At least that's the name and date from my reference, but my reference also quotes an illegal move. Can't find it on chesslab.

FENomeno is a free service to display a chess position from a FEN or EPD string (generated by most chess programs) together with the creation of a short link, useful for example to post positions in a newsgroup. All you need to do is go (with your web browser) to e4e6.com? (with the question mark) and paste your string. Something like http://e4e6.com/?42 will be created and copied to your...

Question about SCID (I'm using ver. 3.5) - I'm a relatively new user and love it so far. My question relates to saving changes made using the comment editor. What works: If I open a PGN database, and edit or add some of the annotations using the comments editor, the changes show up fine in the PGN window. What doesn't work: When I choose the --Game menu, the options "Save: Replace Game" and...

Here is a free utility which will convert your saved Yahoo! Chess game to PGN so that you can import it into a popular chess viewer or analysis program. http://www.geocities.com/pgnchess2004

Does anyone have an email address for Patrick Wolff? If so, could you please send it to me privately. I would like to correspond with him about some errors in the second edition of his (otherwise excellent) book "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Chess." -- Gregory Topov --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I don't necessarily agree with everything I say." -...

Lately I have read an internet site www.moskva.ru with its great city guide. And I have learned that the word "Kremlin" probably comes from the word "Kremnik" a derivative from either the ancient Greek word "kremnos" which means "hard/strong" or from the Slavonic word "krem" which means simply "forest". So my question to the linguistic experts is : is it possible that the name Kramnik has sth in...

I recently decided to become a member of USCF. I signed up on-line about 2 weeks ago with a debit card. The $49.00 soft posted against my account the same day, and did a hard post the following day. The web site stated that a USCF ID number and pin would be sent to me via email...and I have never received it. I confirmed that I posted the proper email...which I did. I've sent two on-line...

The Austrian project to digitalize (terrible word, but seems to be what is used in the trade) newspapers is coming along well, and is available at http://anno.onb.ac.at/ Unfortunately, there is no word search available, so you have to know what you are looking for in advance. My best find to date was in The Humorist, 12/30/1843, where the paper notes after Staunton's victory that St Amant had...

In some annotations of the 1956 Bryne-Fischer game, it says: "Known as `the game of the century' until a later Fischer brilliancy. 13-year-old Fischer defeats one of the strongest American players. And once again a great master of the game does it with a Queen sacrifice." What game is the "later Fischer brilliancy" that surpassed the Bryne-Fischer game? -- Gregory Topov

Why would anybody of my calibre wish to meet S. Sloan.? - In my world he offers nothing, while expecting much. His humour is strictly Woody Allenish, in my view, & I detest the Woody 'fun' view. Where & when do these f'ckers literally FOAD?..

I recently got this: You have an invitation from Peter Richter at ChessWorld.net SNIP I assume this spam originated here. Anyone know this guy so they can kick him in the nuts for me? --Harold Buck

Some time ago, a poster questioned whether Mucklow had in fact received an 8th place prize in London 1851. I had never heard any such claim; my tournament book shows 8 prizes awarded with Mucklow getting 8th. Although I still believe that Mucklow did receive an 8th place prize, I was surprised to see that Der Humorist, July 30, 1851, lists only 7 prize winners for the tournament, so there may...

(Nick) wrote in message You were correct. David Ames seems to have mistakenly assumed that General Homma was tried by the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal. The procedures at General Homma's trial were extremely biased in favour of the prosecution, which provoked strong protests from the defence.

Hi all... I'm a volunteer at an elementary school, and we have a floundering chess club that just started last year. I need advice. Does anyone recommend any materials, resources, links, books, or have any ideas as to how to "run" a chess club for YOUNG KIDS (grades 1-4). Our kids are mostly beginners. We can tell them to play the game, and we can teach them the fundamentals, but can anyone...
