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

Here are some puzzles taken from the chess games of strong players at the Aeroflot tournament in February. Except where noted, it's "White to Move and Win". a) http://wtharvey.com/m2005a.png Vladimir Malakhov vs Alexander Areshchenko, Aeroflot, 2005 3rkb1r/pp1n1ppp/4p3/1Q2p2q/3R4/5N1P/PPP2PP1/R1B3K1 w - - 0 1 b) http://wtharvey.com/m2005b.png Pavel Eljanov vs Wang Yue, Aeroflot, 2005...

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...

GM Andor Lilienthal was born 1911. Is he alive? manuel

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...

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.

I do not know any ladies who plays Chess... I only have one friend who plays Chess... Do you have any lady friends who play ???? Just curious

This list of players with Morphy 1 is based on all his known games (See Tim Krabbe's page: http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/ChessTutor/morphy.htm ) and the index of opponents at http://batgirl.atspace.com/contenders.html. Both sources make an extensive use of Philip Sergeant's book "Morphy's Games of Chess" (1916, 1930). Anderssen, Adolf (1818-1879) Arnous de Rivière, Jules (1830-1905) Arnold

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

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,...

Hi.. hopefully this hasn't been answered already.. I didn't see it when searching for chessbase light., so here goes. Obviously using chessbase light.. I read its supposed to store up to 8000 games into a database. I have a database created, but its at 136 Games, and it won't let me add anymore? On the bottom status bar it says 15360KB 99%. When I try to enter another game, I can't even cut...

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.
