The website www.logicalchess.com offers quite a bit of nonsense. On one page alone, I found: *Weinstein, Norman (1950- ) Killed an 83-year old man in a nursing home - the first murder by a master. He is serving a life sentence. It wasn't Norman Weinstein, it was Raymond Weinstein. * Winter committee

Thanks for any info.

Statting later on Wednesday night on eBay, a complete set of 1966-67 US Championship bulletins. Here is the eBay auction ad. Look at the statement from Rd 3: "There have been several complaints by more than one player that the chess boards are not lighted well enough. Therefore, spectators are requested to have lighted matches in their possession at all times while the games are in progress....

I like to play chess but I don't study the game. I would like to be able to start a game with Chessmaster and have an option to tell Chessmaster........Don't make that move but make the next best one. This would give me a chance to play an opening without having to remember what comes next. Anyone else think this would be useful?

I think he's done quite a fine job with this online "graphic novelette": http://www.scottmccloud.com/comics/chess/chess.html Brett http://www.100bestwebsites.org/ "The 100 best sites on the Web, all in one place!"

Though I take a back seat to no one in my admiration for Kramnik, I'm puzzled by this paragraph from his new, official website. ***** The list of his victories is long, very long. He has already finished all major tournaments in the world as the victor. His six-time success in Dortmund surely stands out. And he holds a record, included in the Guinness Book of Records, which has made sporting...

With great sadness I must report that GM Konstantin Nicholaevich Aseev has died in St Petersburg, August 22nd 2004, at age 43, after a lasting illness. For the last week I have been staring frozenly at perhaps his last piece of writing, without being able to work on it, and rather dreading this eventuality, a commissioned piece;- a game annotation of a loss to Valeri Yandemirov in...
