Strongest? by
jkh001@aim.com
"Alekhine's Parrot" (that quacking fowl Phil Innes) writes at the
_Chessville Weekly_:
"Coming up later this Year – Strongest ever US Tournament.
"September 19th to 28th sees a Category 15 tournament on US
soil in the 10 player SPICE CUP. Seven of the 10 invitees have
already signed up, and I understand average Elo is currently 2600."

US Championships by
Chess One[_2_]
I would like to praise Jan Newton, of Goddess Chess, for once again
providing a prize for 'best fighting game' in the Women's competition of the
US Championships. I understand that an anonymous donation has been added
this year to boost the fund.
Good on you Jan, for initiating this effort, and for those who added to it.
Cordially, Phil Innes

Goichberg's "New Plan" for the USCF by
samsloan
Bill Goichberg has been circulating a "new plan". Essentially, his new
plan calls for a reinstatement of the "no magazine membership".
Regular dues for those who want the magazine will be $42. Those who do
not want the magazine will only have to pay $29.
In the fiscal year ending May 30, 2008, three weeks from today, the
USCF will have lost $300,000.
Bill Goichberg seems to think that this...

Domination by
zdrakec
Hello all:
I have seen (and alas, I do not recall where) the statement, "I
dominate them all!", attributed to Alekhine. Does an actual citation
that can be trusted exist? If so, where, when, and in what context did
the champion make this remark?
Regards,
zdrakec

Paul Morphy (Funny Spoof on 1858 European Travels) by
RookHouse
I came across this humorous article from an old Harper’s Weekly
newspaper. It portrays Paul Morphy as “Jack the Giant-Killer” and
gives a spoof on his adventures in Europe in 1858.

Thanks,

INFECTED BY VIRUS
I can send messages but I can't get them.
A virus apparently has wiped out all of my files as well as all of my
saved e-mails.
I intend to answer Taylor Kingston's questions about WW1 and
respectfully request him to resend them ONLY AFTER I advise everyone
that my computer has been repaired.

The Match That Wasn't by
parrthenon@cs.com
THE BOBBY FISCHER THAT WE LOVED by GM Larry Evans (Chess Life, March
2008)
During the time when bogus rationales were discussed
at length in a vain attempt to "justify" the multitude of
Fischer demands, Larry Evans wrote a nice piece
pointing out that they were not fair, and Chess Lies
published it. That was too much "sunlight" for Mr.
Fischer to handle. -- Greg Kennedy

M-Tel by
Chess One[_2_]
There are already more upsets and surprises than is usual in any group of
2700+ Super GMs: The first two rounds saw 1 win by White but 3 from Black.
Here is the latest //Phil Innes
-----------
Bu blundered and got a lost position against Ivanchuk after only 8 moves!!
The game went on to move 32 but it was basically lost after White's 9.Bxb5+.
GM Ivanchuk (2740) - GM Bu Xiangzhi (2708)

Polgar is right for once by

Polgar is right for once
As everybody knows, I have been extremely critical of Paul Truong and
Susan Polgar. However, a posting by Polgar that became public today is
so obviously correct that I need to point that out.
In an online debate with Bill Goichberg, in a message dated 5/6/2008

A Problem Labeled Morphy by
jeremy.p.spinrad@vanderbilt.edu
I know that Paul Morphy, as far as we know, composed only one problem.
Sissa 1864 pg 371, available via google books
http://books.google.com/books?id=1ioCAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA337&dq=sissa+ridder#PPA371,M1
gives a problem listed as by Paul Morphy. It certainly looks like a
problem rather than a game position. I figure this is a mislabeling,
most likely a problem dedicated to Paul Morphy rather than by...

Sanny
Despite playing so good game GetClub was unable to stop TuringEngine
bring its Queen.
Normal Level which thinks for 1-2 min was unable to win.
There were lot of tactics in this game GetClub managed to bring equal
position. But in the end TuringEngine advanced its pawns and get
Queen.

Zebediah win against the Advance Level, Please Analyze? by
Sanny
A week back Zebediah used to win in 20-30 moves but now the GetClubs
game was a bit improved now Zebediah takes 35 moves to win against the
Advance Level.
If you can spot any mistake in GetClubs game I can improve it further.
Please see the game and let me know which were the moves that were
wrong.
Advance Level thinks for 30 min/ move So it is very difficult for me

The Future of Chess and Getting It "Unstuck" (potential heresy forFIDE chess purists) by
richardhutnik@gmail.com
This is a philosophical piece for the most part meant to give thought
to where things can head, and why. I will acknowledge that this is
potentially heresy to those who live and die FIDE chess and consider
it handed down from the divine as some immutable set of rules that is
meant to last FOREVER. It is a piece to ponder, refute, consider
insane, or thought of value. I am not going to lay out...
