Gentlemen and Gentleladies, You have voted to move the headquarters of the U. S. Chess Federation to Crossville, a small town in Tennessee. If you have the funds, you will be putting up a headquarters building next to a gas company. If not, you may have a prolonged stay in an old church or, mayhaps, in a warehouse. You will be hoping to procure adequately trained labor in the vicinity. If...

Does anybody like the new Google Groups format? Google has just introduced a new format. You can see it at http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rec.games.chess.politics Perhaps I am just not used to it, but I do not like it. You do not see the links clearly and you only see a few recent posts. Right now, I want to find the postings of a few months ago where Leroy Dubeck demanded the resignation...

I downloaded ChessBase light yesterday , and I have two questions. AFAIK, they aren't answered in the help system. 1. When entering a game, is it possible to force it to accept an illegal move? 2. I tried to have it put the games and data in a folder, but it put them in my root directory. If I go to Database/Open, select a folder, and click "OK", nothing happens. It doesn't seem to take the...

Hello everyone, I've been toying with my own Chess variant (http://www.anwu.org/phichess/). The rules are primarily those of orthodox Chess, with a larger (13x8) board and extra pieces like those of Bird and Capablanca. I have been playing with a few rule changes, however, and those that I've played with - casual Chess players - have enjoyed them. I would like to know what serious Chess...
