Wikichess - Famous chess games !
An interesting update in Wikichess : It's now possible to enter, locate, watch (with the javascript viewer) and comment famous chess games move by move !
You can now analyze the Immortal game, entered as an example.
The program simply locates the last articles (that should be entered at the very last move of the games) which start with "End of game : "
ie - "End of fame : G. Kasparov - A. Karpov (Moscow)"
All feedbacks welcome.

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... :/

Threatened to kill the person
...in Moskow.
Unfortunately I inform, that --- [moderator : name deleted] from Ukraine promised to employ killers and to kill in Moscow the strongest chess player Igame - Sex God (2 place in rating Igame).
Sex God should play for command Igame against ficgs on the third board.
Sex God was against participation --- [moderator : name deleted] in match Igame – ficgs, because he supports addicts and played for a command which captain is the sick person and addict R2.
In Russia against a narcotism, including this illness a harm, however the command headed by addict R2, exists on Igame till now :(
As a result captain Igame, being afraid for a life and health Sex God has been compelled to exclude Sex God from a command.
Best wishes, Polina Stefanova (the leader of rating Igame)

Re:
I couldn't make any sense out of what this particular thread is about.
It sounds like "R2 D2 Computer Speaking". A space fight?!? Some "command" problems in Moscow?!? Some killers & narcotic addicts attacking some game & a god wannabe??!

Re:
Really? So a serious situation has arisen then? A matter for the police in Moscow to investigate probably.

Chessboard serial killer of Moscow
Source Chessbase - http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=4047
Guardian Unlimited: Along the leafy lanes of Moscow's Bitsevsky Park, Alexander Pichushkin was a familiar figure. The 33-year-old supermarket worker played chess under the trees and even invited his opponents for a drink afterwards. But yesterday Mr Pichushkin was in court accused of murdering 49 people and attempting to kill three more, a tally which would make him one of Russia's most deadly killers. According to the prosecution, Mr Pichushkin lured his victims, who were mostly elderly men, to a quiet part of the park. He then attacked them from behind with a hammer. Mr Pichushkin boasted that he had killed 63 people. He said he drew a cross on his chessboard after each murder. His plan to fill all 64 squares came unstuck in June 2006 when he went for a walk in the park with Marina Moskalyova, 36, a supermarket colleague.
Times Online: The prosecution claims that [Pichushkin] wanted to kill more people than Andrei Chikatilo, Russia’s worst known serial killer, who murdered 53 people. “He dreamt of surpassing Chikatilo and going down in history,” said Yuri Syomin, the Moscow prosecutor. The Russian press suggested last week that he would enter Guinness World Records by being charged with 62 murders. But in the event he was charged with only 52 killings over a five-year period. That compared with the 53 murders of women and children in the Rostov area of southern Russia for which Chikatilo was executed in 1994.

Time zones
I'm to add the waiting list, Go "freestyle" cup will be a 6 rounds swiss tournament... Chess & Go freestyle tournaments will occur at the same time. Rounds will start at 15:00, 18:00, 21:00 server time on 2 consecutive days.
Time zones are a problem for players from ie. New Zealand, but it should be ok for players from Moscow to New-York.
Time control will be 1 hour + 10 seconds per move.

to Don: re courtesy(contd.)
This is a continuation - to be precise, completion - of the post of mine earlier in this thread; the post titled 'Don, why is the tick box there, then?'.
I said in that post 'Some people are *not* courteous': and something stirred in my memory and I remember it now so It has to be said.
In the international chat box some months ago, I posted something about Goerge Orwell fighting in the Spanish civil-war - the anti-fascist-Iberian-uprising part of it, to wit - as part of P.O.U.M. - a marxist but independent-of-moscow (and soon crushed by Moscow) party which co-operated closely with the anarchists (CNT-FAI)(Confederación Nacional del Trabajo - Federación Anarquista Ibérica).
Well I only reached as far as the P.O.U.M. when *you* (Don Groves) interrupted by posting (in the international chat box) "what are you smoking, Normajean?"
Now, Mr Groves, I leave it to you to decide whether it is not *extremely* discourteous, not to say downright bloody rude, to innuendo that someone who [in fact] posted something above your intellectual level is therefore not making sense and is in fact on street drugs.
What I smoke or not smoke is my bloody business; the point here is that you are free to take the view find that all string-theory papers (just visit http://arxiv.org/) and so on are nonsense and therfore the authors and the referees are all on street drugs; and Hawkins and Penrose are, and Einstein was, on street drugs likewise (for it is commonly cranky *engineers* who tend to equate general relativity with its weak-field-limit/approximation);
But;
Since I haven't yet heard anything from you that has a hint of a modicum of apology for that *insulting* (or, on the least worst construction, extremely *partonising*) remark of yours; so:
People playing chess against you would be well advised to have clear rather than informal rules, because the evidence suggests that you are part of the 'be-gratuitously-rude' club.
In my opinion.
Thank you for reading this.

annotated games
The Wikichess rules state:
"To add a complete game in Wikichess, just enter all moves and a commentary at the very last move, starting with "End of game : ", in example...
End of game : G. Kasparov - A. Karpov : 1/2-1/2 (Moscow)"
So it seems it is possible to add any game.

Anand-Gelfand, FIDE World Championship
The next FIDE World Championship will be held in Moscow from May 10 to May 30, 2012.
Looks like reigning World Champion Viswanathan Anand is ultra-favourite... what do you think about Boris Gelfand's chances in this match?

This is Russia :(
Kasparov is a well-paid shill of the globalist power.
"Is Kasparov an anomaly or does he fit right in with this coven of far-right loonies? And who are some of the prominent members of the Center for Security Policy? Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, Frank Gaffney, James Roche and Laura Ingraham. Oh, boy. The whole front office of the neocon’s cuckoo’s nest. Now tell me, dear reader, with friends like that; what should we really think about Kasparov’s performance in Moscow? Is he really interested in "democracy promotion" as he claims or is their acting out a script that was prepared in Washington?"

Kievan Rus
Very likely? Yeah, to "democratic" and "objective" Western historians who re-write and falsify everything. :) I wish the above link was in English...
It's the eternal struggle of the "sea civilization" with "land civilization" (Mackinder's Heartland Theory).
"Moscow and Peter's town, the city of Constantine, these are the cherished capitals of the Russian monarchy. But where is their limit? And where are their frontiers to the north, the east, the south and the setting sun? The Fates will reveal them to future generations. Seven internal seas and seven great rivers from the Nile to the Neva, from the Elbe to China, from the Volga to the Euphrates, the Ganges to the Danube. This is the Russian empire and it will never pass away, just as the Spirit foretold and Daniel prophesied." - Fedor Tyuchev 1848

Is Bobby Fischer quite sane ? (Salo Flohr)
Chess is a terrible game. If you have no center, your opponent has a freer position. If you do have a center, then you really have something to worry about ! (Siegbert Tarrasch)
A great player and a great example for many. His book My 60 Memorable Games had a big impact on me. It is a shame he didn't continue to enrich the world of chess with his unparalleled understanding after 1972. (Jan Timman, about Bobby Fischer's death)
