Re: "idontknow" is a Dr. Greg Miller's creature.
I seriously think, after having read ALL previous messages posted regarding the above mentioned player, that "idontknow" is a creature purposefully created by Dr. Miller, since he is a scientist. I think it is something similar to Dr. Frankenstein's creature. I would appreciate any opinion about th...

Been tinkering with a free download called "Nagaskaki" I think its different than most and really does a few things useful to early players. The personalities move fast,and get better as you move up.

Chess players depicted as Nerds in High school, Ive thought they have parents that dont make them start trying in school until after graduating high school.

Anyone can input a move from a Prog at anytime, so its going to be trust, so I vote no. Reason being a Non Cent can play very well, Ive thought even may win against a "shill" inserting well anylyzed moves from Progs,who knows.. it's asking for more corruption. The only other thing popular is speed c...

Help with teaching?
Get them started with a tiny, tiny board.
They will think they can identify the
pieces, and learn to win a piece in a few

Well, IE works OK for what I do, are you sure yours is updated?. Also, when I look at others computers often they have numerous progs. running, and they do a whole days work before the darn thing even starts, (messenger services like yahoo and msn, often running at the same time) It could still be a...

I dont care if I lose in 2-10 min games anymore, as long as I know what happened, For a game to seem important You should play slow Chess. Ive gotten a vibe that some speed players are actually interested in belittling the game, I just play both, I can remember still some of the games still some pos...
