The Russian website http://www.64.ru/?/ru/articles/item=1394 has a million photos (well, almost) of the recent Tal Memorial Blitz Tournament. One photo of particular interest is that of Svidler with his middle finger held high. There are no captions, and I do not recognize his opponent. Though we don't see the whole board, Svidler appears to be winning a rook. Was he made to play out a...

I enjoy studying the personalities of old chess players. Lately, I have been looking at random groups of 19th century amateur chess players, and have been surprised at how often these groups include fascinating individuals. So far, I have looked at players in an early Cambridge team, an early Washington team, and an early US intercollege team, and in all cases found that some of the players went...

I just finished reading Jerry Hanken's article in the November Chess Life discussing the MonRoi electronic device. The article is pretty much a puff, glossing over some of the real and potential problems to which the widespread use of this device may give rise. Hanken waxes that "...another convenient feature of MonRoi is its ability to project positions not only on the Internet, but also to...

They are coming... ....computers are with the ability to think 20 moves ahead isn't all it is cracked up to be. Get ready for terms like "White has a molecular advantage," or "The endgame appears won in 39-40 moves." Also get ready for "White's novelty with 46. g8=N has flipped the opinion of this opening line," or "Black invigorates an old opening

In the following four-mover, White has a pawn on the 7th, and the composer's keymove is to underpromote: 1. d8R. Incredibly, promoting instead to a queen cooks the problem!
