So RULES here are guidelines we try to follow. But no penalty or negativity about any infraction or misunderstanding of them. In that case, we'll simply clarify and continue the game.] ^^ *Please DO have a board kept set-up to follow the game, if you wish to play. Thus, No "blindfold" moves, Please! ^^ *Anyone with Forum posting privleges can join at any time, but can only make moves for one side or the other; therefore must stick with the color that their first accepted move is. ^^ *When more than one player posts for the same move number, then the first legal move posted will be the accepted move in the game. ^^ *A player can post a move for his side at any point, but cannot make two consecutive moves. Some other player must make a move before the last player to post an accepted move can post another one. (At this time, Conditional Moves will not be made; but might be tried in the future sometime. Probably a later game.) ^^ * A game will be considered RESIGNED if no one posts a move within 48 hours for the side whose turn it is. 24 hours will though be added on Sundays at 00:01 AM. ^^ [*The first player to post an accepted move for that color (excluding the moderator) will be the Captain of that side for the game. ^^ *After move 30 it is possible to offer and draw or resign. Any player posting a move can suggest to his team to offer a draw or resign the game. The team then vote on the suggestion. The team captain counts the votes from the team members. The vote is valid if 2/3 of the team votes and is desided by simple majority rules (the team captain has two votes in case of a tie). In case of less than 2/3 of the team voting the game continues. The captain can also at any time (after move 30) call for a vote on a draw offer or resignation. From the time of the request the team has 3 days to vote. The game will be paused during the voting. ^^ *The person to create a new FORUM game will be REFEREE/MODERATOR. Moderator posts WILL BE TYPED TOTALLY IN CAPITAL LETTERS, THUS EVERYONE ELSE IS ASKED TO REFRAIN FROM USING ALL CAPS IN THEIR POSTINGS. ^^ *All participant or spectators are welcome to post notes after the game. Additionally, participants may comment as the game goes on as long as the move commented upon is at least 5 moves in the past. If any move sequence given as arising from that prior move#, try to avoid coming close to the present position. This is just to avoid commentary that could affect the ongoing play or strategy. [Still, its all in fun and so if it doesn't work out well, then next time notes can be prohibited until game completion.] ^^ Any suggestions about Rules or format are most welcome. ************************************* Try to post the move in the topic like this: 21... d3 (a move for Black) And the whole game move order (with your new move at the end) in the subject along with comments. Have fun! Sumsar | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

As we hit the halfway mark of the chess tournament, appropriately enough, the leader is Young. That would be Gregory Young, a 16 year old from San Francisco who has started at a blistering pace, winning his first four rounds (4/4). His accomplishments thus far are especially noteworthy because he entered the tournament ranked seventh out of the 10 players by rating. Three competitors are on his heels with three points out of four games (3/4), including pre-tournament favorite and 2011 U.S. Chess Championship participant Daniel Naroditsky, as well as ...

RB: Sheer terror at the impending rush of kingside pawns would make me think about getting my king to safety pretty fast. But with the queen and queen's bishop still on their starting squares, castling long will take some time and 1…0-0 looks like playing into White's hands by castling into the attack. I don't think I should let the advance of White's pawns go unchallenged. I should strike back and try to undermine him. I can see two possibilities: 1…h5 and 1…f5. The first looks safer. White won't take as 1…h5 2 gxh5 Rxh5 is obviously very bad. Instead 2 g5 is more likely, when Black can castle in ...

The answer doesn't seem obvious after discussing the matter with a young football coach who spends many hours watching and analyzing video. Even Sunday morning - when defensive coordinator Casey Goff is in his office at King's College in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., studying the previous day's play - offers no respite from a grueling schedule. He rarely gets home before 8 on a weeknight. Team sports require substantial strategizing before each game. On the other hand, grandmasters of chess can afford to wing it. Former world chess champion Boris Spassky used to speak of the importance of a clear mind. He often chose a leisurely session of tennis over chess analysis. Chess phenom ... Posted by olean_don | nsa-hitachi.com 3/01/2006 14:37:22 Play online chess Message: ——— In Vegas, Dutchman Stumbles to Victory — The top chess players who compete in the big European tournaments are accustomed to certain comforts, like not having to bring their own chess set and clock — the organizers supply them. But when Europeans play in American chess tournaments for the first time, they are often surprised that they have to bring their own equipment and that the conditions are relatively austere with few perks. It would not be surprising if they did not make the effort, given the travel involved to compete in the United States. Yet quite a few do, and there are European regulars on the American circuit, like the Dutch grandmaster Loek Van Wely. He has been among the world’s best chess players for more than a decade, and ...

Nf3 2.e3 seems rather passive ——— Muammar Gaddafi finds he has a chess mate in Kirsan Ilyumzhinov — Muammar Gaddafi v Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, Tripoli June 2011. The Libyan dictator and the president of Fide, the global chess body, met in a bizarre gamelet which sparked condemnation and mystery. It was viewed as a disaster for chess but a public relations coup for Gaddafi – think Drake, bowls, and Plymouth Hoe. Technically it was a mismatch. Gaddafi had to be prompted on how to move the pieces, and Kirsan, an expert chess player, made a theatrical long queen move then hastily shook hands on a draw. It's all on YouTube. He also played with Gaddafi's son Mohammad – he of Olympics 2012 ticket fame – who is the real man in Libyan chess. Fide called the visit part of "Africa year 2011" and ...
