| 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: Anand's appeal to postpone World Chess Championship match turned down -- Viswanathan Anand's appeal to postpone his World chess championship match against Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria in view of the volcanic eruption has been turned down by the organising committee. Anand was stranded in Frankfurt on Friday on his way to Sofia, the venue of the chess match, which is scheduled to start next Friday with an opening ceremony on Wednesday. The organising committee confirmed it got an e-mailed request for a three day postponement from Anand and also a word from FIDE about the situation. However, the organisers stuck to their guns and insisted that the opening ceremony should be held as scheduled on Wednesday as it involved ... Fide world chess championship: is this Topalov's last chance? -- On Friday, in Sofia, Veselin Topalov will begin his challenge to Vishy Anand for the unified Fide/classical chess world championship title. The high point of Topalov's career to date was in 2005 when he won the Fide world chess championship tournament at San Luis ahead of Anand, Svidler, Leko and other super grandmasters. It may have been that the format suited Topalov – he has always been considered a stronger tournament than match player. The following year, at Elista, he lost his bid to unseat Anand's predecessor Vladimir Kramnik as classical chess world champion in a match marred by gamesmanship and (unproven) allegations of cheating. Topalov, now 35, will be aware that ...

The 40-year old chess grandmaster finally made it to the Bulgarian capital by bus on Tuesday, four days later than planned. The international chess federation FIDE agreed to a one-day delay to the match, less than the three days Anand had sought but hopefully ... | |
