SCID has all kinds of separate windows, eg the game/board window, a PGN window. All these separate windows complicate task switching, because it's difficult to bring up all the SCID windows at the same time. Is there any way to integrate or combine all the SCID windows into one separate window, so SCID shows up just once in the task bar? This will make task switching easier, so I can restore...

Did any chessplayer ever shoot himself at the board in a tourney? (NOTE: I don't mean felt like it, nor do I recommend it) !!

It is only Feb 10/11 right now, but the first great chess tournament of the year 2004 already feels like it has happened years ago. It brought a fine victory to Anand, who is the top **active** player in the world these days (or months). His results in classical chess are supported by his domination of the active chess. And still, the finish of the tournament made his result a bit less shiny. He...

Sam, Any new updates on the current state of the USCF. I haven't seen any post from you in a while. Leopold

In friendly games, do what you want. If the game is still interesting, play on. BUT: 1. Resigning when you have no real chance of winning is the mark of a good sportsman. 2. The argument that you can't learn and improve by resigning doesn't hold water, because by resigning and resuming play with the same player or another, you are working on the part of the game where your difficulty lies. If...

If he would have defended his title would he have played Karpove ? How many of HIS top ten GM's did he play ? Saw the thread below on Fishers top ten GM's. Were does he live anyone know ? How old his he ? Is he a millionaire ? Why was he so strange , it seems to me that if i won the Championship i would have wanted to defend it and try to keep it as long as i could . Why didn't he want to defend...

Can any one point me to more information about him. Seems like he was a professor for a college in Maine and lived in Bangor. Thanks Russell Miller, Chelan WA

Hi everyone, What is your opinion about the five volumes of the ECO by Informant? Is it worth buying them? Is it a staple for any serious chess player? If so, to what extent is it? Do you need to be an expert to really take advantage of it? Do you have the five volumes personally? Or do you think it gets obsolete quickly and is not worth spending $200? Thank you in advance. Frankie

i love to play chess but dont have much time to play

There are a few people I can think of who never got the GM title, but probably could have or should have. Igor Ivanov, Nezhmetdinov, and Bernard Zuckerman come to mind fairly easily. Who were some others? Who do you think was the best? And no it is not your uncle Ernie!

Where can I download a printable version of the Opening Book? Who owns the rights to the opening book? Will I have to buy a book of the openings instead? I was hoping I could get a PDF file and print the pages I wanted. -- -Robert Smith ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- Remove 'nospam.' from my email address if you...
