Andersen played Morphy and Steinitz. Did he ever comment about which player he considered best?

Nomorechess was asking me to improve the Tactics for many days. I was not understanding how to do that. But today an apple dropped and the GetClub Chess Tactics was improved. So the game will now make better moves than earlier as it will look for tactics much deeper than earlier. Play Chess at: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html And let me know how good tactics GetClub Chess is playing against...

A RIDICULOUS DECISION After having examined the verdict of the so-called FIDE Ethics Committee (an oxymoron) Larry Evans and I have concluded that it's okay to call someone a cheat but not a dunderhead. wrote: According to the FIDE ethics comission http://www.fide.com/news/download/Judgement02-07.pdf

B E T Y O U C A N ' T S O L V E T H I S ! ! ! C H E S S V I D E O S There is a new site on the web called chessvideos.tv They have visual training exercises.

Very interesting development. Even I have one: FIDE ID 2030390 But not everybody has one. How is it determined who has one and who does not have one? Sam Sloan

i do not know how to post them here.. One you can play people or the computer and you have to register , i have done it and it works well but you should have another board set up next to you because when the clock come on the screen it blocks some of the 7th and 8 th rank ..Other than that is fun to play. The other computer is very simple , you just click on PL for play and it has two PL ,...

Duncan Oxley has died Duncan Oxley, a well known chess tournament and Internet personality has died in Marina, California. I am shocked to hear of his death especially since he called me on Wednesday, August 29, 2007, and we had a telephone conversation lasting over an hour on a wide variety of topics. He told me that he was seriously ill. He had a disease of the large

There is a game where your are asked to plot the course of a knight moving from one square to another in a speed drill. Is there an algorithm to solve this problem other than reiteration? This game must be played mentally, not with a computer.

What board did that? Certainly not the board I was on. I would have strongly opposed this and remembered it. I have attended both of the meetings of the new board. There was never any vote saying that college chess should be lumped together with scholastic chess. We have about 40,000 scholastic members. He have about 500 college age members. When kids go to college they have more important...

Okay, so I am playing a blitz game against GetClub.com's Beginner level, and I go blind for one move and fail to see that its Rook can take my Queen (oops!). I had just offered her up for an obvious mate-in-two and in so doing, was supposed to pin (i.e. disable) the single defender against my back rank mates for a quick win. But alas, so ahead was I that in spite of losing my Queen for nothing,...

Comments?

I was watching one of the prison shows on the court tv channel and it was San Quinton , they were showing a bunch of different things and talking to people...gangs in side the prison + other things and it showed guys playing Chess from two different cells ....They used toilet paper to make the pieces and the powder from jello to color the pieces ....The board was colored cloth.

In response to criticisms on the USCF Forums regarding the fact that Susan Polgar refused to defend her Woman's World Championship title in 1998-1999, Susan has just today posted on her blog that she has a "Good Relationship" with Xie Jun now. http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/2007/09/chess-nostalgia.html I would like to hear Xie Jun say that. I would also like to hear the guy Susan slandered...

Now that you have addresses that question kindly address my question. You have as one of your first acts as moderator deleted an entire lengthy thread that was started by me and had more than 20 replies. You have made obvious your dislike for me over the past months. How can you claim to act impartially in your new position as moderator?

The "Tim Sawmiller Rule" provides that URLs and other links to websites are not allowed. However, the "Louis Blair Rule" provides that one must provide "Substantial Proof" for any statement one makes. That "substantial proof" will usually be a link or a URL to a website which supposedly contains this proof. These two rules are contradictory, meaning that nobody can post anything to the USCF...

Dear Mr. Rich Jackson, I am not involved in your case. I do not know you. I have never knowingly met you. I know nothing about you. I certainly have nothing against you. However, the evidence presented against you was overwhelming. You held a scholastic chess tournament in Connecticut around two years ago. You collected money from the kids and their parents, including entry fees and membership...

An online dictionary gives one definition of a forum as follows: "A medium for open discussion or voicing of ideas, such as ... a website." However, the powers that be regarding the USCF Issues Forum seem to have a different understanding of what the word "forum" means. They seem to think that if, for example, Joel Channing expresses an opinion, we should reply with:
