I'm the moderator of the Fischer Random Chess email Club (FRCEC) and I'm always looking for sites in the net that support Chess960, to promote them in my club, and to use to coordinate Chess960 events. To visit FRCEC got to: http://frcec.chess960.info/ Jose Carrillo Jose Carrillo (2006-04-11 23:28:13) Chess960 Challenge I'm new to the site, and learning how to use it. Anyone interested can challenge me to a Chess960 game. Thanks. Carlos Guzman (2006-04-12 06:30:26) CARLOS GUZMAN HOLA: Jose Solo queria saber de donde eres ?, Yo soy de Santa Isabel, Puerto Rico Jose Carrillo (2006-04-12 22:11:38) Otro Boricua! Tambien soy puertorriqueno! Soy original de Trujillo Alto, pero actualmente vivo en Canada. Paul-Iosif Guralivu (2006-04-17 18:31:35) What about my name! My name in english would be translated like this: Talkative Paul-Joseph... If I were a american, would you let me join ? Jose Carrillo (2006-05-01 01:34:24) Other Chess960 opening positions Thibault, When will other Chess960 openings be available? In FRCEC, we prefer to run tournaments where every game in the tournament begins with a different opening position. It avoids repetition. Let see how this tournament develops. Cheers, Jose Jose Carrillo (2006-05-03 00:19:03) Repetition??? Why? It defeats the purpose of Chess960. Everyone in the tournament is just playing a Chess960 game, not the same opening position. Using the same opening position simulates a regular chess tournament (i.e. repetition). Anyway, at least it should be an option to have differnt opening position per game in the same tournament. It's more in line with the "purpose" of Fischerandom Chess. Jose Carrillo (2006-05-05 00:25:09) Start positions In FRECC santioned events, we rather have each board be different within the same tournament. It favours even more creativity when each board is different, and no one can look at another board for ideas. Look at a sample FRCEC tournament: http://frcec.chess960.info/FischerCup.htm Jose Carrillo (2006-05-05 00:32:18) Chess 4000 ? Forbid what unusual (non-sense) move? Castling? Chess960 was meant to be the bigger picture, where regular chess is just one of the openings. Regular chess has castling and so does Chess960. About Chess 4000, without King placement restrictions, and without castling... Sure... I'm sure there are players that will play it. There are hundreds of chess variants. Some more popular than others... In FRCEC we only play Chess960, the bigger chess picture! Jose Carrillo (2006-05-05 00:34:33) Re: Update - Chess 960 Excellent news! How do I set up a one game match against somebody? Thibault de Vassal (2006-05-05 15:36:17) 2 players matches Hello Jose ! That is not possible yet. There's no players enough to create other tournament categories.. The delay before tournament start could increase significantly. Jose Carrillo (2006-05-05 18:37:09) Re: 2 players matches Don't we need only 2 players for a two-game match? Why do we need to create a whole tournament? I'm only interested in playing one other player. Are all the games in FICGS tournament based? Are there no individual matches? Jose Carrillo (2006-05-05 18:51:43) Tournament reccomendation Try a round robin + Page system playoffs. Round 1: Round Robin (as many players as you want) Final Round: Page System Playoffs: Top 4 players in the Round Robin qualify for the quaterfinals: 1st place vs 2nd place 3rd place vs 4th place Winner of 1st-2nd gets bye in semi-finals, and moves on to the finals. Loser of 1st-2nd plays in semi-final round Winner of 3rd-4th playes in semi-final Loser of 3rd-4th gets eliminated. Winner of semi-final plays in the final. Jose Carrillo (2006-05-11 00:09:47) Re: Qualifying The top 4 players in the round robin qualify for the quarterfinals. The beauty of this system is that the #1 and #2 players in the round robin have a 50% chance of going to the final (they deserve it too! as they finished top 2 in the round robin). The loser of the 1st-2nd match still has a chance to go to the finals if he wins the semi-finals. This system prevents lower ranked 3rd and 4th players in the round robin to knock out in one round the top players of the round robin. If you play the round robin to win (and finish 1st or 2nd) you are rewarded for the finals. There is still the possibility of the 1st and 2nd place in the round robin to play in the final match. If you just play to finish 3rd or 4th, you have to fight your way to the final. There will never be a 3rd vs 4th final match, something very well possible in a knock out tournament. Thibault de Vassal (2006-05-12 07:39:04) Re: Qualifying + Banned players Hello Jose. You said : "There is still the possibility of the 1st and 2nd place in the round robin to play in the final match." Actually this is the case, 1st and 2nd qualify for the next stage. How your system works for a 3 stages round-robin tournament cycle ? We can't add 2 extra-stages to designate who qualify from each round-robin tournament... Hello Trent. There are 3 players who unregistered (not banned), they still appear in the WCH waiting list but they will be automatically removed when building groups. Jose Carrillo (2006-05-13 00:28:45) Re: Qualifying In a Knock out you can have 3rd vs 4th in the final. In the Page system you can't. It's just a matter of whether you want to acknowledge the top players in the round robin. In the page system ONLY the top four players in the round robin qualify for the playoffs. Look at the Page system in practice in the Gligoric Cup tournament that we are running in FRCEC at: http://frcec.chess960.info/GligoricCup.htm Thibault de Vassal (2006-07-23 19:54:58) Chess thematic tournaments Hello to all. The 7th chess thematic tournament (waiting list is open) may be a very interesting challenge... The opening : 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.d4 Ng8 3.e4 Nf6 4.Nc3 Ng8 Is it a lost position or not, you can try to respond ! (it is at least very hypermodern style, but is there a name for such a manoeuvre ? :)) There are many other ideas of openings, but you can make suggestions for future thematic tournaments.

The inscriptions were made according to playing not more than 12 games. Thibault de Vassal (2006-08-02 20:36:00) Chess WCH waiting list Hello José Antonio. Players who had not entered chess wch waiting list before July 1st (start of the 1st wch) can do it before August 15, in order to start more tournaments (july was a bit early to start). Most players who entered it lately already play in new groups or have replaced players who didn't make a single move in their games (and lost on time). If this is the point you're talking about, it's difficult to consider a game without a move has been really played. Replacements (particularly players rated 1200: beginners) allow to low rated players to enter this 1st WCH tournaments cycle, otherwise new groups wouldn't have the necessary rating average. Finally, everyone play a 6-games tournament in this first round. So, why 12 games ? Maybe I did not understand well... :/ José Antonio Marín Millán (2006-08-02 22:44:12) Thanks for the answer Thanks for the answer. He thought that all the players when following including in the waiting list were going to be including in a new group. I understand that single a group of 7 players in this First WHC gambles warm Greetings Thibault de Vassal (2006-10-31 10:54:18) Go : pro game videos on Youtube An incredible mistake in a Go game by a professional 9p player. Pressure is high too :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj58O_qHBAU "The player of the Black stones was Nakano Hironari 9p and the White stones were played by Ishida Yoshio 9p of joseki dictionary fame. This is part of a broadcast of a game from a TV tournament in Japan. The announcer who comes on in the middle says that there isn't time in the program to show the whole game so they are skipping to the end." From GoDiscussions forum : http://www.godiscussions.com/forum/showthread.php?t=732 Josef Riha (2006-11-20 09:38:38) Wikichess Hallo Thibault, I have also a question about Wikichess. I never entered any move or comment, neverthless my name appears in many of the lines under Contributors. Why?? Greetings, Josef. Josef Riha (2006-11-20 16:34:19) Re: Wikichess Oh, thanks, I was blind :-)) Thibault de Vassal (2007-03-14 17:00:55) Elections in France :-) A small thread about politics (could be interesting), just curious about what people from the whole world see and hear about elections in France, that will start in about 40 days from now..... The news that Jacques Chirac will not try to be re-elected has been relayed everywhere, but what about the election itself ? One more time opinion polls could influence the way people will vote and create a surprise at the end of the first "round"... So just curious, who did you hear about among them : Nicolas Sarkozy, Ségolène Royal, François Bayrou, Jean-Marie Le Pen, Marie-George Buffet, Dominique Voynet, Olivier Besancenot, Arlette Laguiller, José Bové, Philippe de Villiers, Nicolas Dupont-Aignant, Frédéric Nihous ? And last but not least, any predictions ? :-) Thibault de Vassal (2007-03-26 18:59:43) How Politics Imitates Chess Garry Kasparov is probably not a philosopher, however it is not obvious to me that Chess Imitates Life, as (you said it) there's nothing bigger than life... Chess is a part of life. On the contrary, we could say life imitates chess because some decisions, sometimes, can be reduced (as far as possible) to chess strategies like reality can be reduced to science. The same, How Reality Imitates Science makes sense to me, whereas How Science Imitates Reality doesn't. "How politics finally does not imitate Chess" by Garry Kasparov should be much more interesting :-) .. with a preface by Vladimir Putin : "How life doesn't imitate politics" :> In France, the election sometimes makes me think to a.. more than chess, a Go game... I think Nicolas Sarkozy uses some chess(Go)-like strategies and knows openings/Joseki & tactics best. At least he may know very well the work of Arthur Schopenhauer : "The world as will and representation" & "L'art d'avoir toujours raison". In comparison, Ségolène Royal and other candidates seem to use faith and "religion". Anyway, the result should be quite the same as life doesn't imitate politics much nowadays :/ Thibault de Vassal (2007-03-28 20:06:16) Wiki Go ? As there isn't much space in the chat bar, we could discuss here the idea of a WikiGo (for Joseki ?!)... I'm not convinced it could be useful yet, as the tree of the game is too large but just waiting to be convinced :) Don Groves (2007-03-28 21:13:12) WikiGo? Not just for joseki but for Go theory at all levels.

I apologize to the players who couldn't play :/ .. 25 boards was not enough this time. To build FICGS team I selected players with the highest ratings but one cause his rating should be clearly >2000 already. Also IM Mark Noble plays at table 6 because his opponent is another FIDE IM.

Hello Don, simply click on the target field and the move is take back. Greetings, Josef. Thibault de Vassal (2007-09-20 12:21:28) One more thing... Hi Don, I'll add an explanation about this below the form... As said Josef, you just have to click once more on the board to reload the page. About the clock in My games, should I understand that you never used this page before, after one year playing at FICGS ? :) Don Groves (2007-09-21 04:33:39) One more thing (again) Josef escrit: "Hello Don, simply click on the target field and the move is take back." Hello, Josef, and thanks for the tip! Thomas Tamayo (2007-10-02 18:14:11) Chess & Go Terms I needed to look up these terms as I'm not familiar with chess, but no... there's no direct equivalent. Zugzwang might be "time to resign" in Go, but typically tenuki (playing elsewhere) can get you out of situations. "Joseki" might be on-track (a fixed sequence of play), but still isn't very close. Zeitnot is simply "overtime" in Go. Go is played on a longer time frame. Although time pressure can exist there's no special word for it. Don Groves (2007-10-10 00:59:50) Cracking Go? As I've pointed out before, unlike Chess, the Go board can be made larger without seriously affecting the game for human players. Making the goban 23 by 23 (Big Go?) would multiply the number of possible games by 3.74e+50 and render brute force algorithms ineffective once again. This would also stimulate Go research as new fuseki and joseki would need to be discovered. Sadly, the day will come when the computer will dominate Go -- and every other human endeavor, except maybe for sex ;-) Thibault de Vassal (2007-10-11 12:43:33) pinot noir, knowledge & 9x9 I agree with that :) Don, I mean 9x9 should be compared to checkers, it is "chess" at a size where brute force is enough, so a 'particular case' only. But just like Rybka/Hiarcs playing at master level even thinking a few seconds per move by imitating (knowledge + algorithm) an international master's way of thinking more than calculating trillions of positions, why not a Go engine built the same way, much more complex though. Actually Go engines do not calculate much, they try to 'see' already but sure these programs will be improved significantly soon and it could play about the same level (without joseki databases) on different goban sizes. I feel a Go engine could reach a 1 dan / 2 dan level on our small computers, whatever the size of the goban... But it should be incredibly harder to beat stronger players, which is great for Go :) Joseph Thomas (2007-11-04 04:19:15) Deep Shredder 11 There seems to a good amount of improvement in engine strength. I have a copy of Shredder 11 UCI, but I haven't had it long enough to really test its strength on my own. Apparently according to the CCRL it cracked the top five programs and should be about equal to Zappa Mexico. I wonder where Fritz and Junior 11 will end up? Josef Riha (2007-12-24 10:41:20) Merry Christmas... ...to all members, especially my opponents, of FICGS.com.

Josef Riha (2008-09-29 19:32:36) Hallo Wayne, it's a little difficult, I believe. Start Fritz and then change to the Database(the very right icon in the iconbar). Then click New Database. In the dialogue enter the name, e.g.: FICGS.cbh and open it. Remember the directory displayed at top. Now go to your ficgs site and download your games in that directory. After this load one game after the other and save them as New Game. That's all. Wayne Lowrance (2008-09-30 00:14:59) ownloading ficgs games thank you Josef. My problem is I see no way to download ficgs games, that is my problem, the rest of the stuff i know. wayne Josef Riha (2008-09-30 02:17:46) Re: ownloading No problem, at the bottom of each game you find a link to download(after the two enter fields for comments). Wayne Lowrance (2008-09-30 03:13:54) copy games Thank you so much Joseph. I followed your instructions. I was able to copy a game, but again when I ried to place it in mydatabase it just didnt happen. Thank you Wayne Josef Riha (2008-09-30 09:01:07) copy games No problem :-) Very dubious! I've done this several times and it works. After loading the .pgn file into the GUI you must change to your database and in that window click on the 'add game' icon(I don't know how it is written in the English version). A dialogue appears where you can edit some datas. With OK it is saved. I hope you don't misunderstand my extensive description:-) An easier way is to create a new game and parallel to FICGS you enter the moves done by you and your opponent. Greetings, Josef. Josef Riha (2008-10-30 10:38:45) Quick chess Hello Scott, I agree with your idea. Hope that others do so too. There are 4 results for Jose in wikichess. Thibault de Vassal (2407) Nf3 The Réti Opening (also called the King's Knight Opening) is a chess opening characterized by the opening move 1.Nf3 It is named after Richard Réti, a Czechoslovakian chess player who used it to defeat the world champion José Raúl Capablanca in 1924. According to ChessBase, out of the twenty possible opening moves, 1.Nf3 ranks third in popularity. It develops the knight to a good square and prepares for a quick castling. White maintains flexibility by not committing to a particular central pawn structure, while waiting to see what Black will do. The slight drawback to the move is that it blocks the f-pawn. This is not a problem if White does not intend to move it in the near future, but it rules out the possibility of playing systems with f3 and Nge2, which is a fairly popular setup against the King's Indian. Usually 1.Nf3 will transpose into an opening with 1.d4, such as the King's Indian or the Queen's Gambit. If White follows up with an early c4 a transposition to the English Opening may be reached. Even the Sicilian Defense may be reached if the game opens 1.Nf3 c5 2.e4. According to Chessbase, white chances are about 57% ============ Contributors : Thibault de Vassal Thibault de Vassal (2407) e4 e5 f4 exf4 Nf3 d6 The extremely popular Fischer Defense (planning h6 and g5 but only rarely Bg4, a natural-looking but often weak move that beginners play too early) is complicated and subtle. After Bobby Fischer lost a 1959 game at Mar del Plata to Boris Spassky, in which the Kieseritsky Gambit was played, he left in tears and promptly went to work at devising a new King's Gambit defense. In a 1962 article titled "A Bust to the King's Gambit" he put forth this idea and claimed that it refuted the King's Gambit, which was clearly not the case. The article concluded with the famously arrogant line, "Of course white can always play differently in which case he merely loses differently." Nonetheless, the article was possibly the most influential ever written about an opening, and ever since the King's Gambit has been rare in Grandmaster play, though a few players such as Joseph Gallagher still use it. ============ Contributors : Thibault de Vassal Mike Hoogland (1764) d3 I have seen this move twince. it is a very good move for people that want to play whit black but dont have them.
