Those are *physical* sports, dominated by lunys who pick
sides based on nothing more than chance geography.


Here's the scoop: these newsgroups are in English, and
dominated in terms of numbers by Americans, who just can't
stomach the fact that chess is bigger and better on the
other side of the pond. Most of these guys are living in the
distant past -- in the Cold War era when Bobby Fischer was
world champion. There is a breech with reality, and it won't
get patched until, one by one, these lunys die off and are
replaced by younger chess fans. (This is why my plan is to
simply outlive all of you idiots.)

This newsgroup is now the "All Sloan All the Time" news channel. It
involves a form of chess that doesn't use pieces, or opening books,
but a lot of slinging of words and status reports on the dirt of
chess. This is the type of chess you have found.

Just like people make strategy in Chess. Here the Players are playing
Chess.

Here The Queen is Sam Sloan
Knight is Help Bot
Rook is Mr Parr
And we all are Pawns fighting with each other.

After a long time a lot of impromvements were done. Now GetClub Chess
will play better moves.

Play Chess at: http://www.getclub.com/Chess.html

Beginner: 10-20 [Plays Good]
Easy: 40-60 seconds / move [Quite Strong]
Normal: 2-4 min/move [Very Strong]
Master: 5-10 min/move [Tougher than Before.]

Play a few games and let me know whether you find the improvements
good or not.

Bye
Sanny

Usenet is dead. Go to a good PHP chess board and you'll find real
discussions of the game itself. I recommend chessforums.org,
chess.com, and chessdiscussion.com. That last one is owned by chess
politicians, so there are political discussions, but only in certain
subforums.
