Today, Rob Mitchell called USCF Executive Director Bill Hall to advise and recommend that he retain counsel to file suit against Sam Sloan for revealing that Bill Hall has often been absent from work. It is not likely that Bill Hall will take this advice because such a suit would be without legal basis since the members have a right to know and therefore Sam Sloan has an obligation to reveal...

Joe Lux has uncovered a serious problem with Monroi. If he did not discover it, he is the first to report it. It seems that two newspapers have refused to publish game scores that first appeared on the Monroi website, because MonRoi is claiming a copyright on the games. It is well established that scores of a chess game cannot be copyrighted. However, the USCF is in no position to go to court...

In today's NY Times, you can read the article at http://www.nytimes.com, there's an article about Shawn Martinez who plays at expert level and technically is a student at Edward R. Murrow High School. He is failing all his classes, he should not be on the chess team.

I'm in love with this blog 3 http://theriseandshinegoodknight.blogspot.com/

I read the profiles in the recent monthly issue of CL. I like Sam Sloan and that guy from San Francisco that has done all those cool things and he like has roomates with 3 chess players. also that guy who has a phd and a law degree seemed really cool too. he seemed like he was really smart and we need smart leaders in charge of the uscf. the other statements were really boring meaning that...

What's happened to Mikey Adams? Has he withdrawn from chess? He is conspiculously absent from major tournamants for the last 3/4 months. Inquiring minds would like to know.

Recently my Fritz 10 interface was changed. I cant click most of the buttons like ELO, rank info etc. Same in Fritz 9. Maybe my serial is old? Can I fix that by registering new account?

How can you update Fritz10 without going on the ChessBase game site and getting the message your Fritz10 is updated, which it obviously isn't? ChessBase update procedures are very annoying and customer unfriendly. Any Suggestions?

When did the 3-fold repetition and 50-move rule come about? The 1954 Reinfeld book "How to be a winner at chess" gives perpetual check, but not these two rules. Of course, with 3-fold rule, the perpetual check rule is not needed (also you don't have to judge whether or not a position is perpetual check). The 1970 book by Harkness has these two rules, but not perpetual check. So did they...

I used to play against a Novag Solo Chess computer as a kid. It's ELO rating was estimated at 1300. I beat it on its hardest setting, so I sold it. The plan was to get a stronger one but I never did (not having much money!). That was almost 20 years ago! So anyway I decided just recently that I really used to enjoy a good old game of chess. So..... I downloaded Crafty and I'm ready to go...

Hi. I want to get some cheap analysis sets for my students. I see fairly cheap ones on the Chess House site (7.95 or 5.95 if more than 10) Cajun Chess used to sell the boards & pieces but now only sells the boards. Any help on where to find these cheap?

Interesting chess blog. Is it possible to become a rated master starting at 38 years old? http://chessloser.wordpress.com/

There is a most bizarre contradiction in the way professional results are discussed in the chess community. Almost everyone prefers decisive games to draws, and, of course, draws are rarely included in the highlights of an event. However, whenever there is a tie for first (like at Corus), the undefeated player is singled out for particular media praise -- more than those with the same score who...
