Was reading the latest article about Fischer. Just looking at the pictures of him in his last months makes you wish the pictures equalled the inside but they didn't. However I can imagine that it would have looked this way if he had chosen another path in life. The article is sad though and again it is about his money. But for a moment I can see a Fischer in there who was a World Chess...

FOR HIM, THE GAME WAS EVERYTHING Bobby Fischer, 64, chess master. He became a grandmaster at age 15 and a cold-war hero at 29, when he dethroned the Soviet world champion Boris Spassky in a storied 1972 match. Soon after, though, Fischer, a temptestuous personality, withdrew from the public eye. Following two decades of seclusion, he emerged briefly in 1992, defying an executive order by...

Hi, The game works like this: * as in chess, each player gets 16 pieces placed in the same two rows on each side on an 8x8 board * every piece starts out with a "1" on it * you can think of each "1" piece as a king; once you lose all of your

"Hopper Chess" In Hopper Chess the objective is checkmate. Normal chess rules apply except for the following. Any piece (not pawn) situated in front of any friendly piece (including pawns) can use the latter as a springboard for hopping over an enemy pawn standing on the same file, provided that there are no pieces in between. The piece lands immediately behind the enemy pawn. Note that the King...

Dear Chess Friends, Suppose you come to the tournament room one day, check your pairings, and go to your board only to discover that your opponent, with obvious symptoms of the bubonic plague, is extending his hand in your direction. What will you do. An extreme example, you say? Sure, but it is extreme to make a point. Disease agents are continually changing, mutating and spreading. ...

"In defense of chess as a party game" Chess during the medieval era was a very popular parlour game, especially among the upper classes. But by the turn of the seventeenth century it was no longer fashionable. Marilyn Yalom says: "Ironically enough, it may be that the elevation of the chess queen and the bishop to new levels of strength had something to do with the dwindling numbers of female...

I don't understand why you have shake hands with your opponent before you play a rated FIDE game?? Also, Topalov and Kramnik did not shake hands before their game and there was no protest. Does that mean if I play in the world open or other FIDE rated event in the USA, can I complain to the TD if my opponent refuses to shake my hand before or after the game???

Dear Chess Friends, Can anyone tell me how FIDE regulates individual expression in tournaments? Here is an example: suppose that a free thinker from Holland came to play in a FIDE tournament and wore a T-shirt with a picture of Mohammed with a lit bomb in his turban. How do FIDE rules apply? -- Cordially, Rev. J.D. Walker, MsD, U.C.

The game of Shatranj (the Persian or Arab predecessor of modern Chess) is still played widely in the Middle East and is far from being a dead game. Indeed, Shatranj is the normal form of chess played in Arab countries and Iran. In Europe, during a large part of the medieval era, chess was played according to Shatranj rules. The pawn can only move one step. The queen (general) can only step one...
