Bill Goichberg is a well known tournament organizer. But Bill does have
a checkered past. He did many illegal things to advance CCA. I'm going
to expose Bill soon because he's now against me. He wants to vote to
recall my election victory. He thinks I'm immoral. I'll take down

Hans Kmoch once told me that Alekhine was so fearful of Lasker that he
avoided playing in any tournament with him from 1924, when Lasker, 54, won
the great New York Tournament, until Lasker was in his late 60s.  Records
seem to bear this out.

Jeremy Silman advises against making threatening moves hoping your
opponent will miss the threat, but the World Champion missed a one move
mate.  So I'm rethinking this advice.  If the WC can miss a one move
mate, who knows what my opponent might miss?

I'm a hobby chess player, around 1100, maybe less, maybe more a little
bit.
I want to improve up to 1800 (or more if it's possible, I just want to
keep my target realistic).

over the years I have managed to collect a number of chess variant sets
including:
Shogi (Bird, Chu, Tai, regular, and others)
Chinese chess

Overlook a mate in one?  I suppose one of those cases where a guy just
crosses moves in his mind and not the board.  ...Kg8 is dead equal.  I
guess Kramnik played that move in his mind and then oops!!!!

I was just reading the blurb advertising Chess Cafe's monthly special.
It's "How to Think in Chess" by IM Jan Przewoznik and Marek Soszynski.
Chess Cafe credentials the latter as a "a trained professional
thinker".

Rec.games.chess readers may be interested to know that today marks
the 68th anniversary of the great AVRO tournament, which concluded on
this date in 1938 in Amsterdam, Holland. This was the strongest
tournament ever in chess history to that date, with the world's best

Chess attracts me, I am so passionate about the game. I can tell you
the history of every piece and master. It is possibly the perfect game,
the best game. I feel so strongly about it. Yet I cannot play myself
out of a paper bag. My abilities fall short of my emotions of the game.
