I believe this book is out of print and tough to find. I have a copy in excellent condition to sell or trade. (Montreal, Canada)

Neil McDonald, in his book on the Middlegame, states that Piece Coordination is the most important principle in chess. The problem is that the concept Piece Coordination is abstruse. About the only definition I could locate was in Hooper & Whyld: "the action of a player's pieces when they work together." Duh! Can anyone in the chess audience recommend some sources and/or definitions of...

I have used the records of the London Chess Club, which go back to 1807, and I found them impressive in the detail about the club's members. They are held in the London Metropolitan Archives. Does anyone know of records of the Westminster Chess Club? Or for other clubs around the 1830's? Staunton is said by various modern writers to have started to frequent the old Westminster club about...

I am thinking of bringing a lawsuit to stop the move to Crossville - Opinions Wanted For the past three days I have been receiving telephone calls and e-mails from people asking whether I am going to file a lawsuit to stop Beatriz Marinello from moving the USCF to Crossville, Tennessee. I am certainly the best person to file such a suit, since I know how to do it.

Dear Neil Brennen, I have read your posts for some 5 years now, in a series of **OBSESSIVE** stalkings. You are so thick you can't imagine it could possibly be your own intelligence that limits your understanding of anything, and your writing is fatuously and patently insincere, you could be re-defining the Ugly American. Apart from that, and a complete lack of serious contributions to chess...

Svidler pressurizing Grischuk who is in the process of castling artificially with Kf8, g8, h7 because he has to defend his pawn h6 with Kh7 and Bg7, h6 is attacked by a Queen Bishop battery. Svidler is using the time to develop an initiative at the Queen's wing, but nothing tanglible yet. We all wish that we can castle artificially that safely in our own patzer games! Tseshkowski investing a...

I am looking for an elo rating calculator program. EloCalc doesn't fit my needs and I don't want to use one online. It needs to be a downloadable program. Been looking for awhile and have turned up nothing. Any help anyone can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much. Regards, Jeff

Anyone have any updates when it will come back online?

We received this message from an insider. You can either take it with a grain of salt or as the gospel truth, but my source will never be revealed. This move to Crossville at this time and such notice is basically a disaster. The offer from Liberty is not only on the table, but there are offers from Lindsborg, Kansas; Erik Anderson said he wants to put in an offer; Ellenville, New York...

The games are off to a fine start with only 4 results from the first 10 games. Kasparov, Grishuk, Svidler and Dreev obtaining wins. Too early to report on 'leaders' as such. The official site is www.russiachess.ru however, an easier to negotiate game replay engine is at www.ruschess.com Phil Innes

Anyone surprised?

I have no idea if it is true or not but it comes from a generally good source and at least it seems plausible. Let me guess, you got this from Hans Christen Andersen. Yeah, right before his fatal sledding accident. KJ

Win or lose -- the USCF can ill-afford astronomical legal fees in fighting this lawsuit. The simplest way to avoid this crisis, it seems to me, is for the board to hold another teleconference placing the motion to move to Crossville in abeyance pending a two-week delay to study the feasibility of the Liberty site -- provided that Bill Goichberg and Erik Anderson are still willing to...

I really do not understand all of the complaining about Crossville? I think there is a great deal prejuding going on here. What difference does it make where an adminstrative office is located? NONE! How many times have you been to the USCF office? Of 90,000 members I would venture to say less than 1 percent have seen it or know where it is. I am new to the USCF. I am just getting back involved...

Personally, I wouldn't put an amount over the FDIC insurance threshold of $100,000 in a single bank. Especially one with local ownership such as the one in Crossville. -- Grant Perks Mr. Perks makes an excellent point -- another reason to suspect that something is rotten in Denmark and that the board has lied to us. ________________________________________________________________ "FIDE has...
