This Second in Chess on the True Linares Round 6 by PeteCasso
Gosh, why is the drawing of the lots such that the Clash of the Titans is on a Monday when all normal people are expected to be productive? It is Anand with White against Kasparov with Black. I see Kasparov has the Bishop pair, Anand a free b pawn at move 28, apparently a dynamic equillibrium. Anand's position appears easier to play, but Kasparov may have forgotten what that there is such a word...

Lev Khariton: Chess Editor's Anti-Chess by SveLeo@aol.com
Chess Editor's Anti-Chess By Lev Khariton Although being sometimes unnecessarily voluble, this time I have really to keep mum.But I can't! Just look at these words I found in the September, 2004 issue of"Chess Life", the US leading chess magazine for decades: "Fischer must be brought back to the center of American life. He must

TSIC This Second in Chess by PeteCasso
Adams v Leko draw in 18: Hit them hard with your big stick Senor Rentero! Anand v Topalov: Black could not really equalize in a Najdorf Sicilian and White is now a pawn up in a 2R+B v 2R+K endgame, but Black has the initiative for the pawn, extremely interesting endgame! Kasparov won the exchange for a pawn, but Kasimdzhanov is going for a move repetition right now at move 28, use your...

TSIC This Second in Chess on Linares Round 6 by PeteCasso
Kaparov and Adams blitzed to an endgame at move 20, can't even guess from the position what the opening was, will figure out later, but anyway, both castled long and Kasparov is about to win a pawn in a Q+R ending, but where Adams has a lead in development (Rook is out) and hence the initiative. But Kasparove may be able to convert nevertheless! Go, K, go! Anand with Black is being squeezed by...

TSIC This Second in Chess on FIDE's Ultimatum by PeteCasso
Today is the deadline of FIDE's ultimatum on unification, if Kasparov does not participate in unification, then somebody else will play. I guess Kirsan goes by a marriage custom in Kalmykia, if the bride or groom does not show up on wedding day, then she or he simply gets replaced by somebody else.

SUSAN POLGAR -- a wonderful grandmaster and person by Wlodzimierz Holsztynski (wlod)
I just can't stand the horrible threads about one of so few true chess heros. And the idiots who badmouth GM. S.P. are beneath contempt. All chess enthusiast know about the sport achievements and so needed chess activities of GM Susan Polgar. Her place in chess history is well established. I don't even need to

Desperate Times at US Chess Live by Gunsberg
Not a surprise. Chess Live failed to get critical mass, and is dying on the vine. Really, the chess server niche is rather small, and ICC has become the Wal-Mart that monopolizes business. I won't be sad to see Chess Live fold, if it does. From accounts that I've read, it exploited both the USCF membership, AND the USCF itself. Players may join up with chess servers that compete with ICC,...

Will Anand ever be #1? by g_chime@yahoo.com
It seems that his only chance is NOW; Kasparov is slowly declining and Leko is steadily improving. Anand might become #1 for a short time in between those two.
