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.
( http://www.ifilm.com/video/2769762 ) - this is an example of one of
my NO-BUDGET film projects. I play the main character.
Anyway - Back to my question. 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.

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?

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?

GetClub Chess Game Tweaked. by
Sanny
A few things were adjusted. The game will play like earlier and will
not spend time on long calculations.
Lets see if the game plays better.
Play Chess at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html
However, I was able to beat Beginner Level. Higher Levels will play
very good moves.

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...

Chess One
Dr. Phil:
Dutch GM Tim Krabbe compïled website with
"110 MOST FANTASTIC CHESS MOVES EVER"

USCF Pension and Finance Problems and Slow Response From Board by

That's pretty funny coming from someone who, ah, misappropriated the
CalChess treasury, then traded it back for a lucrative scholastic
tournament. (At the time, a CalChess rep tried to convince us that his

either.)

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...
