The Game of Chess
2010-01-22 03:00:00 NBA Chess "The first move requires no pieces.

Feel his years, a lifetime of hunger and hope trifles and triumphs. Search his heart for fear, show him none in return." The game of chess, the game of champions, the most respected board game of all time! Chess dates back to before 600 AD, and was played by the greatest minds in history.

10 Greatest Chess Players in History
2009-09-16 15:26:00 There is no doubt that throughout the history of chess there have been many superb players who have reshaped and redefined the way the game is played. This list is an attempt to examine and categorize the greatest of those. No doubt there are many worthy names that could be added, but here is the Top 10 who I believe have rightly earned their places as the greats. The criterion used is based upon a number of factors including dominance over contemporaries, length of career at the top, contributions to chess and individual flair and brilliance. Please note this is not a head to head of who would beat who, as most modern professional players would dominate the forefathers of yesteryear due to developments in Chess Theory, but a historical look at the greats10) Viswanathan AnandViswanathan Anand (pronounced [?i?????n???t???n ??n??nd?], Tamil: ?????????? ??????)

Murders in the Rue Morgue: Play chess online
2009-09-01 20:32:00 I enjoy the precise prose, Marx-free themes, and sense of decency of the pre-modern writers, even though things can get stuffy at times. Murders in the Rue Morgue, sometimes called the "first detective story," begins with a somewhat lengthy and difficult-to-follow discourse (below the fold) on which mental faculties are best tested by checkers in contrast to chess. Poe seems to think that the more constrictive rules of checkers better tests a man's analytic ability than the more varied move options in chess, although comprehending the exact reasoning would require me to think, and it's Saturday. Murder in the Rue Morgue is odd because the focus of the story isn't necessarily the mystery at hand, as the characters involved are barely present, but the inductive/deductive powers of C. Auguste Dupin. The reader can't possibly participate in the story: he's merely along for the ride. Or, the reader isn't given the information or time necessary to make a problem-solving guess and ...

The set has opened up a new sport to millions of vision impaired persons that allows them to be included in a very popular national game.

Richard Phillips Feynman Laws of Physics and the Rules of Chess
2008-09-12 13:21:00 Richard Phillips Feynman May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988 was an American physicist known for the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as work in particle physics (the parton model was proposed by him). For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman was a joint recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965, together with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga. Feynman developed a widely-used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions governing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams.He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb and was a member of the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. In addition to his work in theoretical physics, Feynman has been credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing, and introducing the concept of...
OVERLOOKING TACTICAL POTENTIAL AND POSSIBILITIES IN CHESS
2008-08-06 17:46:00 Teichmann said that the Game of Chess is 90% tactics. The middle game is rife with tactical opportunities which only one player sees! The middle game is where observation becomes most important, where the player sees the potentials and possibilities overlooked by his opponent. Tactical moves and combinations are even overlooked by strong players as well as average players. When more than one tactical move is made in the same series, it becomes a combination. We must see the tactic before we can see the combination. In the following examples, we will benefit from setting the position on a board, and examining our ability to see the potential and derive the tactics.Some combinations are simply the use of the same tactic more than once in the series. Here is an example of a simple combination played by a young man against one of the strongest chessplayers in the world! White to move. Observe: The black queen and rook are on the same color. White cannot take advantage with a kn...
The Chess King of Atlanta
2008-07-20 20:56:00 I was out until three in the morning last night, which has become kind of a rarity for the Old Man of the Hills here, and had a couple of set-fast beliefs turned on their end. First off, I ended up at the Ballroom Lounge in the basement of the Highland Inn, a place I'd avoided since it opened -- I was certain, despite friends' protestations to the contrary, that I'd hate it, that it would be claustrophobic and awful. Instead, it's spacious, a bit quirky, and really pretty cool.Then I ended up playing a game of drunken chess (like regular chess, except you're drunk) against a friend. Chess is a game that I've always thought you take up when you're tired of life -- the golf of board games. But I was completely wrapped up in the game, found myself thinking the moves through (when I've played chess in the past, it's with all the reserve and subtlety of a suicide bomber), and had a great time (and won). Am I actually a born chess player? Or have I just quieted down so much that ...

Ron Paul March On July 12th Is Ron Paul's Next Chess Move
2008-07-09 19:38:00 The Ron Paul movement is making their next chess move. After playing a rather quiet opening the movement is revealing that it has $4.7 million in power from donations received during the primaries. MTV will be covering the Ron Paul March and Aimee Allen will attend. She recently released the Ron Paul Anthem video... As written on 12/07...Ron Paul a political underdog has been gaining support across the country. Paul's political chess opening is compared to that of the "Giuoco Piano" which is Italian for "quiet game" or the Giuoco Pianissimo which is Italian for "quietest game"Paul favors a slow strategical grass roots battle by gradually building up tactical opportunities which explodes later into the political middle game and finally winning the endgame.Paul aims for a slow buildup deferring his major thrust until it can be prepared. By avoiding an immediate confrontation in the center Paul prevents the early release of tension with a solid consistent message of liberty and fr...
The Ideal Square In Chess
2008-06-16 20:11:00 In his book; Guide to Good Chess: First Steps to Fine Points (Purdy Series), J.S. Purdy offers four points for placing a piece on it’s “ideal square” in the opening: 1.The piece can go there in one move. Quick development is important. The first object of development is to clear your back line in as few moves as possible so you can get your rooks active. “The absurdity of these huge pieces locked away in corners never seems to strike the average player.”2.The piece will be effectively posted there. “Effectively” initially means the piece will be bearing on the center, directly or indirectly. 3.The piece will not suffer from exposure. The most common exposure is moving your queen out too early. Generally move the queen only one square, to free the rooks. Generally, move the rooks to open files, or files likely to be opened, but keep them on the back rank in the opening.4.The piece will not unduly obstruct any of its own forces. The most common example of this i...

Power and Force in chess: the Value of a piece.
2008-05-31 07:35:00 When we first play chess, we learn the “value” of the pieces. We learn that a pawn=1, a bishop or knight = 3, a rook =5, etc. On the chess site, in our games, these values are assigned for pieces captured. This ‘value’ must be properly understood. It sometimes takes a while to gain an understanding of the true value of each of the pieces. Understanding the true and current value of a piece helps us to make wise choices in selecting winning lines and moves. So, let’s begin by discriminating between the value of the piece, the power of a piece and the force that a piece can exert in the game.The value of a piece is based on a generalization. It can be likened to the number of squares a piece can control when on an empty chessboard. A rook will always survey fourteen squares on an empty board, seven on the rank and seven on the file, regardless of where it is placed. A bishop can control as few as seven and as many as thirteen, depending on where it is placed on the...

I want to post the pictures here of the tournament but I'm not that photogenic so I've changed my mind. Maybe after I edit and blur a little my pictures. :D [1] http://bleuken.i.ph/blogs/bleuk-en/blogs/bleuken/2008/05/03/arl-o-gilbert-as-a-coach/
