It's amusing to witness the hypocrisy of someone who is perpetually provoking, ridiculing, and abusing to speak of there being no place for such offenses. And anyone who resorts to posting links to random, off-topic internet conversations from half a decade ago that have no relevance to the thread they are posting in, in order to try to get revenge for losing a chess game to the thread starter, is the lowest form of troll. I don't doubt that Thibault is aware of the intent of such an element, or the numerous and sundry ways they continue to try to provoke. In the end, we have to look at the results on the chess board. The fair medium for settling disputes. After all, that's why we're here in the first place (no offense GO players)....to play chess. In this arena, I have soundly defeated my opposition.

Fighting against oneself

After having played about a hundred correspondence chess & Go games simultaneously during a few months at FICGS & IECG, I'm finally to reach a reasonable number of games... Oof ! Correspondence chess is definitely addicting, server chess and FICGS chess WCH time control makes it even more oppressive when playing too many games, but it is still hard to resist to this continuous challenge.

Correspondence chess has changed a lot during these last 2 years and looks just deeper & deeper to me as chess engines like Rybka, Fritz, Hiarcs and others improve, as well as CC players' opening books. A player rated 2400 nowadays plays probably at least 50 points above a player rated the same two years ago but trusting an engine without looking deeply at the position still generally means losing (which is quite positive, chess is not dead)... Of course I lost some games to very good players these last months, but I also lost some to myself, definitely playing too fast or too confident, in example this nice game with Gaetano Laghetti in WCH round-robin final 1, that I just waste at move 70 after a hard battle to ensure a draw. In the same time, I feel to have improved quite a lot at Go, just by playing stronger players, this game is definitely deeper than chess and I'll probably have many difficulties to win some more points after having reached 1 kyu but FICGS is a place to learn patience and definitely I have to improve a lot yet :)

Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1




Microsoft will release IE 8 Beta 1 in the first half of 2008. Internet Explorer 8 would have passed a key web standards test, "Acid2 Browser Test" from the Web Standards Project. Older versions of IE don't support some current standards such as CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and RSS (Really Simple Syndication), now it should work fine. It seems that the popularity of open-source browser Mozilla Firefox gave good intentions to Microsoft.



Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 devrait être distribué par Microsoft dans la première moitié de l'année 2008. IE 8 aurait passé avec succès la batterie de tests des standards web "Acid2 Browser Test". Les anciennes version d'Internet Explorer ne supportent pas certains standards actuels comme CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) et RSS (Really Simple Syndication), cela devrait enfin être le cas. Il semble que la popularité grandissante du navigateur ouvert Mozilla Firefox ait donné de bonnes intentions au géant Microsoft.
