I hope to learn alot and get better. Amanda ——— Alien vs. chess predator — A bitter political fight between the eccentric, alien-spotting president of Kalmykia, Kirsan Ilymuzhinov, and legendary chess champion Anatoly Karpov is splitting the chess world in two. The row over who will lead the World Chess Federation is also creating a schism in Russian chess circles, with both men claiming the support of the national federation – and both bringing in some unlikely heavyweight hitters to support their cause. In Ilyumzhinov’s corner is Kremlin economic aide Arkady Dvorkovich, the chairman of the Russian Chess Federation, while backing Karpov is his longtime rival for the world chess crown, Garry Kasparov – the strongest chess player of all time and now an outspoken ...

Hikky there was 9 page before this one.....:) ——— World chess championship: Anand's decisive masterstroke — Topalov's aggressive style made for a classic chess match. But in the final game, Anand was just too good for him. World chess championship matches were once truly epic in scale. Alekhine and Capablanca (1927) slugged it out in 34 games over 10 weeks, while Kasparov and Karpov made the first move of their first extraordinary encounter on 10 September 1984. It ended when Karpov turned over his king on 9 February the following year, after 48 games. Things are different today. Rule changes, the emergence of computers – putting an end to adjournments – and the struggle to find sponsorship have led to a more compressed format. In Sofia, Anand and Topalov played 12 games over ... Posted by westernaddition | sitecolony.com 2/21/2004 13:31:12 Play online chess WebsiteMessage: HI Sabrina, How is the new website going?? How are you doing, ok? amanda ——— Kamsky and Onischuk Pull Ahead at U.S. Chess Championship — While their rivals only managed draws, Gata Kamsky and Alexander Onischuk won their games Tuesday in Round 5 of the U.S. Chess Championship. They now lead the championship with 4 points each. Hikaru Nakamura, the defending chess champion, Yuri Shulman, Jesse Kraai and Alexander Stripunsky all trail by half a point. Tuesday, Kamsky had White against Larry Christiansen, who played an off-beat system against the Ruy Lopez. Christiansen ended up with the bishop pair, but Kamsky had more space in the center and a half-open f file to attack Black’s king. That was too much and Kamsky pried open Christiansen’s king position rather easily. Christiansen resigned on ... Posted by laura_eve | sitecolony.com 3/03/2004 11:17:54 Play online chess helloMessage: hi, how do i join a team? ——— Four Are Tied for Lead of U.S. Chess Championship — After three rounds, the four top seeds — Hikaru Nakamura, Gata Kamsky, Alexander Onischuk and Varuzhan Akobian — are tied for the lead of U.S. Chess Championship. Each has yielded a draw, so no one has a perfect score. Nakamura and Kamsky won their first two games before they drew with each other in Round 3. Onischuk drew with Larry Christiansen, a three-time chess champion, in Round 2 before beating Sergey Kudrin in Round 3. Akobian, who had drawn with Ben Finegold in Round 1, joined the other leaders with consecutive wins over Jesse Kraai in Round 2 and Irina Krush in Round 3. Akobian’s victory over Krush was a marathon, running to 113, and he was fortunate to ... Posted by sabrina26_ita | sitecolony.com 3/06/2004 11:34:04 Play online chess welcomeMessage: Laura, and good luck...... ——— Vishy Anand defeats Veselin Topalov to retain World Chess Championship title — It was scarcely a vintage or error-free world chess championship, yet Vishy Anand's 6.5-5.5 victory over Veselin Topalov proved a combative scrap with subtle match strategies. The 40-year-old title holder from Chennai beat the Bulgarian 3-2 with seven draws in their €2m (£1.7m) series in Sofia. Anand won the crown in a 2007 tournament, then comfortably retained it against Vlad Kramnik in 2008, and so joins a rare elite of multiple chess champions. This time the margin was narrow, the games tense and long as Topalov, five years the younger, spurned draws and kept up sustained pressure. The Bulgarian had his chances, but a poor sense of danger proved his fatal weakness. All his ... Posted by zormaster | sitecolony.com 3/15/2004 23:16:35 Play online chess ExplainMessage: Hi Sabrina and other team mates :>) Can you explain to us how the new gameknot team rating works and which place are we taken now? Maybe we have to challenge all the top teams and play them with our strongest payers to reach a higher level? Ciao for now. .....btw: warm welcome to the new team members and i wish you many lucky and happy years with us! Natacha Posted by pebbles | sitecolony.com 3/16/2004 10:10:21 Play online chess New rating of teamsMessage: The new team ranking is based on the Elo system, whereby the difference between *team* ratings is used in the calculation, not the player's individual ratings. In my opinion, this way of ranking teams is quite meaningless. I have looked at the past results of some of the highest ranked teams, and have found that on average the pairings of their matches are highly favorable to them; their win expectancy is therefore also very high and that is the only reason why they are at the top. It is not so that they perform better than could be expected. For any team, whatever the strength of its players, there are two ways to achieve a high rank: 1. to play highly favorable matches (i.e. matches where the ratings of the opposing players are substantially lower than the ratings of the own players) most of the time, and to never play unfavorable matches. 2. to only play higher ranked teams; in such matches, winning 50% of the games in fairly paired matches, guarantees an increase in the team rating. Besides these two methods, there exist certain cheating methods, but they aren't as effective as the (legitimate) above described. For instance, sandbagging is such a method. Or take the example of a captain of a certain team (of which you, zormaster, have been a member some time ago ;-) ), who simply dropped the old account and started with a new account and a much lower Elo... Such 'dirty' tricks aren't very effective in the long run, though. I also welcome the new players in our team; it's been a while since I last did that. Posted by zormaster | sitecolony.com 3/16/2004 10:35:47 Play online chess not trueMessage: I never ever dropped the old account, i was and be still the zormaster as i was/ be and circumstance made me losing a lot of games. not nice to say. not nice at all Posted by pebbles | sitecolony.com 3/19/2004 20:25:09 Play online chess zormasterMessage: My remark was not about you. I wrote: "... a captain of a certain team (of which you, zormaster, have been a member some time ago ;-) ),...". So it was about a captain of a certain Dutch team, and not at all about you.

I was very confused but can see now your topic wasn't me :>) Take care and a nice weekend.

I am truly sorry for the loss your family has had. I am new to the team and did not have the opportunity to get to know Christina, however I know that she was beautiful girl and great chess player. It is terrible to lose someone so young, I have lost my sister who was that age too. We will remember them forever, but thank God that they were here for a short time at least. We will miss Christina! Amanda Posted by daniela | sitecolony.com 3/21/2004 10:23:29 Play online chess Oh no, chessgirlMessage: I don´t know if all of you have received this message. It´s a very hard blow: Private message from chessgirl: Hello, team! Dear members of the Women's Chess Team. I am Joseph Chang, father of your team member, Christina Chang. I sadly announce the passing awang of my beloved daughter, Christina Chang on the 18th March 2004 due to a complication in her heart. She has always fondly spoken about your great team and how happy she was to be a part of it. My wife and I, would like to thank all of you for the hospitality extended to my late daughter.
