Hello, Could anyone tell me how progreesive rate is calulated in SWISS System ? With Warm regards Jatinder Singh

Today I received an email advertisement or newsletter from an investment advisor called The Motley Fool. This was probably sent out to many, many thousands of people, as these guys have a very popular Web site. The subject of the ad was, of course, investment advice, but I was a bit surprised by the (almost) extensive discussion of chess, and in particular,

In an article on Page 2 of USA Today on August 3, 2006 about Radio Talk Show host Delilah, it is mentioned that Frank Niro, former Executive Director of the United States Chess Federation, is writing his memoirs. http://www.usatoday.com/life/2006-08-02-night-listener_x.htm The article states: "Some former listeners have become good friends.

In 'Scientific American' (August 2006), Philip E. Ross, a contributing editor, has written an article, 'The Expert Mind' (pp. 64-71), about the nature of chess expertise. Philip E. Ross (2053 USCF) is the father of Laura Ross (2252 USCF). The article was written for a general audience. It presents a summary of research (e.g. Adriaan de Groot's) without making any original claims. I found nothing...

I sent the following in an email to license-violation AT gnu ..DOTT org today. People might like to comment. I have specifically mentioned it is going to the newsgroups, so relevant people will hopefully check these newgroups for comments. -------- Hi, I have good reason to believe there is a breach in the GPL with a chess

I just downloaded Winboard for XP and I can't find where it put the files. I have searched my c: drive for a few of the files and I can't find them. I looked for this information in the FAQ and didn't care to spend 20 min hunting for it. No amount of this information is any good for someone that doesn't have the game installed. You would think this information would be step 1.

In 'New in Chess' (2006/1), Geurt Gijssen has written a letter in order to set the record straight about how the 1993 match between Nana Alexandria and Susan Polgar came to an end. Geurt Gijssen was the match director. The 1993 match was scheduled for eight games, not including the tie-breaking games. After a total of twelve games, Nana Alexandria and Susan Polgar were still tied. According to...

Hi there! Does anybody own or knows at least a book by Shamkovich about "Modern King's Indian Attack"? I saw it in Chess4Less, but there is no info whatsoever besides the price. I would like to know the general info, such as year of publication, number of pages, how many games it has, or anything. Also, if any of you has had relevant experience buying from Chess4less and thinks that I must know...

I've written a small UNIX/Linux shell script that reads from a PGN file containing one or more chess games and adds to the PGN file either: for each game played. So you can search games in a database based on the type of game.

I know playing fast is bad for your overall game but I think it is more fun. Giving more time for more moves seems like the only way to play. It doesn't have to be a fast game.

That's good to see, Kramnik winning. He may not be back to full strength yet, but I'm glad one of the best GMs isn't out for good. The win is a bit diminished by the fact that there were so few rounds and by the absence of Topolov and Anand and other greats, but it was an important one for him. Besides he did have some good competition I think using tiebreaks is the fairest practical way to...

I'm looking for games between Atwood and Verdoni, that are apparently provided in the Oxford Encyclopedia of Chess Games. It would be very much appreciated.

I'm looking for the word that means "a set of chess moves from a particular position". Anybody know the best word to use? "Variation" or "Continuation" seem too specific. I'm looking for a more general term. For example, the term "Variation" can not be used to refer to "a set of chess moves from a particular position" if those moves are part of the main line. So what is the best word to use?
