Chess blog #1
Welcome to my Chess & Go blog :)
Chess is a long story since I discovered it (in russia), when I was 8 years old... Learning seriously for about 10 years, I began to play correspondence chess during summer 2004, simply because I live in a place (in France) where chess players are not so common.
I started to play Go in 2006, for about three months now. Undoubtly it will be a long road too. "Chess is life" said Bobby Fischer, so Wei'chi. Emanuel Lasker, chess world champion, recognized the extraordinary qualities of this strange game.
Go game requires and has all qualities that misses to Chess. It's amazing to see the simplest rules resulting in the most complex game ever. Go computers are still very far from top players whereas Rybka, Fruit, Shredder, Junior, Hydra (...) and other chess computers are superstars, with Deep Blue as a "world champion" undefending his title.
And what about Big Chess... The first "test game" is still running [game 1], a very complex game but it is already certain that pleasure is as greater as the board is bigger than classical chess one and I suppose my "main" opponent (Heinz-Georg Lehnhoff) would agree with that. Unfortunately Big Chess & Go are two games that also require a lot of time. Computers can't help and the number of moves in a single game reaches easily 200. Anyway... this is a correspondence games website, we have time !
If I had been told 4 months ago that FICGS would be this site today (graphical interfaces, move verification for all games, Wikichess, more than 600 registered players, a wikipedia like Chess & Go encyclopedia, now blogs and all other features already implemented...) I would have taken a rest and given up quite before to start :-)
And there are many things to do yet...
Have good games !
