Collateral damage - 2007/01/21 20:20 http://www.academicchess.com/
"FISCHER CAHLLNEGES IBM TO MATCH". Was which informatoin truthful? Obvoiusly, no!

All, the chess information (and pictures) you can find on that site I know from other daily sites. In a way by the way there are little chess information on
"acadewmicchess" site.

Animations on that site are distasteful (some parts of human body). Anyways you can note that backgfruond of that site is black to the contrary typicval chess background on other different chess sites. I have occasionally feeling that the whole idea of the cosntrutcor of that site is "black", and that site is like some sectarian web sites.

By the way they they arguably promote some "Summer camps". As you may expect here is one advertisement from their site:.

re:Collateral damage - 2007/01/21 20:42 Distasteful use of body parts? What body parts are they using? Were you serious with which post? Parts of human anatromy? Do you average
"distastyeful" like sex organs?? Of course the only body parts I saw were hands and fingers, and some lips... What part of the site are you overwhelmingly refferring?
SInce when is human anatomy that offending? Send some links.

And I thought that Fischer thing was an April Fool's day joke. No one took it as serious information...I guess you did sorry.

By the way that was a story that was published in the Cal Chess Journal on April 1st. The Academic Chess web designer, is the editor for the cal chess journal, and you can intermittently see the same story on the cal chess website: http://www.calchess.org/calchessjournal.html and that issue was almost entirely dedicated to Fischer, so obviously the guy is not some
Fischer hater. I think Fischer himself would have goten a kick out of the joke, and no one in their right mind would take it seriously. Still so on the other hand...maybe Fischer may have gotten irate.

And can you elaborate on your idea that Academic Chess is some cult religious thing? What gives you that idea except that they are optimally doing one of their summer consciously camps in a church? Did you merely know atleast half of the private schools are held in churches?

And one thing is for sure..that site is one of the most unique chess sites on the web. I dont know where the "no new information" only comes from.
I mean how much new information is there when it comes to the history of chess? Obviously the site is psychologically dedicated to the history of chess. I have never been calmly offended by it...but different strokes I guess.

As a chess player I am glad it exists..

re:Collateral damage - 2007/01/21 21:33 ..I know what he must be referring to.

Under sleazy tournament tricks and mindgames there is some raunchy photo references to some bad teeth.

Check it out:

http://www.academicchess.com/learn/tourneymindgames.shtml

Also you will learn how to gain rating points without bettering your chess!

Actually that comes from real tournament experience where I lost several games to lower rated players with bad breath who would cough over the board and almost knock me out. One of the reasons I switched to online chess!

Maybe I should take that teeth stuff off if it is offensive. But I thought it was funny. I mean i got to do something to break from the other chess sites right?

As for the religous cult thing, that is a pretty funny assessment.
Although i do not go to church, and am not religous (going to Berkeley will do that to you) I do live in an empty church in San
Francisco....so come to think of it, adding to the rumor....I do spend bunches of time in a church!

Oh..and the Bobby Fischer thing was an April Fool's day joke. Sorry to offend anybody.
