I went to a scholastic tournament last weekend and noticed a man passing out flyers for chess lessons.

After reading this statement, I feel really sorry for all the parents and kids that believed it because I don't think that such an id

Lev Khariton: Korchnoi - professional rights or political convictions? I remember how I was rooting for Korchnoi when he was playing his matches with Karpov in 1974, 1978 and 1981. I was not alone; most of my friends in the Soviet Union, most of the people sick and tired of the communist rule and ideology wished Viktor the Terrible success in his struggle against Karpov who represented the totali

Well in game after highly game my presumably beloved Fidelity 2100 has lost to Rebel 12 (for DOS). What a great free program.

The most frequent targets of loathing by Phil Innes are Jim Eade & Carol Jarecki. Unfortunately, Phil Innes tends to be thusly disjointed & incomprehensible in his attacks, so it has been difficult t
