Keith~! as always.. ——— Chess Music — For absolutely no good reason, I found myself wondering what a chess game would sound like if played on the piano. One can’t help but notice that algebraic chess notation maps almost perfectly to scientific pitch notation… The eight columns of a chess board correspond to the eight audible octaves. E.g., C4 is a middle square on the chess board and C4 is “middle C” on the piano… NOTATION: I know what you’re thinking: the diatonic scale has seven notes “A” through “G,” but the chess board goes up to “H.” So how can we overlay chess notation with pitch notation? Fear not! We’ll simply use the Northern European system of musical notation, where ...

A whole breed of chess players who've learned the game from computers. Opponents who often call him 'uncle' before building fierce attacks on the board. And 20-year-old chess prodigies like Norway's Magnus Carlsen, with whom he's in constant battle for the world No. 1 ranking. If that isn't enough, the reigning world chess champion, who's virtually patented the term 'whiz kid', now ironically has to battle the ravages of middle age. Life in the 40s, Anand knows, is challenging. "I've been called 'uncle' sometimes! It's amusing but what's interesting is that the sport of chess is getting younger. I understand that I have to work hard to ... Posted by astinkyfart | sitecolony.com 3/11/2004 19:49:14 Play online chess OK BEFOREMessage: THIS THREAD VANISHES IM GOING TO POST AGAIN. I DONT KNOW IF ANYONE IS PAYING ATTENTION BUT WE HAVE HAD A LITTLE SLIDE AS OF LATE (ALTHOUGH I THINK TODAY WE DID GOOD) IM TRYING REALLY HARD TO GET SOME OF THE PLAYERS IN THE NEGATIVE SOME GOOD MATCHES. I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THEM OUT OF THE NEGATIVE AND I STILL BELIEVE THIS IS POSSIBLE. EVERYONE JUST KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND PLAY HARD. I HOPE TO PLAY BETTER SOON AS OF LATE I AM JUST HORRIBLE! WELL NUFF SAID.. GO BOUTNY HUNTERS! ——— Chess: The patience of Anand — The world chess champion might have rushed his attack, but his gradual squeeze gave him the upper hand. Ponomariov-Anand, Wijk aan Zee 2011. White has just played 1 Qc6-c8. How should Black reply? We rejoin the game from last week, but a few moves further on. Anand has improved his position, notably on the kingside, and remains in control. How can he make further progress? RB: Last week it occurred to me that Ponomariov's queen looked locked in on the queenside, but I couldn't see a way to trap it. Some moves further along, the idea seems even more attractive. What happens if I play 1...Rf8...? Hmm, White has ... Posted by flyerguy1012 | sitecolony.com 3/11/2004 20:41:23 Play online chess Hey captainMessage: you always suck......what's this as of late crap????.........heh ——— Chess Puzzles: King Tut in Studies — Last week we invoked memories of King Tut, presenting two chess compositions in which the black king is mated, surrounded by eight black pawns. You can find the solutions at the end of this column. This week we present a slightly different "King Tut motif. " Entombing the king in chess studies is usually done at the edge of the chessboard and often leads to spectacular stalemates. It can save draws in tournament games. Puzzle #1: A simple king tomb was created by the Austrian chess master, theoretician and writer Johann Berger in his important work on endgames, Theorie un Praxis der Endspiele, published in 1890. Johann Berger White draws Posted by astinkyfart | sitecolony.com 3/13/2004 13:37:19 Play online chess h.o.w.Message: has timed out on three games. all his opponents were given a chance to accept a draw. some were kind enough to accept this offer. some were not. my feelings on this will get me banned if i express them here! ——— For One Teenage Chess Champion, Moscow Is a Charmed City — Le Quang Liem startled the chess world last year when he won the top section of the prestigious Aeroflot Open in Moscow. He was 18 and had just entered the top 100. The victory earned Le Quang an invitation to the Sparkassen Chess Meeting tournament in Dortmund, Germany. There he showed that his performance in Moscow had not been a fluke by finishing second. By September, he was ranked No. 41 in the world. His fall came just as quickly, first at the Chess Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia, where he struggled, and then at the Asian Games in Guangzhou, China, where he lost all but one of his games. Le Quang, who is from Vietnam, began 2011 ranked No. 79. Last week, ...

At move 44 agram forked how's king and rook, leaving a queen and bishop vs bishop endgame in agram's favor. The game with serkan00 was at move 9. The game with krejci could be drawn.

Also, I have been going mad looking for a "checkbook" style portable chess set for analysis on the internet. I found several and I really like the ones put out by ChessMate, but they're too expensive for me. Oh, I'll probably end up ordering one of the cheaper ones I found. I just wish I could find such sets in the stores here. Well, I am rambling on about nothing...just didn't want to, you know, say I'm saving this thread and that's all. Posted by ctrl-reset | sitecolony.com 3/26/2004 08:20:25 Play online chess Sorry...Message: I am very sorry. I timed out in 30 games and I think some team games might be in there but most of them were league games - I missed the deadline by half an hour. My rating has dropped from 14xx to 11xx. So captain, to make it up, please give me team games that can take advantage of my drop in ratings. Sorry team. -Ctrl.

He is banned probably because on his computer he has my account, his and a friend of his who dropped in once (just once) to check whether his account was working. So, flyguy, kennethg says "Best of luck in our current game and dont kick my a**" -Ctrl. Posted by trond | sitecolony.com 3/26/2004 11:28:10 Play online chess ctrlMessage: I noticed your drop in rating ealier today. Only one of your timeouts was a team game, so your drop in rating will more than make up for it :) How do you manage to keep up with 100 games in parallel?? If I get over 30 I start to get problems.

Flyerguy, he still cant respond :) Anyone knows how gameknot tracks how many players log on from a particular computer. If Mike doesnt want to help, maybe we can do something to clear the list of multiple userid's on a particular machine. -Ctrl. Posted by trond | sitecolony.com 3/27/2004 08:20:44 Play online chess My guess...Message: about how Mike is tracking players from the same machine would be cookies. If two players are already registered as playing from the same computer, I think it's too late to do anything about it (I believe Mike stores the information in a database). But if several users are accessing GK fro the same computer it would be wise to delete all cookies before and after letting your friend(s) use your computer to log on to GK.
