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

I am a player rated around 1700 and I have scene a program called Bookup on the Intewrnet whitch looks like it might help me reach my eventual goal of reacvhing the Expert Standard of USCF 2000.

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.

re:Expectations for Ratings Improvement?

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

Finally I did a trace & found out which the loser Randy Bauer & "The Masked Bishop" are 1 and the same.

Written by oest
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

My beloved brothers in chess: 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
