I manage farmining operations for absentee landlords in the southern US. I also teacher HS science whenever a school needs a science teacher, since I have a master's in biology and science educators are hard to find. The past three years I have been at a small country school (and I mean deep in the woods) that has some remarkably talented academic students. I have played at Chess for 42 years,...

I think it might be Timman-Kasparov Hilversum Dec 1985. But those might have been speed games since it appears they played 3 games. Chandler beat Kasparov at Hamburg 1985 but I am not sure when that event was held. Might have been even as late as May 1986 when Fe. Fernandez won a game as Black. Russell Miller

On Sunday, Feb. 6th, our chess club, the Exposition Park Chess Club http://chess.expoparkla.com/] hosted a free, unrated, three-round chess tournament at the Exposition Park Library http://www.lapl.org/branches/06.html] in Los Angeles, California. The tournament consisted of eight quads. The eighth quad was assisted by Kevin Bulone, who functioned as the tournament's house player. There were,...

Interesting predictions, but I doubt that Anand will lose three games, and I think that both Kaspy and Anand will finish higher than Adams. In fact, I pick Kasparov to win because I think, strangely, he has the most to prove right now and will be very focused.

I'm looking for a decent handheld (with touch screen rather than loose pieces) that not only play games (with different skill level setting), but also offers puzzles or 1-3 moves tactical drills (openings, mid/end-games are fine). I've looked at some of Saitek's models, but they all seem to be for game playing only. Any recommendation?

Why am I doing it? It's sooo much work, oh no... OK, I am irrational, I've decided to type in a table of strong OTB chess players of all times: http://www.alanisko.com/wlod/ or more directly: http://www.alanisko.com/wlod/rec/recFrames.html

One can only hope that the Chess Life editor knows the difference between a tournament and a match. In the January 2005 issue of the magazine - page 20 - the following cutline appears under the photo on the page: Vladimir Kramnik, reigning champion, studies the board in Round 12 Rounds are played in tournaments, not matches. The Kramnik-Leko match consisted of games. It is incorrect to refer to...

What are the major chess tournaments and when are they? I'm a newbie to following chess tournaments (on the net) and recently enjoyed the Corus event. What other major tournaments should I be looking out for? I've seen Linares mentioned, so I guess that's a pending biggie. Is there a calendar of such events? Thanks in anticipation Freddy

Dear Taylor, Recently I browsed some of the ChessCafe archives and came across that interview you took from grandmaster Yuri Averbakh. It was really a good job! However, there is one question I would like to ask you. You know quite well that some years ago ChessCafe posted the letter that Averbakh had sent to FIDE soon after Viktor Korchnoi's defection requesting FIDE not to allow Korchnoi to...

I was re-reading this recently - inspired me to either type it out or photcopy (thinking to myself "this paragraph ! no - THIS one no - ALL of them ! !". Photo-copying/scanning them seems an idea but the paper-bending , my scanner too is a bit old. And I type ... well the less said about *that* the easier per chance would anyone be able to post this "A Word to the Reader" , I might even get it...
