| Posted by r_lawrence uskidscompute.com 1/10/2003 22:57:41 play online chess |  Subject: How much time a day ...Message: Do YOU spend on chess? I thought it would be interesting to see not only how much time people here at GK spend playing chess .. but HOW they spend their time. Openings, tactics, endgame study, strategy, actually playing games, reviewing games etc. You don't have to be a higher rated player to post, but I would especially like suggestions from some of the higher rated (1800+) players. Thanks! |

Then I make moves in my games, and once I can't make any more moves, I'll put on the "wait for your turn" thing. then i do other stuff; sometimes chess related, sometimes not |

Then I just pick a few games ( out of chess life or alekhine's book of games- or whatever and perfereably annotated) I go over mabye 3-4 a day, then later on, probably after practice I will study books on openings( 1/2hr at most) middle games ( 1 hr or more) and endgames( 15 min at most) I don't have that much to do because I am homeschooled, so I like to spend as much time as I can on chess |

Chess news: Ponomariov Victorious in Dortmund -- Ruslan Ponomariov of Ukraine only needed a draw on Sunday to win the Sparkassen Chess-Meeting tournament in Dortmund. He accomplished that without too much difficulty against Le Quang Liem of Vietnam and finished with a score of 6.5 points. The result should put Ponomariov in the top 10 in the world, according to Live Top List, an unofficial ranking site that has proved accurate in the past. Le Quang, 19, the lowest-ranked competitor in the field, who was playing in his first elite chess tournament, performed far better than expected and was second with 5.5 points. Vladimir Kramnik of Russia, the top seed, who has won Sparkassen nine times, had a disappointing ... For 2 New U.S. Chess Champions, Diverging Paths Ahead -- The two newest United States chess champions have very different future plans. On Monday, Irina Krush, 26, won the women’s chess championship for the third time, earning $16,000, her biggest payday. Krush said of her prospects of earning a living as a professional chess player, “I am actually at the stage where I am going to get into it more than ever.” Samuel Shankland, 18, who won the junior chess championship in a playoff on Tuesday, plans to quit playing professionally for the time being, and perhaps for good. He is beginning studies at Brandeis University in Boston in the fall. “I’m going to go down the other road and see where it goes,” he said. Krush, who also won ... How to Make Chess Sizzle -- For years, chess players have bemoaned that chess is not as popular as poker, particularly when it comes to attracting television coverage. While part of the complaint doubtless has to do with the desire of some chess players to have their egos stroked, the real issue is money. Poker players earn more because they have higher exposure and name and face recognition. In the United States, more people would recognize the poker personality Phil Hellmuth than Viswanathan Anand, even though Anand is the world chess champion and has been one of the top three players in the world for almost 20 years. Not surprisingly, Hellmuth earns more money. The question of whether chess can ... | |
