Like many of you, I've read some of the stuff written by Mig when he worked for Kasparovchess.com and now at chessninja.com. While reading some of his "daily dirt", I noticed that he mentioned that he was going to play at the 2003 World Open. Having read some of his previous comments about his appraisal of his chess strength (I think he mentioned he played against some of the kasparovchess.com...

I love my country. I think the Founding Fathers got hold of some of the most profound and wonderful ideas regarding rights and freedoms that the world has ever known. I do not believe, however, that the Founding Fathers fully understood the implications of these ideas and they were clearly less than completely successful in putting these ideas into practice. Nevertheless, the fact that they...

Looks like it could be interesting, if u have satellite TV J BBC Show On Chess Chess In Pieces Timed to coincide with a new exhibition at Somerset House in London, this documentary looks at art and chess, two worlds driven by money and power. Chess is a game so intense that it has driven leading players to obsession

As a German, I claim the rooks. Elementary. The other pieces could be trickier...lessee, the king is a wimp but still most important, the knights totally unpredictable, and the pawns might be the Tiger states... :-) (hey, why have a sexist flamewar without a good old fashioned nationalistic one :-) -- Hauke Reddmann :-EX8

Damiano's Defense Srikes !! They laughed when I sat down with my Damiano's Defense. Then, I kicked sand in my opponent's face. They said that I could not win with the Damiano's Defense, unless my opponent was a 1400 player. They were wrong. I believe that I can win with this defense against anybody rated less than 2100. Here is the game. My opponent is a rapidfly improving young player who

Has anyone else heard of this variant? I've found it to be at least as complex and exciting as Chess, though in the latter I'm a rank beginner. The variant as I know it is called "Super Tweak" and is similar to Chess in only in the sense that it can be played on a Chess board and with most Chess sets (there is one aditional piece that is typically represented by an upside-down rook) and the...

(Doctor SBD) wrote in message ... Considering that Mig has Fritz to analyze for him, this is not only poor analysis but a pure patzer game as well. I did not run it through Fritz, so I don't know objectively what was best. It does not seem like any thematic sacrifice I am familiar with, but I dont tread much into...

I have similar results against computers, but in correspondance, I'm about the same with white and black. It's strange but I LIKE playing black better. I like reacting more than acting. I like making a guy over-extend, get impatient. I like deflecting threats and playing defense. I like ignoring threats and countering. Most of all, I just feel like I know what to do when he's making...
