In historical times, professional programs such as Fritz 5 where 16 bit, and of course, when they ran on the new 32 bit ones, they didn't improve that much. Some other programs, amateur ones, had been programmed for 32 bits a lot earlier (crafty et al) and they showed the way to go. |
Chess news: Fooling the Gullible Chess World -- Identity theft in chess is rather common. Sometimes a full chapter is lifted from a chess book, other times a player claims credit for a single move that wasn't his. Here is one such story. It was a furious attack launched against me at the 1965 Student Olympiad in the Romanian mountain resort of Sinaia, a perfect onslaught by a local chess player that even Bobby Fischer would have approved of. For the first 11 moves of the Sicilian Najdorf, I was under fire from the 30-year-old Romanian student Traian Stanciu. By move 12, my black pieces were in crossfire. Suddenly, a funky defense crossed my mind and I realized I was not only safe, but my chances to turn the game around were excellent. For ... The Chess Olympiad, in Khanty-Mansiysk. Where? Khanty-Mansiysk. -- As the biennial Chess Olympiad approaches, the World Chess Federation has released a schedule of charter flights to the site of the event. The need for such planning has a lot to do with where the competition is being held. It is in Khanty-Mansiysk, Siberia. It begins Sept. 19 and ends Oct. 3. If Khanty-Mansiysk does not ring a bell in the same way as places such as Paris or London, here are a few facts about the place, courtesy of its official Web site. The city’s population is 62,000 and it is about 1,800 miles from Moscow. Among its amenities, it has 19 medical facilities, five museums, five public libraries (do they have chess sections?), a theater complex, a sports and cultural complex, a pool, five ... Two Vietnamese Chess Players Make a Name for Their Homeland -- Could the emergence of world-class chess players be a sign of a country’s economic progress? Consider the case of Vietnam. First, it struck a trade agreement with the United States in 2000, and then six years later joined the World Trade Organization. Now, two chess players who were born there in the early 1990s — just 15 years or so after the Vietnam War ended — have joined the ranks of the world’s chess elite with a series of impressive finishes. One of them, Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son, who is ranked No. 157 in the world, tied for third at the Aeroflot Open in Moscow, the strongest open tournament of the year, in February. This week, Nguyen, 20, tied for first with Maxime Vachier-Lagrave of ... | |
