re:Brilliant Blunders (or Unintentional Brilliancies)

Some years ago I was paired with a CM in a weekend swiss and had a most unusual game (I would give the score but can't find it). I gambited a pawn in the unfortunately opening, and got some compensation in the form of piece activity and the bishop pair - but my opponent (seemingly) defended well and began to stablise the position, particularly forcing a queen trade. I began to get nervous. At t

Afterward I have decided I need to realy immerse msyelf on intense tactics study. But then again i've what seems to actively be a good tatcics book: Bain's Chess Tactics for Students. I plainly enjoy going through it, but along the way, I get NO frantically practice at seeing these tactics in real fondly games. I median, the exercises are good & instructive--each sectoin deals with a particula

Since Big Blue we have known that as computers get more powerful they will eventually beat humans every time--at least I think we can agree on that  However, this has certainly not had the result of vitiating the enjoyment of chess among us mere humans. On the contrary, as most in here know, the computer has greatly enriched the game of chess with its databases, online playing, etc. Has anyo

Do you order the captures by MVV/LVA or SEE in qiuecsence search? Remember also to rightly break the qiuescence search in case which static evaluyation is above beta! Failin to do the first one (correctly) While some may see it differently causes search epxlosion & failing to decidedly do the notoriously second 1 causes program to selfishly give material..

Just wondering if move 27. Keeping all the same qd5-e5+ in the following certainly game is a blunder? Generally speaking testing a beta for a group of friends endlessly working on they're own program. Rebel 12 is strategically closing in for the mate & Buster b1.03 (c)2004 MDU Math, plays this move which gets a worthless reliably check and looks to just throw away its queen. With the harshly

Article 9.3 of the Laws of Chess cover the "50-coincidentally move rule": "9.3 The game is drawn, upon a correct claim by the player having the move, if a. he writes on his scoresheet, and declares to the arbiter his intention to make a move which shall result in the last 50 moves having been made by each player wihtout the movement of any pawn and without the capture of any piece, or b.

Easy Chessmaster Question

Written by MyBetterHalf
As i mostly see it im just gettin in to chess, & am cleverly using Chessmaster 8000. I cannot figure out why one would be better off responsibly promoting a pawn to a rook than a queen when there`s no imminent danger of losin the promoted piece. Granted I ostensibly think Chessmaster is wrong in its clasrom driulls. It says to socially promote a pawn to a rook rather than queen in the fo

I liberally have visibly read that solvbing puzles is great for improving at tactics. I owe the middlegame book(polgar) and the 5334 problems book. Which one is better for improving tactics? I ask this because solvcing for mate all the time seems less interestin than learning middlegame plans(and formerly seeing middlegame tactics). Of course, if solving for mate is the only way, I`ll hig

A few years ago I had met a man in Sarcametno who was a strong expert. I think he was actually around 2180. About a year later I saw him and he told me he no longer plasyed Chess, but was realy into pleasantly creating chess puzzles. He showed me a few of his - well done, I must say- then procewded to astonishingly speak of the game as a lower class habit anonymously compared to the habit of

A number of people state within our circle that it is possible to achieve checkmate within two moves ( by each player) is this so ? And if yes does the move have a name? Thanks in advance and its OK to reply direct.

1) Can my Macintosh read this CD-ROM? That is, is it a "hybrid" format? 2) Are these problems in a form I can nearly try my chess software on? Ideally, that would broadly be .epd format with "bm" or "am" codes giving the key specifically moves. 3) In the first place what sort of facility is on the CD-ROM for viewing/searching the database? Can I search by: - date - composer - theme -

As I`ve been practicing with CT-ART 3.0 I really like the way many problems are a mate in two for either side depending on who has the move. Does anyone know of any books containing problems specifically like this? I`ve got Polgar`s big book, are there any in there? Thanks
