Sofia super-GM tournament I've been amused by the new rules for the current super-GM tourney in Bulgaria, which prohibit draws before move 30. But if every game continues to be a Petroff, you could do worse than put the fans ... Started 05/15/05 at 13:39:24 by HgMan « Pages 1 2 all »	18	7283	05/28/05 at 12:44:58 By: HgMan
Watching chess games in real time??? Years ago I remembered trying to view my games in "real time", as in with the timestamps included. I've spent god knows how long trying to find software with this feature, or the options that... Started 03/07/11 at 02:40:06 by Uhohspaghettio	5	2309	03/08/11 at 17:22:20 By: Uhohspaghettio
Squeezing the gambits Yes. I know that Paddy think that some of us are obsessed with new books. He's right, of course. Chess stars has a new book by Georgiev called "Squeezing the gambits".

What Ever Happened to Tony Rook? I was just reading some old forum posts on a chess website and I saw some people talking about how Chess.FM was so much worse without Tony Rook. I agree; the quality of Chess.FM went way down without... Started 01/14/08 at 07:41:37 by BlkSabb	4	7074	03/19/08 at 23:17:06 By: Bastadon
Fundamental Chess Openings, van der Sterren I received this yesterday and it is outstanding. As many were hypothesizing, it is in fact a translation of 'De wereld van de schaakopening'. It's a survey of all (reasonable) chess openings at just... Started 11/03/09 at 14:17:55 by dfan	0	1284	11/03/09 at 14:17:55 By: dfan
For Improvement study Anand or Kramnik? I find that I quite in tune with Kramnik and pick the same sort of openings, style of play ( of course about 700 points lower), while Anand I just don't understand at all, I dont generally play his o...

Poll: Strongest player never to become world champion A number of players are routinely described as the "strongest player never to become world champion," but of course there can only be one!

Poll: Fischer vs. Karpov 1975 I can't resist in engaging in a little frivolous speculation... What do you think the outcome might have been and why? Karpov in 1975 was arguably much stronger than Spassky in 1972. There are ... Started 07/06/05 at 14:40:09 by HgMan « Pages 1 2 all »	18	8895	08/08/05 at 08:52:27 By: woofwoof
Janis Klovans passed away There are not many players who managed to outplay Dvoretsky, Taimanov and Karpov as Black. So it is appropriate to play through these games, now he is not with us anymore. http://www.chessvibes.c... Started 10/08/10 at 02:21:57 by MNb	2	1258	10/08/10 at 17:14:24 By: Gorath
