It an exciting Ruy Lopez Kamsky was able to force a draw.Shirov was able to obtain two passed pawns on the queenside which looked dangerous.Kamsky was able to cooly defend and forced a drawing combination.I thought during the game if Shirov could get the queens off the board he would win.Kamsky seeing farther was able to take advantage of Shirov's weakened King's position.All Kamsky needs to...

Both these men are on a roll and i am still pulling for Gata .....

I hereby appeal from being put on Moderation, on several grounds, including the following: 1. The moderation committee was newly formed and I was almost instantly put on moderation. I was moderated retroactively for postings I had made long before the moderation committee had been informed. It is fundamentally unfair to give the new moderation procedures retroactive application. 2. I was not...

Paul Truong has made a proposal on his own forum which is www.chessdiscussion.com that basically he take over the US Team selection process. He claims that the board should not do that because they lack experience in this matter. Truong's proposal is obviously objectionable for a number of reasons but those who have commented thus far do not seem to realize it. In the first place, it is not...

One type of retrograde analysis problem is determining whether a particular set-up of the pieces can arise from a legitimate game. Sometimes it can be shown that a position is "impossible" because a piece (usually a bishop) had to get out from its original square, but the only possible exits are blocked. I got to thinking about "proofs of impossibility" and I wondered: Is there a position which...

After using 10 different seo companies over the last 2 years for all my sites the only one that got me the conversion rates like I wanted was http://seoservicesextreme.googlepages.com/seoexpertservices this SEO firm.

Greetings Chess Friends, Is it true that yet another independent expert is going to weigh in on the validity of the Mottershead report tomorrow? I am most curious to hear the result. If we have another vindication of the report, it is going to make the USCF stonewall of denial look even more tragically doomed. I have no idea how Sam will make out with his law suit. But it is time for the...

1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 e6 6 g4 Line What's the game plan for White? White intends to gain space on the kingside ( 6 g4, 7 h4, h5) and pressurize Black's game in that sector (8 Rh1-g1, 9 gxh5 10 Bg5). In the center, he aims to take advantage of the half open d-file ( 11 Qd1-d2, 13 0-0-0)
