| Posted by tulkos uskidscompute.com 1/08/2003 17:34:57 play online chess | people who cheat like that Message: probably do it for the money, and sooner or later they'll be caught, and then they are kicked out from playing at all for life--- or at least for a long time. They gave good advice at the end of the artical though--- H'mmmm--- It just might work. 8-) |

| Posted by __mda__ uskidscompute.com 1/09/2003 12:39:46 play online chess | the sad fact is.. Message: as computers get smaller and cheaper, cheating is going to be a major problem at tournaments in the future.. I'm sure many of you have heard about people caught in vegas with "perfect card counting" computers hidden on their persons for playing blackjack ( one guy had a system where he'd tap numbers into the computer via his shoe ).. I fear this stuff is headed for chess tournaments where large $$$ is at stake. |

I think the guy can't play in OK |

Chess news: Chess, spy style -- The 1963 James Bond movie From Russia with Love is likely the most famous movie of all time that incorporates chess. The movie opens with Bond's archenemy, SPECTRE agent Grandmaster Kronsteen (Czechoslovakia) brilliantly defeating Grandmaster MacAdams (Canada) in the fictional Venice Invitational Grandmasters Championship. The chess scene takes place in an old castle with a large demonstration board behind the stage where the magnetic pieces are moved with long sticks. A large audience quietly watches as the moves are called out in the old descriptive notation. Movie position after 21...Bxe5. The chess game continued, 22.Nxe5+ Kh7?

Ukraine is ranked second behind Russia in the open division, with China third, Azerbaijan fourth and Hungary fifth. The next five chess teams are, in order, Bulgaria, France, Israel, Armenia, and the United States. Yet some believe ... Uncertainty Surrounds Match Between Kamsky and Topalov -- A world chess championship semifinal match between Gata Kamsky of the United States and Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria is facing an uncertain future after the putative sponsor of the chess match failed to provide the financing for it — and after Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the president of the World Chess Federation apparently backed off his pledge to put up the prize fund if the original sponsor failed to come up with the funds. The Bulgarian Chess Federation has now offered to hold the match, but not until February. Kamsky, who is now competing in the Chess Olympiad in Dresden, Germany, has yet to respond to the new offer. Previously, he had expressed concern about playing a chess match in ... | |
