The Kingston Files by Chess One
Recently I wrote of Taylor Kingston's activities in reference to Chesscafe. He replied without any contradiction to what I wrote. His choice of reply was the typical ad hominem means he has adopted. I felt compelled to contradict him for an earlier message on his intent re Larry Evans, according to what he wrote me, which he now /changes/ when writing in public. I have 20-some of his...

Play up a section? by chipschap@gmail.com
I returned to the game as an adult after many many years away. My first tournament was a disaster, as expected, but in the past six months I've played seven more tournaments, and my USCF rating has gone from a horrible 978 to a much better 1376. Not a rating to brag about but a lot better than where I was. So now I'm going to play the North American Open in Las Vegas just for the heck of it...

*******.. by michael adams
Gruppe, --Taylor Kingston & Phillip Innes have proved themselves inconsolable ******s. It is not my brief, or my American cousins _brief_ to toss them out, so to speak as self-regarding turds. It is though, levied on _me_ to adjudicate. Which in time, _I_ am surely gonna do. This makes sure of you. You will no longer have right of call, for example. Your conjugal rights will remain, but you...

Is this a TN in the Mod Benoni? by Chess One
In my other game against the same player i remembered a fischer maneuver, with knight to h5 as black, from his iceland game against spassky, so played that too at move 16. it also offers a pawn, or at least to double pawns on the h file - but seemed indicated here as sufficient diversion to central play - is this also a TN? Should white have accepted it? If so, should white have tried to...

The bitch filed for a divorce by Sam Sloan
My wife has just filed for a divorce claiming that I sexually abused her. The bitch waited until she got her Green Card then she filed. She had no problem doing what I told her to do sexually when she was waiting for her Green Card. Now she claims that I'm a kinky *******. I want full custody of my daughter. Any lawyer here wants to help me pro-bono? Sam Sloan

PROOF a beginner has no rating. by Dave (from the UK)
There have been several arguments on here about determining the rating of an absolute beginner at chess, who knows only the moves. The thread 'Improve your chess in 7 days or less' got its name changed to 'Rip-off of Reinfeld', then into 'beginner rating' etc. Rather than change the name again, I thought I'd start a *new* thread. Values of 0, 500 and 1000 have all been mentioned.

What can $20 buy? by Ray Gordon, creator of the pivot
I want to hire a hooker for my birthday. What can I get for $20? -- Money is not "game." Looks are not "game." Social status or value is not "game." Those are the things that game makes unnecessary. A seduction guru who teaches you that looks, money or status is game is not teaching you "game," but how to be an AFC. He uses his students'

Chess Term by Ian Burton
A friend writes: "Is there a chess term for the following condition or failing? It's something I seem to do a lot. The opponent has an incipient threat (say, a pawn advance that would trap a piece if it didn't have a free square to retreat to). I see it, I make allowances. Next move, the threat is still there, I see it and make allowances. Next move, ditto. This goes on for maybe six...
