Is there a way to get the video as a download? Yes Sam, you should definitely place somewhere your lesson cause I managed to watch only several last minutes of it and Japanese chess sounds exciting ;-)

Could you please outline the primary differences in strategy when playing white or black? Also which color has more chances of wining?

Dear Chess Friends- Hurricanes, Hurricanes and Hurricanes..... Katrina and Rita, they might put us on back feet, since we live in East Texas. But they couldn't stopped our efforts to publish one of the great "online magazine" the "Chess Chronicle" The next two issues going to be a "World Championship Special". This features annotated games by some of the leading grandmasters and

Sorry to break in on the Sam Sloan/Bill Brock and/or Larry Parr/Eric Schiller debacles, but here is something of a different nature. I am sadly faced with a large number of classic chess books that I will not read or refer to again, because of a big change in my life. Some of them are rare first edition hardcover books. I have managed to list most of them on half.com (search for me,...

Does anyone here use CM 10th edition? If you do, with the tutorials, can you save your place in them? I have 9000 and if I get halfway through a tutorial ( for example screen 175 out of 275 ) and have to shut the computer down, I lose my place, there's no apparent way to save your place in the tutorials. Can you at least save your place in the tutorials in 10th edition?

Just started a group to discuss classic games like backgammon, checkers (draughts), chess, cribbage, and dominoes. If you enjoy such games and care to talk (or read) about them as well as play them, please visit: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/timelessfavorites/ --Patrick

DESPICABLE Taylor Kingston convinced readers not to buy the books by Eric Schiller, Raymond Keene, Larry Evans and Larry Parr. Had they known that Taylor Kingston was only a 1811 player, they would have paid no attention to his book reviews and more importantly no publisher would have been willing to publish them. I think that because of this lie, Taylor Kingston should be sued, prosecuted,...

People keep telling me that I should meet them on FICS for a game but I can't stand the interfaces they have for it. Is anyone ever gonna come out with one that has graphics as good as the top board view using the mohogany set in CM9000? I wonder why someone hasn't developed one with actual top view photos of a tournament set? --

I think I found an odd bug in CM9000. I can beat all the opponents with a 1200 rating except Krycec. When I play him, the program seems to jump in rating and beats me all the time. While it does that, I also notice that I can't use the Ctrl-F to force moves sometimes, it's like the program hangs in some weird ways. -- - Mama Bear

Does anyone here like Wild 5? It's my favorite variant, but it's hard to find decent games.

Capablanca beat Kostich 5-0 in a match in 1919. Does anyone have the score of all 5 games? I have 4 bt one is only partial - it's 15 moves. At one point Capabanca thought he played his best chess in thia match. -- Work like the ponies in coalmines. Dance like the teardrop explodes. Love like you're Frank in Blue Velvet.

http://www.scgchess.org/english.html Web site Serbia and Montenegro Chess Federation with information about European Youth Championship has more than 11.000 visitors daily! It's obviously very attractive. Take a look! Only 11 visitors, what a shame :D An excerpt from regulations : "All the players and their coachs are obligated to loadge in hotels

FRESH AIR Amazing what one gets done when not distracted by petty squabbles. So, I have decided to take an indefinite break from rgcp. Too many better things to do than argue all day with the likes of Parr, Sloan, Tomic et al...So, I am going to get some fresh air.. Taylor Kingston I told you so. As I noted in several messages, NM Taylor Kingston, the 1800-rated but self-proclaimed 2300+ ELO...

Anyone have some links where .ctg files can be downloaded? I found several good sites by google search, but there must be more than I found out there somewhere.

Doesn't anyone know the chess problem that Sarnac (head of the Princeton math dept) "devoted seven hours to solving" as described in Chap 14 of J.C. Hall's book 2003 book, The Chess Artist? Thanks
