It takes two to tango. If Kasparov is the greatest ever, as widely believed, then Karpov must have also been good to draw him and play so close (see the excellent Seiriwan book "Five Crowns"). Best ever: 1. Kasparov 2. Fischer 3. Capablanca

We have started to play chess at my local pub. In a game last night I put my oponent in check. He then moved his queen to put me in check whilst he was still in a check position and claimed this was legal. I have looked through the rules of chess and the Fide 3.9 rule states "no piece can be moved that will expose it'sown king to check or leave it's own king in check". My interpretation is...

According to the crawl on Headline News, there is a cheese championship in Milwaukee today with a thousand entries. I didn't catch whether it was a U.S. Chsmpionship or otherwise. Does someone know? (If you think this is off topic, I must respond that I once did a search on "chess" and got responses on "cheese." So there.) David Ames

HOW TO TURN $6 INTO $6,000!!!!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, Yeah right, this must be a scam,but...

Latest news, Tuesday 15 March 2005 1) After meeting at 2.30 pm today, the Tokyo District Court said it will likely rule by next week on Bobby Fischer's habeas corpus application in which his lawyers demanded his release. 2) Also today, Kazuya Shimba, member of the House of Councillors for the Democratic Party, questioned Foreign Minister Nobutaka Machimura and Justice Ministry officials in a...

While looking at the FIDE website to check the exact laws of chess for another posting here, I noticed the following oddity. The image http://www.fide.com/img/fbanners/spin.gif appears in several places on the FIDE website. It consists of a rotating globe and a picture of a knight. But look more closely. In the initial position, you see part of the globe. After one full rotation of the

Sure, I start training again and Garry bails out on me, just as I was beginning to prepare to dethrone him in ten years. Wuss. He's whining about all the WORK he has to do to stay on top. Sounds almost like anyone can jump in at any age now if they are willing to do the work, since all the theory is updated so rapidly. Poor Garry, so distracted and lazy. As the hardest working chessplayer...

I'm afraid the following is a very bad article, for two reasons. First, the title is not true. The Japanese government has not said that it "will" deport Fischer to the US. (One might suggest that US embassy media guys have been doing a bit of work in the past few hours). Second, it is not clear whether the Japanese Immigration Bureau is contradicting itself, or the journalist who wrote the...
