Back to forum Thibault de Vassal (2006-07-28 02:31:50) Blogs ! Everyday a new feature, I keep in the rhythm ;) You may have noticed this link ('see the players blog') at the top of the forum page. A new interface that simply looks like the forum, but built like a blogs website. You may want to relate your Chess life or Go philosophy, your games or whatever.. you can do it there. Like in the forum, links are automatically parsed. The html < br > tag to begin a new line. Comments by everyone are also available. Thibault de Vassal (2006-10-14 18:33:37) Chess and Go diagrams / Forum update A major update for FICGS forums (& blogs) ! Now you can insert Chess & Go diagrams in messages... (useful to submit chess problems, analysis and so on...) See the FAQ in help section - http://www.ficgs.com/help.html - for details, in example here is the position of the last game in the FIDE world chess championship between Veselin Topalov & Vladimir Kramnik, just before Topalov blunder 44. ...Rxc5 ?? ChessPosition (see diagram) Diagrams format is quite simple (see Help), please note only one diagram / position will be displayed per message. Also minor bugs (links, search functions) corrected... Thibault de Vassal (2006-10-27 19:37:08) Chess quizz :-) A chess quizz ? ... Feel free to post any funny question about chess.. :) 1/ Who said that : "At night Kramnik is in my dreams. I dream that he has accepted my offer for a return match in Sofia. Or that I make a long stroll with him in Moscow, after which we visit an expensive nightclub. The strange thing is that the two of us are the only visitors there." Ok, quite easy... The pressure should have been really high... :/ Solution - http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com Another one... May be interesting :) 2/ Who lost........ ? (question unfinished, just say your first thought :)) Marc Lacrosse (2006-11-24 09:27:56) completely unfair and thus impredictible The fact that the match conditions have been arranged on such unfair rules has two immediate consequences : - we already know for sure that Kramnik himself is sure that he could not succeed on a more fair ground - final result is unpredictible and probably already arranged beforehand Marc By the way the rules are really incredible. Just an example : not only does Kramnik have the final opening book of Fritz at home for preparation, but moreover he will have the right to see Fritz's opening book _during_ the games with the various moves that could be played by the engne according to the player's intended move, together with the associated statistics. so in the unfortunate case where Kramnik could not remember is home killer preparation he will have the various choices presented to his eyes during play. Pretty incredible ! and there are quite a dozen rules like that ... (including the right for Kramnik only to call for an adjournement with subsequent overnight computer- or fellow-GM-assisted analysis ...) For those who would like to have a look the complete rules are on Susan Polger's blog : http://www.susanpolgar.blogspot.com/ Marc Lacrosse (2007-01-19 17:19:28) Other forums that I visit daily A few other computer-chess-related ones : Winboard forum : http://wbforum.vpittlik.org/ WBEC Ridderkerk forum (associated with one of the most reknowned engines evaluation site): http://f27.parsimony.net/forum67828/index.htm CSS-forum (german): http://www.computerschach.de/forum/ Le Fou numérique (french): http://f50.parsimony.net/forum200321/ And a very nice yahoo group devoted to unorthodox openings : http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/UnorthodoxChessOpenings In another category I like the two following blogs where there are very lively daily discussions on every chess-related news : Susan Polgar's one : http://www.susanpolgar.blogspot.com/ Mig Greengard' daily dirt : http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt/ Marc Catalin Ionescu (2007-04-23 17:00:07) web link you're also on Susan Polgar's blog: http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/2007/04/anand-scored-17-wins-1-loss-and-1-draw.html Amir Bagheri (2007-06-30 14:02:02) Newsletter and Blog Recruitment I am trying to set up a Newsletter.

I've been dabbling with the idea that this line of the From's gambit may be losing by force. If someone can find an improvement for Black with some supporting analysis, I'd love to see it. http://chessmusings.blogspot.com/2008/05/from-night.html Jason Repa (2008-05-07 13:43:09) Lasker Variation of the From's Gambit [moderated : rule 11.1 Netiquette] My correspondence chess game with Marc-Eric Plante finally wrapped up after over a year. It was an interesting game, IMO, and I thought that Marc had made some improvements over what had been played before by Black, such as 10...Qe7!? (instead of the usual 10...Bf5). However, it's been my thought that the Lasker Variation of the From's gambit might, at the end of the day, be lost for Black with perfect play. I'm not sure of Black could have done anything different in this game. http://chessmusings.blogspot.com/2008/05/from-night.html
