I already know the one where you move the pawn in front of the king:) I want to win this years chess tournament for my school.

Posted by trond uskidscompute.com 6/30/2005 13:36:06 Play online chess	Scholars mate... Message: I think it's called. At least here in Norway it's called something like that. It goes like this: 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6/d6/... 4. Qxf7 mate. If 2. ... g6, then 3. Qxe5+ and 4. Qxh8. winning a pawn and rook for nothing. It seems many kids have problems defending against this "attack". One defense is 3. ... g6 and black is perfectly ok. Good luck in the tournament.

Posted by abiyaz_sicilian uskidscompute.com 8/28/2005 15:03:15 Play online chess	Good Mates Message: The correct names are as follows. 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Bc5 3. Qh5 Nc6 4. Qxf7+ = Scholar's Mate 1. f3 e5 2. g4 Qh4++ mate is the shortest mate in the history of chess. And it's called the Fool's mate . Usually , I regard that a scholar plays the Scholar's Mate and a fool plays the Fool's mate , and it is also theoreticlly proved that Fool's Mate is earliest mate (2 moves) and the earliest stalemate is in 12 moves.

Posted by kansaspatzer uskidscompute.com 8/30/2005 11:29:01 Play online chess	Message: For the most part, it's not positionally sound to try for most of these. If your opponent knows what he's doing, he'll soundly defend and force your pieces to retreat back, gaining a lot of time.
Chess news: Anand v Topalov: who will win this year's world chess championship? -- Age... playing style... even gamesmanship. There are many vital factors in the upcoming clash. Vishy Anand defends his world title against Veselin Topalov in Sofia in a 12-game match starting on 23 April. Most pundits reckon Anand is the better chess player, but the stats tell us that in their classical chess encounters Topalov has one more win than Anand. It's only in games with a faster time control that Anand has a big plus score. If the match ends 6-6, Anand will be a clear favourite in the tie-break rapid games. Age could be a factor. Anand has turned 40. Among top chess players that practically qualifies for a free bus pass. Topalov is five years younger and ... The checkmate club -- The University of Maryland, Baltimore County may not be the football and basketball powerhouse that its much larger sibling at College Park is, but when it comes to fielding world-class chess contenders, watch out. Its players' victory in the Final Four over three Texas teams at the national college chess championships in Brownsville over the weekend — the sixth chess championship the school has brought home during the last 10 years — is about as good as it gets. The team itself embodies in microcosm the ethic of excellence that UMBC President Freeman Hrabowski III has tirelessly promoted for the entire school and its programs during the last ... Robot chess opponent -- Hopefully Dennis who is playing with a a robotic arm as his chess opponent has not input the necessary code to have the arm reach over and choke the life out of him should he win the chess match. The Lynxmotion AL5A robotic arm is, after all, full well capable of plucking each chess piece and moving it to the next space. This is made possible thanks to a Python script Dennis himself created to process the moves and decide on the next move. A webcam is used to capture the location of the desired pieces on the chess board in order to help it in its task. ...
