known by its German title, Handbuch des Schachspiels von P. R. von Bilguer. This book is extremely rare. I happened to come across a copy in good condition. I have been unable to find another one, and I have searched everywhere. This book is the equivalent of Modern Chess Openings, but for...

In below game against Rybka, The GetClub lost its knight for a Pawn. Normal Level, Played 11..... Ng3 But that was the only good move. I went back to see 8.... Nxe4 is this move wrong? If above move is correct I move back further 6.... Bc5 is This move by Normal Level Correct?

Bill: It has come to my attention that there is a proposal that would reduce the number of copies of Chess Life distributed to the membership. Although I appreciate the board's desire to cut expenses in these trying economic times, this idea is a bad one for several reasons. Without the magazine arriving each month, any stimulus for members to become more active, participate in chess events,...

Bill Goichberg states that his "New Plan", which will drastically reduce the number of copies of Chess Life and Chess Life 4 Kids magazines being distributed to the members and may...

Hello, Please help us implement this rule draw rule in Arena too. We promise Arena will be free of charge, even with this new future... http://www.playwitharena.com/common/pic/draw.gif And they want money for this crap. No reaction by support by the way... So what is this rule about ?

It was a frequent occurrence that when I would post something on the USCF Issues Forum, the Fake Sam Sloan would make some minor changes in the wording and post almost the same thing over on rec.games.chess.politics Often this would happen within ten or fifteen minutes of my initial posting, which proved that the Fake Sam Sloan was logged into the USCF Issues Forum almost all the time. This...

Disaster Coming: Here is the new dues structure as proposed in a motion by Bill Goichberg. Please read this carefully. Please note that Regular Members NO LONGER RECEIVE CHESS LIFE MAGAZINE. LIFE MEMBERS NO LONGER RECEIVE CHESS LIFE UNLESS THEY SPECIFICALLY REQUEST IT. Also, NO MORE LIFE MEMBERSHIPS WILL BE SOLD. The USCF, as we know it, will not survive these changes:

The problem is that you are complaining about a dues structure that you, Bill Goichberg, created. Every year you have come to the delegates meeting with a proposal for a new dues structure, and in general the delegates have approved your proposals. Even when the delegates have not approved your proposals, you have pushed them through the board as "promotions". Now, you are saying that your dues...

Someone suggested in another thread that in order to have a top engine you need to be secretive about what you re programming. This implies that the engine at the top of the SSDF rating list (let's say) will from now on typically be a commercial engine. What I'm wondering is, is it possible to organize an open source project with enough good talent to make a competitive "free" engine...

Apparently few in the outside world realize that one of the features in Bill Goichberg's "new plan" is that, in additional to making Chess Life optional, the USCF will no longer mail membership cards to the members. This means that the members will receive absolutely nothing at all in return of paying their dues. Here is what Goicherg's new plan states:

Today I tried a new game between Normal Level (100 seconds/move) & Rybka (5 seconds / move) And the Game was Drawn by Repetitive moves. Yesterday I said GetClub is 20 times weaker than Rybka, Since Normal Level which thinks 16 times more than Rybka at 5 seconds / move plays as good as Rybka. I showed a game where the game was nearly equal but later Rybka was able to break the defence and win in...

ADMs by Sam Sloan for the USCF Delegates Meeting in Dallas: 1. WHEREAS the USCF has lost money every year since 2005 and WHEREAS neither the Board nor the Executive Director have been willing to take the obvious measures needed to stop these horrific losses therefore, it is hereby RESOLVED that the Executive Director is dismissed effective

Zebediah used to win the Advance level in 30 moves earlier. But as the game was improved by Help Bot Suggestions, I find that last 2 games Zebediiah is taking more than 40 moves to win the game. And in todays game he needed 47 moves to win. So a clear sight of improvement for GetClub Chess is seen. Zebediah use some very strong computer to beat the Advance Level. Advance level thinks for 30 min...

Zebediah played one of the most interesting game against Advance Level. I was thinking now Zebediah will get real competition. But Zebediah played such interesting moves and win that everyone will be surprised to see. Zebediah first sacrificed its Rook for a pawn for no reasion. Then after a few moves he Sacrificed His Bishop for a Pawn.

I do ... In this game , ivan vs GC , i was thinking if i had another ivan would both ivan's make the same exact moves in this game or would one computer make a different move some where along the line ? If i had two of them id take that test.....
