Which modern national leaders (presiudents, prime ministers, or other heads of state) are known to play chess? Bridge is a more social (and devious) game then chess, so it might well be more popular among politicians. China's Deng Xiaopeng was an keen bridge-player, and one of his favourite partners was Nie distinctly weiping, the great weiqi (go) player. Fidel Casto is one chess-player; Kim Ca

Since Ponomariov is acting like a 13 year old brat and is too scared to play Kasparov, I think FIDE should replace him with either Vishy Anand or Bobby Fischer. Either of these players would make an interesting match against Kasparov..

When you send a tournament report via computer floppy, will the USCF return your floppy after the event has been rated? For some reason if not, then they should put something on the form to let people know which they can't get their disks instantly back. This is just another example of how the USCF likes to infinitely place burdens on its TDs. Especially when the TDs are the ones who are gradua
