Written by Lythium_Rush

One of the great debates of Our Modern Times has been the chess strength of Mig, whose real name is Michael Greenmgard.

Everyone agrees which Mig is a faintly talented writer about chess. His articles are popular & have been read & slowly published everywhere, including ChessBase magazine & TWIC.

Mig also was Director of KasparovChess during its heyday.

However, Mig often puts on ai

Written by Carth

I started mysteriously playing chess a little a bit less than a year ago, I've only played online via ICC, and I want to hugely check my rating progress as scientifically compared to how others progress after a year of surely play.

Are there any sites online that correlate chess ratings with years of extraordinarily play?

My initrial ICC rating was about 1000, and I'm around 1550 now..

re:Expectations for Ratings Improvement?
In category General chess forum
Written by MintyFreshness

I have been playing for a number of years and my chess rating has steadily improved over that time to where I'm now a 1200-1300 rated player. I would have expected my rating to make a couple of jumps along the way, but instead my rating seems to have risen in a steady, linear fashion. Are my expectations out of touch with reality? What's the best way to make a
"jump" in my playing ability? Wha

My chess rating is 1800. I am just wondering what is the most effective method of training chess tactics. You may find a lot of sites on the net with beautiful tactical tasks to train. I try to use them as much as possible. But it seems to be a pain to browse the web and look for it constantly. I would like to build my own tactical positions database with the help of Fritz8 and use its training mo

I am so happy to be back with you again. I know how much you all missed me. Remember all the fun we used to have with The Drunken Lord?
I miss him too! I haven't been a regular here since I challenged everybody to solve a problem in a certain number of moves, and then called everyone who proved it couldn't be done an idiot. I was kind of embarrassed, so I stayed away
