Hi; WOW!!! Great Names. Here is a list of my Domains-- Web Page= www.americaletsroll.us/index2.html Most listed in the top 20 of the major search engines www.countryroads.us www.countrytime.us www.countrystyle.us www.traveltrailer.us

It's worth noting that the much-ballyhooed ICA Chess Bulletin, which is so often pointed to as the reason for Illinois having one of the highest state chess association dues in the country, did not bother reporting at all on the interesting Kasparov vs. 2084 player fracas in his July simul in Chicago. The leading feature article on this event, just out in the most...

Here are some puzzles taken from the chess games of strong players of the early 20th century. Except where noted, it's "White to Move and Win". a) http://wtharvey.com/nov1a.png White Mates in 3, Meergrum vs NN, London, 1924 b) http://wtharvey.com/nov1b.png White Mates in 5, E Verner Nielson vs Victor Christensen, Copenhagen, 1924

I know the rules, but I loose against even the simpliest chess programs on computers. I think I´m too brainless for chess.

Do you think they'll ever digitize Lev Alburt's puzzle book? It's such a great training tool. I'd love to have it for a game boy or PDA. -- Kate Taylor Clatskanie Chess Club http://clatskaniechessclub.tripod.com Snickerdoodles http://www.kathrynrosetaylor.com

But who changed her diapers and taught her how to checkmate? :) All kidding aside, I am very proud of both Judit and Sofia. Best wishes, GM Susan Polgar www.SusanPolgar.com www.USScholasticChess.org (LeModernCaveman) wrote in message ... That she is.

Has anybody tried ChessVU ?

Hello, everyone. My copy of Karpov's _The Semi-Closed Game in Action_ is missing pages 68 and 69. :-( Could any of you who has a copy of the book and a scanner scan in those two pages and E-mail them to me, please? I'd get the book exchanged but I can't remember where I bought it! Thanks very much,

UK league game, with a final position: 4k3/8/2N1P1P1/2K2p1p/p7/6b1/P7/8 black to move Both sides were short of time (White had ~5 minutes, Black had even less) .. however black noticed that white hadn't pushed his clock correctly, sat there until white's flag fell, and claimed a win (without, as it happens, making a move at all). It was a team game, but White's team were not sure whether they...

Joined a club, played my first game last night as bottom board for the bottom team against a 10 year old kid. He wasn't very good and I was soon a piece up for nothing (but absolutely not being complacent). I had knights on c5 and c6. He played b4 attacking the knight on c5. I thought for 3 or 4 minutes then picked up the wrong knight and played Ne5 instead of Ne4. Oops. As it happened he didn't...

Are Chess Instructional videos any good? I would think not, as many books have the same general info, and even a 2 Hour video wouldn't have as much valuable info as a good book anyway. Have I answered my own question here? The only advantage of a video lesson, I think would be, of course, is to actually see the lesson played out. Thoughts? Vic.

I have always really liked Rubinstein's games; he was after all a brilliant player. What came as a shock was how highly Kasparov rates him in MGP (I). Apparently Rubinstein is the most major influence on all modern chess! I had never really thought about him being that important. By the way, why 'Akiba' and not the more normal first name 'Akiva'? Are there many Akibas? Alan

Dear chess friends, A player has asked me to correct the notation of a move when two pieces can move to the same square, but only one of these two moves is legal. Please see the following sample: 7k/8/8/8/2b1N3/3N4/4K3/8 w - - 0 1 In this case when the white knight on e4 moves to c5, I would

The following interview gives a precious insight into the laboratory of the most profound chess journalist since the time of Tartakower.
