Why was Louis Watson Ranked the Number 4 Bridge Player in the World? by samsloan
I keep reading that in 1934 Louis H. Watson was ranked the number 4 bridge player in the world. He died tragically in 1936 at age 29. Why was he ranked number 4 ? Who were numbers 1, 2 and 3 ?? I have searched newspaper reports from 1932-1934 and it seems that Watson was winning almost everything. The one time that his team finished only second, it was attributed to a series of highly

Help Bots new idea tickeled. by Sanny
Help bot suggested about the blockade strategy it helped GetClub play much stronger games now. I played two games with Beginner vs Rybka and found even Rybka is not able to get ahead and finish GetClub like it used to earlier. It is taking longer for Rybka to win against the Beginner Level. As Beginner is not allowing Rybka to take its pieces easily. The Games are ending with +10 Moves.

Trusting the Executive Director by samsloan
If you have an Executive Director who is utterly worthless, or who does not tell the board what he is doing or who often lies about what he has done, then you have a situation where the ED cannot be trusted with such critical decisions as the hiring or firing of the Editor of Chess Life. The USCF has lost more than two million dollars since 1999 and is losing $300,000 more so far this year. None...

Anti-Semitism on FICS (Free Internet Chess Server) by Israel Silverman
On the internet, no one knows if you're a dog. But some people care if you are Jewish. And anti-semitism is alive and well, in places you'd hardly expect to find it. I play chess on various online services. There is ICS, the internet chess club. There is also a free internet chess server, called FICS. FICS has always been a nice place to visit, play a few games. The administration prides...

Alternative time clock scheme by Guy Macon
I am not saying this is a good idea as it stands, but rather I am throwing it out there as a thought experiment to see if someone comes up with a better variation. For comparison, let's start with a 40/120, D/60 time control with a USCF-Style delay of 5 seconds. Replace the USCF-style the delay with a Fischer increment (meaning 5 seconds are added to your clock when you hit

Has there even been a chess game that has been played twice ? by SAT W-7
Has there ever been a chess game that has had the exact same moves ever been recorded ? Understand that question ? Lets say two players play a 47 move game or 50 move or 36 move game , has that game ever been played by two other people ? In all the recorded games that you have in a computer data basse has there ever been two games with the same moves for the whole game?

Beware of Rob ("The Robber") Mitchell by samsloan
I am posting this here just to warn the occasional passers-by to ignore the postings by Rob ("The Robber") Mitchell. Rob (The Robber") Mitchell is not a chess player. He has never played a rated game. He is not a member of the USCF. He really has no connection with chess. He joined the USCF for just one year in 2004. That was just so that he could apply for a job with the USCF. He applied first...
