| Posted by cralford uskidscompute.com 12/05/2003 10:49:06 Play online chess |  Subject: online boardMessage: I am looking for a site that has online chess boards. Not a computer game but something that I set setup to mimick a situation. I could then maneuver the pices to determine what I consider to be the best move for the situation. Just a board that I can maneuver the pieces(both dark and white) as I want. Does anybody know of an online site like this? I know that I can do the same thing with a board but I use my board at home to play with my neighbor and would actually like to be able to setup numerous boards for different situations. From my understanding of the rules this is not illegal but could be a good learning technique. If I am wrong about the legality of this, please let me know. |

The 40-year-old title holder from Chennai beat the Bulgarian 3-2 with seven draws in their €2m (£1.7m) series in Sofia. Anand won the crown in a 2007 tournament, then comfortably retained it against Vlad Kramnik in 2008, and so joins a rare elite of multiple chess champions. This time the margin was narrow, the games tense and long as Topalov, five years the younger, spurned draws and kept up sustained pressure. The Bulgarian had his chances, but a poor sense of danger proved his fatal weakness. All his ... |

Anyone who watched the more than 2,000 children competing at the National Elementary School Chess Championships in Atlanta last weekend could see that. At the top levels, the competition is fierce, and the psychological pressure can be overwhelming. That is why even the best chess players make mistakes. The world chess championship match between Viswanathan Anand of India and Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, which ended last week in Sofia, Bulgaria, illustrated that pressure. Each made blunders, culminating in one that led to Topalov’s loss in Game 12. It was ... |
