....use your time when you're not 'on the clock.' ( Your opponent's time is running.) Do you do a piece count? Do you find out what your opponent could be up to? Does it matter if you have the better or worse position? Do you goof off? :-) Comments?

Dear everyone, I am an Italian "would-be chess historian" and editor. I am looking for the exact German text of the infamous "Jewish and Aryan Chess" articles by Alexander Alekhine as also for their exact dates and medium of publication. Any help in this respect would be greatly appreciated (full text, hints, any information whatsoever).

Again, I wanted to find out what Garry thought about his predecessors, Did you? Did Garry pour his heart and soul into this project, while leaving only the cover design to whatshisface? The evidence shows otherwise. Perhaps "Fighting Chess: My Games and Career" is more what you were looking for?

Greetings, I'm visiting NYC in August (from UK) for a short break (I've been told I'll fry!) and am looking for a recommendation for a good chess shop (books, sets etc etc) in the city. Am staying in west midtown. Also anywhere I can just drop in for a game? Cheers pj

Here's a question. Are there any sites on the internet where you can submit a game for free analysis? Just wondering. -Dan --

Paul Hoffman, an author who writes on chess and many other things for the NY Times and many mainstream magazines, has a short article on Nakamura at the National Open. I believe it appeared in the print version of Tuesday's Journal. It has some funny bits in which Nakamura criticizes his step-father's play. (Sunil Weermantry, his former coach.) It concludes: 'His fellow competitors marvel at...

Hi guys/gals, I've discovered chess only last year, and I've been playing it ever since....especially against the computer and human players. It's the best game I've ever played.... I have a few questions about chess.... 1) Why is it that losing at chess....is supposed to make you a stronger player in the end? It just seems logical that losing at chess

Writing about the same topic is not plagiarism, the act of taking and using ones words, ideas and inventions as ones own. The evidence of plagiarism would be a side by side explication of the text. The author and publisher may be quilty of something or the other but is it really plagiarism? I was also surprised at how plagiarism was actually spelled.

I often think about chess as a "Turing Test". I enjoyed Garry's point of view on the subject: Machines use 95 per cent calculation and 5 per cent so-called "positional understanding", which a machine inherits from its creators. Humans use 99 per cent intuition and 1 per cent calculation, but very often we come to the same conclusion. So does it mean that the machine's process is an imitation of...
