Here's the link: -> www.chesscafe.com Discuss! :) (I got a bit left behind in these, I read 5,6 and 7 today and made notes so hopefully I can read 8, 9 and this weeks articles tomorrow and provide my thoughts.)

Now having identified some of the problems, I just need to fix them. :-)

Posted by wschmidt uskidscompute.com 3/28/2006 10:35:42 play online chess	Well, whether it's said in one sentence, Message: or one short column, it's a message that bears repeating. If I could have back all the rating points I've lost in the last year because of my failure to really look closely at the board and consider all the possible responses to my proposed move and just their 3-ply ramifications, I'd be well over 1800.
Posted by cascadejames uskidscompute.com 3/28/2006 17:43:58 play online chess	Time Message: Well I for one. want to express my deep appreciation to wolstoncroft1 for his repeated efforts in this thread pointing out what a waste of time these articles are for him. He has made this point at least three times. Since his rating puts him in the 93rd percentile, I can safely assume that he is a fairly decent player, significantly stronger than me. The fact that this material is a waste of time for him suggests that he already knows it, and since he is a strong player, that validates the idea that it might be worthwhile for me to study it. So thanks Wolly, we all really appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to summarily dismiss these columns. I can't thank you enough for your insight and concise comments.

Posted by johnrowell uskidscompute.com 3/28/2006 22:26:36 play online chess	Describes me 100% Message: I probably lose 8 out of 10 games through tactical oversights, and my biggest weakness is not looking for my opponents' best moves. Instead I attempt to play instinctively good chess, while not having the ability to do so. I am going to see how this 3-ply method works. I'm fed up of being surprised by my opponents' moves. It all sounds obvious I know, but I realize I play more than half of my moves without thinking through the tactical consequences.
Chess news: Previewing the world chess championship match -- The world chess championship match between champion Viswanathan Anand of India and Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria begins Friday in Sofia, Bulgaria. The schedule calls for a rest day after every two days of play except that there will be an additional rest day May 9, between the 11th and 12th games. If the score reaches 6-6, the players will break the tie with a series of faster games May 12. Topalov, ranked second in the world at 2805, deserves to be considered a slight favorite over Anand, fourth at 2787. However, one can imagine almost any outcome. Anand has more experience in chess matches and he plays more soundly, with better judgment, but Topalov is more ... A Showdown in Bulgaria for the World Championship -- A World Chess Championship match that begins on Friday in Sofia, Bulgaria, between Viswanathan Anand of India, the titleholder, and Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, a former chess champion, should be a treat for fans. Anand and Topalov are dynamic, and each can land a knockout blow if an opponent slips up. Both are excellent at preparing openings, so the match could come down to which of them has the fresher ideas. Since September 2008, Anand, 40, has slipped from No. 1 in the world to No. 4. That slide can be blamed on his inactivity — including preparations for this match — rather than a decline in his skills. He has been among the world’s top five chess players for ... 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 ...
