IQ test by
I'm conducting an experiment for college on behalf of the gifted program. The following is an IQ test which I'm administering to various individuals. The scores will be quantified later. The designers of the test are gifted individuals whose names will remain anonymous. The test is genius level, with a floor of 121 IQ and a ceiling of upwards of 190. In a word, it is

Queening to queen VS Queening to rook or bishop by Seabook
Hi guys, Do any of you guys know actual chess games or problems where queening a pawn to a queen instead to just a rook or a bishop gives results worse than queening to rook or bishop? The reason I'm asking for these is I was having a discussion about "optimizing" a computer chess engine with an expert in the field (Guess who that is.). I first suggested that the chess engine could just skip...

Bobby Fischer and taxes by Ivan
Why doesn't Bobby Fischer just the IRS his taxes so that he can return back to the USA? I am sure that he misses living here and eating the nice food and watching baseball games. If not, he should at least move to Canada. That country has no culture and they want to be just like the USA anyway.

Does the USCF return your diskette? by Ivan
When you send a tournament report via computer floppy, will the USCF return your floppy after the event has been rated? If not, then they should put something on the form to let people know that they won't get their disks back. This is just another example of how the USCF likes to place burdens on its TDs. Especially when the TDs are the ones who are bringing the "much needed" revenue to...

Sherzer Derby: Best Team names at the US Amateur Teams by Isidor Gunsberg
It'll be interesting to see what kind of team names, playing on the Sherzer case and his noteriety, will be coined at the 2004 Amateur Team Championships. One suspects that he will be a font of inspiration for more than a few teams. Probably, the Amateur Teams will be one event that he opts to skip.
