I wonder what GM's think of Gary Kasparov's work "My Great Predecessors"? I would love to hear what Kramnik has to say about this! Surprisingly I haven't heard much about their opinions about his work so it would be curious to know their opinions and objections to Kasparov's comments and game analysis. I wonder what Bobby Fischer thinks about Kasparov's comments about his career in Volume 4 for...

Thank you Duncan and Paul for these notices. I never knew him, except to appear at a strange photo-shoot where I stood with him and farcically where he thought I was a Russian GM. :) But I do know a German psychologist, a man whose perception I respect, and who is much invested in chess, who said that Arnold's book on chess personalities is the best of all publications of this type. Arnold...

As a publisher, I have standing to get a court to resolve the issues of copyright and right-to-publicity as they relate to chessgames without having to publish any games first (it's a "legitimate conflict" issue). Basically, if I sue this way, I'd be seeking declaratory relief whereby a court would declare that a chessplayer has the right to control who publishes his name along with his...

Hey, where can I find chess club in greater New York area? thanks Dan

White's 10th move on the scoresheet is also the 19th move of the game. Thus you have 1019. The 10th letter of the alphabet is a J and the 19th letter is an S. Thus you have JS, the initials for Jennifer Shahade. All chess games where white makes at least 10 moves will have these initials. This leaves a permanent marker for Jennifer Shahade or any one else with the initials JS on the...

A poster, Robert Kaucher, on a Yahoo Chess Improvement group has been banned. He had suggested in his postings yesterday to several other posters that they e-mail with each other as a small group to discuss their games. This idea seemed sensible and convivial, and did not excite any particular notice among other posters than to agree to take part in it. For reasons as yet unknown, Robert...

After applying Rosicrucian mystical principles it was revealed to me that a black rook on e4 signifies the FBI. The black rook is the 6th chessman and e4 is the 29th square. This leaves you with 629. The 6th letter of the alphabet is an F, the 2nd is a B and the 9th is an I, thus you have FBI. The black rook on e4 thus represents the FBI. The original cause of chess is unfolding and Bobby...

Best wishes for all chess players and chess fans for the New Year 2005! I hope that this will be a happy and healthy year for all of them.

"David Pollitt" wrote in message ... In one of the largest earth quakes ever recorded over 2500 chess players in Asia have died. These deaths included at least 2 GMs, and 15 IMs as well as hundreds of young people who enjoyed playing Chess, who would have had very promising careers in Chess had they lived. Even without these unnecessary deaths of...
