I discovered a great new thining board game called InfiniTTT or Infinite Tic Tac Toe. This is essentially Tic Tac Toe played on a near infinite grid. 5 in a row wins. The maxim - "A minute to learn. A lifetime to master" although stolen from Reversi is really true for this game. Actually it should take less than a minute to learn since we all know how to play the classic tic tac toe. The windows...

The recent posts on Vera Menchik's death bring up the issue of which prominent chess players have died in the strangest ways. Some at least somewhat unusual deaths that I know of Mrs. Stevenson, prominent British player, killed by an airplane propellor Gilberg, suffocated on his pillow St Amant, fell out of his carriage

As someone who has relinquished control over his own time even on weekends, I came in even later than on weekdays, oy! I am at move 22 of Kasparov v Vallejo Pons, the position looks like to have developed from a d4 opening with a White fianchetto, Black has pretty well equalized. Adams appears to be spinning his web against Kasimdzhanov having inflicted a Black double pawn on the e-file, but oy...

I plan to hire a chess-trainer on ICC or playchess.com and would like to know your experience with such a kind of training. Did it work for you and how much did you pay ? I thought of 20-30 dollars or euro per hour. I am 32 with a Fide-rating of 2220 and my aim is to reach the level of a Fide-Master, what means more than 2300. Anyone there whoever made such an improvement by onlinetraining? Thank...

Can anyone post a URL for live viewing of games at Linares? I can't seem to find one by following the links at TWIC. Thanks.

I recently played a game where my opponent, just at the point where I began to turn the game around in my favor (after recovering from an early error), took nearly 10 minutes to move, but instead of moving, or resigning, or communicating, or responding to communication, he, she, or it simply "stood up" ("left the table"). This should have resulted in a default win for me, inasmuch as it was a de...

The latest news is that while the Icelandic embassy in Tokyo holdsF Fischer's Icelandic passport, the Japanese authorities have cut off all of his contacts with the outside world, including with lawyers, the media, and visitors. Two days ago they also prevented him meeting with Icelandic officials. Let us hope that a handover to US captors is not imminent. Press release from the Committee to...

Just in time to watch a possible zeitnot drama in Kasimdzhanov v Kasparov, White has only 8 minutes left to time control, Black 71 minutes, looks like one reason why Black invested an exchange for a pawn, or is it homework on Black's part? Black has 'nothing' in the position, so he has to make it as time consuming as possible for White to find the right moves.

Jennifer Shahade's book on women in chess has been said to be published by Siles Press in 2004. No trace of it can be found, though -- does anyone know if it's still on, or if it has been canceled? -- Anders Thulin ath*algonet.se http://www.algonet.se/~ath

I'm looking at Kasparov v Leko starting at move 22. Kasparov apparently has a significant edge in that Leko has two backward pawns at d6 and f6, more space, and the more active pieces, e.g. Leko can't easily develop his Ng8, the White Bh4 pinning f6 with the Black Qe7 and Re8 behind it. White has a doubled pawn on the c-file, and still has to develop his Ra1, but he can flexibly use it to fire...
