Thematic Match
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a thematic match with the following opening:
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 b5 6.Bb3 Bb7
It is the Ruy Lopez, Archangel Variation. Drop a reply if you're in the mood.

Some good chess sites are www.chessgames.com (HUGE database of games, 10,000+ I believe ) with lots of kibitzing. Also www.chessville.com is interesting with articles and a few annotated games.

Mate in 6 and ply
For those wondering ply means "half-move". In this position here White seems to be losing horribly, down a Rook, two Knights and four pawns, but he has a great sequence of moves that can bring him the full point. Can you find White's mate in 6 and ply? http://net-chess.com/images/lwsq.jpg http://net...
