Thinking of creating my own youtube chess show! by judah_smith@netzero.com
Hi, Wanted some feedback on what chessplayers think would make a good chess show. I have no budget. But I do feel I have a eye for the camera.

I have watched a number of episodes of ChessNow on youtube. And frankly they are horrible. In...

Difference between Pirc and King's Indian by blazorge
Hello I'm wondering if someone could explain the main differences between the Pirc and the King's Indian defense for black. On the surface they appear very similar so I am wondering what the key things to think about are in each. Thanks very much in advance. -B

Chess, Hip Hop, Josh Waitzkin and the Wu-Tang Clan by raylopez99
I think there's even an old school rap song that has lyrics "I'm dressed in Black and I'm about to attack!". Does it refer to the Sicilian? RL http://stockerblog.blogspot.com/2007/09/connection-between-chess-and-hip-hop.html Tuesday, September 25, 2007

Adaptive Tactics Server by oklfxnm@yahoo.com
I'm curious what the gurus in rec.games.chess think about the website http://www.snufflenose.com/ats/index.php It seems like something new, but I could be wrong. It serves problems and rates the user in the various tactical elements. Is that useful for a chess student to know or not? I read a post he

CA 9.1 Question by Capa[_2_]
I have had the program for about a month and also have installed the Nalinov tablebases. About 80% of the time when using Engine--game analysis--time/levels, the program goes though its analysis, inserts the opening games referenced and then fails to insert any analysis from the middle game onward. I have background manager on. The only way to insert any analysis is to use infinite analysis...

GetClub.com rankings by help bot
It seems to me that Zebediah has established an 800 point advantage over the "Master" level, having systematically pushed it downward as his own rating s-l-o-w-l-y rose into the 1300s. Let's assume, for this purpose, that old Zeb is a USCF 2200: that would put the Master level at around 1400, if we could just map one ratings system to the other. But I don't think that is accurate; IMO, the...

What are the Moderators Doing?? by samsloan
I think this is a serious problem. About 20 posts were pulled, by a wide variety of posters, all having to do with USCF Governance. I think that almost everybody will be outraged, even including those who are generally docile. If we cannot discuss USCF Governance here, what can we discuss? It seems that the new rules is: We cannot discuss the rules of our Rulers.

Famous Video: Sofia Polgar defeats Korchnoi by samsloan
This famous video shows Sofia Polgar defeating Korchnoi in a blitz game and then Korchnoi gets angry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9k5oBgaZGI The commentators on this video have it all wrong. In first place, Sofia did not say that she has lost respect for him. She said the opposite, that she was afraid that she would lose his respect. (Sofia is a very gracious lady, by the way.) Next, the...

Questions about the "Gold Affiliate" status of Polgar by samsloan
While checking for that, would somebody check to see how Polgar got to be a "Gold Affiliate". When I was on the board I and the other board members got lists of all checks received. No check was ever received from Polgar for anything. This question was asked several times and was never answered. Perhaps it was an offset for agreeing to have her picture published on the cover of Chess Life...
