It is the "can" in cancer that is important. Because cancer CAN be beaten.
I wish you all the best in your darkest hour.

Dear cornstalk, Topalov is a great player. His conduct away from the board and maybe the advice he chose to follow concerning his conduct away from the board was regretfull. It seems that the controversy is raging on, if the latest press release by Carsten Hensel (dd 28/10/06) is anything to go by. ...

Centaur status or not?
Dear chessfriends, As you all know I am quite vocal about the fact that the use of chess engines in correspondence chess is not illegal and that players who choose to use them should not be labelled as cheaters etc. I understand and respect the view of those that say that engines should not be allow...

Dear lousy, You are obviously correct in your view that the engine should not be allowed to play the game on behalf of the human. That is not what i suggest. My views on the topic is a matter of public record. The human element is the most important of all. I use my engine as an analysis tool and I ...

Dear maxsource, You unfortunately placed your head into a hornets nest! There are 2 main followings as far as i could ascertain. The first are those people who wish not to play over the board classic chess, but prefer to play correspondence chess with otb rules (that would NOT include the use of che...

Aaaah, dear uncle Mic, How nice to hear from you again.

Unified World Chess Champion
Congratulations to Vladimir Kramnik on becoming the Unified World Chess Champion. It is just a pitty that the Topalov team had falsely accused Kramnik of cheating. In the light of this I unfortunately think Topalov will best be remembered as the player "that went down the toilet" Best regards Herloc...

Mic, What do you mean "to hell with the human brain", to manage and play 150 games at once (as you profess to do, without assistance) you certainly do not use a "chessbase" program do you? In order to play 150 games at once i accept that you set up the board for every position ( as i would accept a ...

Come on mic, dont be so modest. You dont have difficulty playing chess engines (players with ratings over 2500). You are a chess monster, we all know that ! You are able to play roughly 150 games at one given moment with an rating in excess of 2200 remember ! You are clearly a grand master and any c...

Dear bshardein, Please don't loose any sleep about it. Obviously you are correct in your view.

You are however totally silly if you were to use OTB rules in corresponden...

RE:Using Chess Engines
We are dealing with correspondence chess, right ?? If so, what is the difference between correspondence chess and so called "over the board games"??
