Chess friends, I've seen the term ratpacker used frequently. I wondered what was meant but left the matter aside while trying to understand other things. Now, returning to it, I'd like to find out what you all mean when you refer to someone as a ratpacker. I wanted to approach the subject with a bit of preparatory work. I investigated the Google archives. From the records available, it...

Morphy is to be congratulated on a fine site, with various interesting sections. Perhaps Morphy will be kind enough to insert a picture of Howard Staunton in the champions' gallery?

When I am playing correspondence I like to adopt an idea from S. Gerzadowicz - from Diary of a Chess Master - at various stages of the game, what is my assessment of each side's chances?

I have a question for Gregory Alexander. Gregory Alexander has posted here many times at great length that he is a great expert on web design and the Internet and that he is immensely qualified with twenty years of experience in the field.

Nomorechess suggested me that GetClub Chess should look for Defence moves and also look ahead when something is captured or King gets Check. His technique was implemented. But it looks like its depth has gone very down. Earlier it used to go upto 6 level deep now it goes till only 2-3 level deep. Play Chess at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html
