http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpamG7Pv6tU I apologize in advance... But it is the funniest thing ever... (I think it is chess related).

In the fifth game of the Lasker-Capablanca World Championship match (1921), the same position occurs after Black's 34th, 36th and 38th moves but the draw was not claimed and Black went on to lose. Does anyone know why? Winter says that the threefold repetition rule dates back to London 1883 so it seems likely that it applied to this match. Chessgames.com quotes Capablanca's notes on the game...

In its "Quotes" section, it has many quotes from great chess players, along with their photographs and links to more information about each player. You do have to scroll through several other quotes to get to the chess quotes scattered throughout that section. Its "Links" section also has many useful and interesting...

In just the last day since I banned Rob Mitchell from posting to the FIDE-chess Yahoo group, a new entity has joined and quit this group 7 times!!!! It seems likely that this person is the same person as Rob Mitchell. Meanwhile, Rob Mitchell has been filling up all the threads over on rec.games.chess.politics with attacks on me, in much the same way that the Fake Sam Sloan...

Sam Sloan wrote in a Fide newsgroup of which he is moderator that he is to ban Rob Mitchell from posting in it - this follows challenges to Sloans truth about the porn at his site.

Of all the recorded chess games, what is the most ambitious pawn anyone is aware of? For instance, is there a game in the books where the b pawn made 6 captures and promoted on h8? Or maybe it didn't promote, but simply captured far more than the typical amount of material for a pawn? Just a random curiosity on a rainy Thursday evening... Steve

I saw an argument today over a touch-move rule, and I can't find a clear answer. What happened was, it was white's move and white was making a capture. White first picked up the black piece off the board to capture. Then white began moving the white queen to make the capture, but before finishing the move, he changed his mind and wanted to take with a pawn instead. If the touch-move rule is...
