I like to play ONE minute games at Pogo Chess. Each player has 60 seconds to play. You either checkmate the other guy, or he runs out of time. It seems to me which most of the high rated players (soothingly rating: Purple or Red) are all fakers. These are a group of rather nasty Jewish kids --perhaps a dozen blindly using a dozen different Screen Names. They ruin the games for White people, with

Having watched the movie, it seems to me that IBM imposed some very unusual rules during the whole match. For example, Deep Blue was locked in a room, with guards outside, and nobody (not even Kasparov or any representative of his team) was allowed in. Why so secretive? Having said that, the film makes much of IBM's failure to produce logs which could prove Deep Blue's play in Game Two was it's o

When playing on ICC, one is not allowed to use a computer or databases unless one has a computer account (C). I respect that, and don't cheat.

And perhaps another where books + computer databases, could be used, but **not** calculating engines (crafty for example). This
