I have written some math workbooks. One of them is a collection of mathematical chess puzzles, math puzzles, and word problems. I believe my idea of creating mathematical chess puzzles for elementary students will be helpful to students. More details, see Math and Chess web site at www.mathandchess.com

It looks like he is down a pawn with his kingside pawns very weak.Can he hold the position.Not sure if he has enough counterplay

Hi. I'm looking for latest works or favoured by majority on chess end-game study materials. Will take any good recommendation be it books or programs. Thanks.

I've played at ICC for a couple of years and I think it's really excellent value for money. Today I had a run in with a power crazed admin. As a frequent visitor to chessbase.com where they advertise playchess I was thinking of switching, or at least having a look. So what does anyone here think of the relative virtues and vices of the two. cheers dd

Looking for strong chess freeware, about 2000+ rating. Where to download? thanks

Wow! A match of slow grinders won by the white players in games 2, 3, 4, and now 5.

In the first five games of the Adams Kasimdzhanov match, White is 4.5-0.5. Statistical anomaly? Characteristic of these players? The result of an early win by K? Or is (God forbid!) Kirsan's short match + short time controls having the desired effect for spectators? Perhaps a stronger player can comment. All four White wins have looked pretty smooth to me, not "grinds" as Pete Casso has...

Anyone knows?

I'm searching for a Table Top Chess Computer, and would appreciate any recommendations or suggestions. I am keen to get a Table Top computer that features a playing surface that is of a substantial size. Most of the computers that I see on the market have squares that are just 1 inch on the sides. This entails that the pieces are rather small. Usually, despite the fact that the pieces are small,...

Where can I find one? High quality resin plastic seems the most stable. If I have to settle for wood I'd consider drilling a hole through the bases for a steel rod. Seen too many old, tall chess sets with Queens and Kings that lean.

Hi folks, I hope you can help me with this. I am trying to remember the name/author/publisher of two chess books I had and lost during a move some time ago. If you can help me identify the books, I can probably order them via some used book dealer on internet.

greetings to all, when you study chess, how do you study? do you play openings over and over until you have them down? do you play games over and over? do you look at patters? do you just play lots of games and learn what works and what doesn't? do you pick one or two good openings for white and black and focus? i'd just like to hear what others are doing. i need focus, i don't seem to be...

.... that K won with white! Either: K is A's equal in slow grinders K is in the form of his life (note that A is in splendid form as well!) or there is indeed a K factor!

where can I buy a chronos clock online? thanks kyle

I have noticed that when I play a lot of online games, or study a lot with PC chess software in 2d, that I get a much different perspective then when I use a real chess set. I can take a position of a game and load it into a 2d program, and see all sorts of possibilities directions overall range of things. If I take the exact position and load it into a 3d program it seems like a totally new...
