I have two books in front of me: "The Outline of Contract Bridge" by Louis H. Watson author of Watson on the Play of the Hand published in 1934 and "Watson's Classic Book on the Play of the Hand at Bridge" new edition enlarged and modernized by Sam Fry, Jr.published in 1959

Does anybody have the tournament bulletins for the 1988 Seven Stars Cup Tournament of Chinese Chess in Beijing China? If so, would they kindly send me two of my games by email in a PDF Format or otherwise by regular mail. The games I especially want to receive are my two games against C. K. Lai. I won both games. C. K. Lai is a well known Xiangqi player who won the 11th European Xiangqi...

I present again Sam Sloan's claim: "The fact is that Taylor Kingston has never beaten a master." Interested readers can check the original post he http://tinyurl.com/27n2xd Sam's claim is quite absolute and unequivocal, and also unequivocally false. I have challenged Sam to put his money where his mouth is. I have 10,000 actual, official American dollars that say I have beaten an...

I was talking about new Games and Help Bot suggested me that why not have a board 100x100 size. That is too Big. We see people have mastered Chess so deep that they have just memorized first 10 Moves. But the beauty of Chess lies in its complexities. Here is a new GRAND CHESS I propose.

After creating "GetClub Chess" I think I should design something more interesting. Can the Chess Players give me some thing they would like to play at GetClub. View the new GetClub Site: http://www.GetClub.com/Chess.html What is your dream game which you would like to play.

I wonder if all the people involved in this political wars stop to think a minute about what is going on. There is a distinct chance that the way Go is taking off, that chess may end up falling behind it worldwide, with the total number of players involved. I am curious if all the squabbling going on will help accelerate people playing other games besides chess. Anyone have any comments? Is...

Chessbase has put up a good article which these newsgroups also researched this past January. Here is the URL http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=4513 Varieties of adjustment of scoring are considered by Kung-Ming Tiong, who is a mathematician and logician at School of Science and Technology, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia.

I agree that Goichberg should resign but I am sure that he will not do so. However, my reasons for believing that Goichberg should resign are entirely different than those suggested by Bill Brock. In the first place, this entire situation was created by Goichberg. After the votes were counted and I was declared to have been elected to the board on July 20, 2006, Goichberg started a series of...

On chess discussion Mr. Brock call for the resignations of both Mr. Truong and Mr. Goitchberg. Mr. Truong, reacting to Mark Nibblin's suggestion that Mr. Truong resign, noted that Mr. Brock called for Bill G's resignation but neglected to note the call for his own resignation. In case Mr. Truong missed the post (or pulls it), here is what Mr. Brock wrote: by billbrock on Wed Mar 12,...

It isn't the fact that it exists on Usenet that I am wondering about, but why the state of chess calls for a need of it. Is there ANY indication there will be any changes in ANY of the rules? Is there a chance that draws will be scored differently, the clock changed, or the reality that championships favor the champ going to ever be changed? If not, then what is the point of politics? Is it...

This question is related to my other question about why this newsgroup. Can someone please tell me what all the fighting is over? Do people get access an executive's restroom or something? Is there a private jet they get to use? Is there a multi-million dollar golden parachute for getting fired? What exactly are they fighting over? Please fill me in as an outsider here. I am working on IAGO...

SLAMMIN' SAMMY SLOAN The Rapper-Tapper man has returned -- not to confirm his initial statement that Taylor Kingston did not contribute a shining moment when he claimed to be 2300+ Elo. Nope, Rapper-Tapper does this new song and dance: I originally put the pressure on Kingston re his playing strength. So what?

For the record, here is my analysis. I have some degree of expertise in this area; I estimate my own skills to be roughly equal to those of Mottershead, and I estimate both of us to have skills well below those of Robert Jones and David Ulevitch, both of whom are well-known experts. (2nd revision reflects the possibility that someone else had physical access to at least two of Truong's...

The fines Mr. Goichberg might have to pay might be extreme, otherwise the USCF might lose tax exempt status and owe back dated taxes? I really don't understand the details. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_sanctions Maybe Mike or Phil or Larry or Taylor or 'bot or Larry might have a better take on this than I do. Rob
