Works nice with Firefox and Sage. Super improvement Greg.

Well the new content tracking software at work has finally blocked net-chess. Funny thing is it blocked it as a criminal hacking site.

Good thing is if you type in www.slowchess.com in the address bar you get right in.

Hack the world.

Okay 1 Nxg6. Then follow up with 2 Bxf7. That should win a rook and pawn for a knight.

ghorn

Mistake like I always seem to make. Not looking hard enough.

ghorn

For 29a 1...NxP you at least get something and save the rook and queen for now.
29b I like better. 1BxP if 1...Kh8 2BxR; if 1...Kf8 2Ne6+; if 1...QxB 2QxQ KxQ 3 Nd5 dis ch allowing a knight fork.

It may be the time and date in system BIOS is not correct. If it is wrong set right and watch it for a while. If it changes month and year the battery on the system board may be dead. On most it is a common watch battery and easy to replace.

1:Ra8+ KxR 2:Rc8++ Sorry I could not find a mate on whites first move. Easy mate there though.

I have often wondered why there is no inactive list for this site. There are users out there that have not logged on since 2001. If they ever log back on it would seem to be easy to make them active again. We just did a clean up on our equipment and parts data base for items not ordered in 2 years. ...

Hey Zapper I am using SCID. After getting all my games on screen I used edit to select all. Then pasted it to notepad. In notepad I got rid of all the timeout games to opp. resigned and saved the whole as a .pgn file and SCID has a program to convert that file to one it can use. Seems to work well. ...

I was in 6th grade when I last read the rules. Was the part about check ever in the rule? Or was I misinformed by some of the people teaching me to play and just added their mistake into the rule?

Yes there is a rule. I think it states a draw can be claimed when 50 moves (I think they mean move pairs) have been made without a pawn move, capture, or check being given. It may have changed since I last read the USCF rules.

You must not have seen the replies to your post about ratings. Your rating does not change till you complete 8 games. Your rating is provisional till you complete 20 games. I haven't change my profile in a while for the board or the chess site; last I did they worked fine.

ghorn

Nothing was said about the ratings on this site. I used my information as an example because this site has the same information I need to work with except it deals with chess. We are trying to work up approximate ratings for our table tennis club. We have two players who are rated ( I did not know t...

ghorn

Thanks for the fast reply. I realize it is not accurate, but all I needed was a close answer. Seems I had it pretty close with my estimate.

ghorn

I dislike counting on a CRT screen an have wondered if a field for number of active games could be added to user information.

ghorn

Is there a simple way to determine from the your oppenents average rating and your game record (win/lose/draw percentages) a rating in line with those percentages from the ELO formulas? I tried to work it out for myself and got 2 different results 1815 and 1835. I used my stats in user info for this...

ghorn

Greg please remove my rating floor.

ghorn

I think you are requesting to adjust a piece. The word is adjust.

ghorn

Are there other variations of chess they play online? I am talking about variations based on chess as we play here. Although I would not mind finding a go Shogi site or site were they play the Korean form of chess.

ghorn

I think your rating does not change till you finish 8 games. Your rating is provisional till you finish 20 games. Your provisional rating can change quite a bit at one time.

Sometimes when I log in to the forum I will be shown as logged in but the log out button at top still says log in. Also it shows all posts as read when some should be unread. This is my main problem. Although to log off I must log in a second time. This happens 100% of time from work. So I stopped f...

ghorn

Being able to post notes to a game when it is not your move would be nice. I add notes sometimes on my move, but mostly write down notes when I get a chance to look the games over.

ghorn

How do you open or use 20,000 or 40,000 position files you can download for SCID?

ghorn

Instead of saying black played h6 just show the board the way it will be for white's move. Then ask how white should continue.

ghorn

From reading the post shouldn't it be black's move?

ghorn

If you choose a new board layout how do you select it?

ghorn

Ok for me. I like the Queen's Gambit.

ghorn

arlocw why not post some of these games in "Puzzles and Game Commentary" (leaving out names of course) at the point you feel cheating happened and then allow others to comment on the games for a few days. Then you can present your analysis that proves a computer was used.

ghorn

I just want to know if I have this correct. The game should be a draw if played out with correct play. If white times out it is a draw, lack of mating potential. If black times out white wins because he has the potential of being able to mate black. That would take a major mistake from black of cour...

Maybe tellmetwise's post should be on a sticky.

I always seem to have a problem getting on the site or being dumped between 1000 and 1100. Also again at 1630. Are those times with heavy traffic or is the host receiving heavy traffic?

I once played paintball every weekend and thought why not put on TV. Then I saw how they tried to do it here in the US and it was bad, very bad. We just OLN on cable in my area and I stop on it as a show called X-Fire was on. Shows paintball very well. Another good job by the UK. Hope if it is ever ...

Lucky you keith, I still receive dozens and dozens a day. I wonder what would happen if I didn't check my mail for a day or two. Your problem is somebody with your email address in their address book has the virus on their computer, maybe more then one system is invovled. Check with your contacts t...

I like the layout better. I still had trouble with the rooks on the darker squares. Guess that is why I always use white or cream for light squares and a light green for the dark squares where possible.

ghorn

The boards are great. The only problem I have is the color contrast. The white rooks seem to fade into the board, bishops also just not as bad. The board is the problem IMO.

ghorn

Thanks for that

Match of 10 players/ 8 positions open/ 2 positions challenged players. Is it possible to set up a match like this? I realize that such a match would never start if the challenged players do not join and see that as a problem against this type match. Still can it be done?

ghorn

The home page no longer shows the logon area and games it is my move no longer show up. Also an error message is just above the stats. Using IE 6.0 and XP.

ghorn

I thought your rating started showing up after 8 games, just unstable till you hit the 20 game mark. At 20 games you are no longer provisional. I don't know about the 1500 new player rating, there was a match request from a new user over the weekend who was rated 2000.

ghorn

I have wondered if it is possible to have a means to view board as the game would start.
