On Saturday, August 2nd, the Exposition Park Chess Clubhttp://chess.expoparkla.com/], hosted an free, open, unrated tournament of two quads in three one-hour rounds of play. The tournament was held at the Jefferson Branch Library http://www.lapl.org/branches/17.html] in Los Angeles, California. The names of the winners, together with their final scores, were as follows: 1st Quad There was a tie...

Great game! Leko had some winning chances in the endgame. ...g5- was last mistake. Better Rh4 and than Rd4. More and bets for all rounds and tournament winner on: http://Kramnikchess.narod.ru

I don't understand why GMs charge so much for lessons. It's not like the average person can afford $60 an hour. I guess they are still communist and think about making as money as possible at one time. If they were capitalist, they would lower their rate to $40/hr and make more money. For example, getting paid $40/hr for 10 hours is much better than working $60/hr for 5 hours. Plus they...

In article , says... I've just been invited to ChessWorld.net (www.letsplaychess.com). I'm playing one game as guest. Seems ok, is it worth being a member? Any members wish to comment. TIA, Kym I like it. Though I've only been a free member for about 8 months or so.

This is a true test of chess ability.

200 Words by Lev Khariton August 1st, 2003 I love chess history, but I think that right now we have to discuss something far more important things than the parentage (that is, who his father was) of Bobby Fischer. With September 18 looming on the horizon, the beginning of the Ponomariov – Kasparov match in Yalta, I would like to ask the chess world some questions. Chess history is being made...

Hello, I like playing chess, but even more I like collecting nice Staunton sets. I have been collecting sets for years and have found some really great ones from the House of Staunton and Chesstopia.

I don't get it. Why have been decided to play with Fritz since it has been outranked by Shredder 7.04 (in SSDF list) and it seems it will be outranked by Junior 8 too? Even if the Morsch team intend to come up with Fritz 9 or something the Chess Base team would not know how the program will perform compared to others.

I would like to pass on the following shopping experience I had with ChessBase USA, with this group. I originally ordered Fritz 7 from ChessBase USA 27 June 2003. This was because they advertised (and to this day, still do) that this product was on sale for $25 US, as you can see: http://chessbaseusa.sectorlink.org/DesktopDefault.aspx After comparing the features with Fritz 8, I determined...

Anand lost again... More on http://Kramnikchess.narod.ru You can make serious money in section ChessBets with such results!

My copy of MY SYSTEM (published by McKay) has Nimzovich playing in two tournaments in London in 1927, with scores of (+7 -2 =2) and (+7 -0 =3). The former has been confirmed by several sources, while the latter seems to be a mistake. Any ideas what the +7 -0 =3 was supposed to refer to?

Don't forget that pattern recognition and viable plans based on arrangements is something grandmasters have greater expertise with. Here's what Yermolinsky says: 2200 vs 2000 better feels the flow of the middlegame, uptrends and downtrends, critical points 2400 vs 2200 better performs in the transitional stage from middlegame to the endgame and knows and plays the endgame better

Is this possible and if so, how is it done? I want to convert some of my tourney games, and placed them in themed folders. TIA

Thanks you guys. A new Live creationg, "The Morphy Horror Picture Show" a story on how a night at the Opera turned Brutal and then became chess history.

36 hours from now I'll be engrossed in my first round game at the Interservice Championships at Camp Lejeune, NC.
