At one time, the USCF had a deal for temporary memberships that allowed you to play in a tournament. Is this still around?

A thought-provoking analysis by Kasparov. I especially like his quotation from President Reagan. http://online.wsj.com/article/0,,SB10638498253262300,00.html?mod=opinion%255Fmain%255Fcommentaries KGB State by Garry Kasparov When Russia's President Vladimir Putin arrives at Camp David for next

Susan Polger has published a very good interview with Paul Truong that describes his remarkable life including his struggles to reach the United States. If the USCF needs a "survivor" and someone who is a self-made man with a track record of successes, Paul's their man. He should bring fresh leadership, lots of energy and many creative ideas to his new USCF position of Marketing and P.R....

Does anyone know of a book, a course, or a teacher who can give pointers on getting the most out of chess computers? Seems like I'm under-utilizing the GM on my desktop. Angelo

Try Tactics # 102 on ICC. It took me about 50 take-backs. It wasn't even fun. Anyone who can visualize this mate is a genious of the highest order. (it isn't one of those pansy 5 move mates either). I assume these puzzels on ICC are checked over for the fastest mate, but I have my suspicions on this one. Tom

Angelo, I emailed you about the Norman Rockwell plates and up to now you haven't responded. What are you, announcing things here in RGCP but not man enough to honor your words? I wonder if you knew that John Fernandez' ebay auction was real.

Here are some puzzles taken from the chess games of strong players of the early 20th century.

Kasparov vs. Capablanca by Goran Tomic "Why did Kasparov talk about Capablanca with some underestimation?" When you read about the best chess players in history, you could be perplexed by Kasparov's evaluation of Capablanca. He said in the interview conducted by Hannon Russell:

d4 can lead you to the blackmar-diemer and this is certainly fun and probably more tactical than e4 will ever be ! And yes , maybe at grandmaster level this opening is not a good idea but since I never play grandmasters I don't care !!! On Sun, 22 Jun 2003 01:39:03 +1200, "Blue Knight" wrote:

Searching for Bobby Fischer I just replayed the movie "Searching for Booby Fischer" on video. Of course, I had seen the movie before, but this time I saw a few things I had not seen previously. I think that we as chess players can learn a lot from this movie. It is a masterpiece in the way that it takes a subject most people would find to be deadly boring and turns it into an exciting drama....

Hello, Does anybody know of any websites that either host or setup Correspondence Fischer Random games? thanks, Seth

Last week I sent my open letter to the editors of www.worldchessrating.ru as regards the abnormal situation: the bloated personality cult of Garry Kasparov. The readers will understand everything from this letter that I translated for them from Russian into English. What they will not understand is that so far I have not received any reply from the editors, Kasparov’s friends and colleagues. No...

I went to my local Barnes and Nobles bookstore and found that the new kasparov book (My Great Predecessors VOL. 1) cost $35.00 on the cover. So I decided to search the Internet to find better prices. I then went to chesscafe.com and found it selling for 33.95 . I visited Amazon and found the book selling at $24.50 . Finally I went chessusa.com and found the same book selling for 29.75 . Now all...

The problem with Games Parlor is it has zero impact on USCF membership and does nothing for USCF's profile because every player there is already a member. True? The numbers (that I've seen) are too low, so there's no way to make up for the fact that people only go there to play games (or maybe only chess), and that they are USCF members already. I'm not sure about the financial side, but I'd...

Dear Relatives, Friends and Associates in the World of Chess: Heil Dubya! When I was in the sixth grade, I had a teacher, Mrs. Wilson, who used to tell us how wonderful it was to live in the United States. Her favorite reason was that, while people had to carry identification at all times in other countries, we could walk the streets with no identification at all and, as long as we...
