I wonder what they would say if chess pieces could talk. I believe that it would sound like a dysfunctional family because it is the queen that is wearing the pants in that household; not the king. I think the Bishops would act really arrogant because they can attack long range and they like stuck up pieces anyway. I picture Rooks to talk slow and sluggish but with old age wisdom. Who knows...

does anyone have any suggestions for a really good Ruy Lopez book? Something which covers all the main systems in some depth? thanks

This may be a bit of a troll, but I would very much like to hear arguments both for and against the notion that Emanuel Lasker was the greatest of all the world champions. Comments are welcome! Cheers, zdrakec

What are the first few moves of this opening? ECO number? Books? Your opinion on the opening? thanks Jim

Ruben Fine's advice was to take the pawn, forget defending your pawn, and simply develop. Let him waste time getting the pawn back while you develop. The trap to most gambits is to have you defend the pawn which can only be done by ignoring your development while he proceeds with his development. See the bust to the Danish gambit played in this fashion.

Does anyone know of a chess store in the Philadelphia area??? Your best bet is to wait for the Mr. Bill Show to hit the Adam's Mark Hotel for the World Open or the National Chess Congress.

This was a major tournament (even Morphy was entered, but he withdrew) won by Loewenthal and including such players as Staunton and Saint Amant; it was a much watched tournament at the time. Surprisingly, the results given in standard sources seem to be incorrect. I was surprised to find in the book of the 1862 tournament that, for example, the match Falkbeer-Ingleby was given as 2-0-3 rather...

What is the source of Kasparov's hatred of Karpov the man? I know of some vague political antagonism, but no specifics. Yet it seems that Kasparov views Karpov with utter contempt. Does anyone have more information?
