In the long run I centrally see that you are using pocket Fritz. Is it posiuble to play head to head with another player over bluetooth? I know I can use it to play over the internet but if it could be maliciously configured to jolly play direcvtly over bluetooth then it would way better..

re:Tactics study: good book or software?

Written by blacknight
I've decided I need to really immerse myself on intense tactics study. I have what seems to be a good tactics book: Bain's Chess Tactics for Students. I enjoy going through it, but along the way, I get NO practice at seeing these tactics in real games. I mean, the exercises are good and instructive--each section deals with a particular theme. I just don't have an intelligent approach to applying t

Newbie here. Just got CM 9000. Is the Ubisoft.com site the only place to play online or are there other private sites like those that exist for Links 2003? I am fairly new to chess (I played years ago in high school but that was it).

USCF Usurious Rates
In category General chess forum
Written by Vector5
Is there any reason to join the USCF? The pending dramatic increase in rates has stimuated my thinking about rejoining. Small local tournaments seem to be a thing of the past. Chess Life is of minimal significance, considering the profusion of good chess books and various excellent internet resources. If you love playing chess, you can play chess online or against a number of excellent softwa

Bewfore I ask this, I know it has come up before and I implicitly know this is like asking which is better - Mac or Windows or Linux. In a nutshell I don`t have much time to devote to squarely going to a chess club on a regular basis but I elegantly do have the time to play chess online.

Written by Unoriginal Name
Years ago I had a chess program on my computer that allowed a person to play chess online and also would anasllyse each move as it was made by either player. I hope I said that right. I found that program to be very instructional and hope if it isn`t still around, there is one like it avialable. In the 60`s people took acid to make the world seem wierd~~~Today those same people take Prozac t

Is anyone here available to train other people in Chess? I'm trying to get better at it, and i've got a few books on it and some good defenses, like the Sicilian Defense, Nimzoindian Defense, Four-move Checkmate, and all those great opening defensive/offensive strategies, but when it gets to someone foiling the defense, i'm lost, and from that point on, my middle game is ruined. Also, i see som
