| Posted by brucehum uskidscompute.com 5/14/2003 08:07:53 play online chess | You have to be a paying member Message: You have to be paying, to start a new team. I have seen some teams where the captain is not a paying member, so I'm not sure if either he was long time ago, and has stopped paying, or the paying member captain ceded his place to the non-paying member. This could be a loop-hole, if it was the case. |

Chess news: Bobby Fischer Is Exhumed -- The remains of Bobby Fischer, the American chess champion, were exhumed Sunday night in the cemetery of Laugardaelir Church in Iceland, according to a report in The Reykjavik Grapevine. The exhumation was ordered by the Icelandic Supreme Court last month to determine if Fischer is the father of Jinky Young, a 9-year-old Filipino girl. Ólafur Helgi Kjartansson, the sheriff of Selfoss, the town near the cemetery; Rev. Kristinn Ágúst Fridfinnsson, the pastor of Selfoss; members of the local parish; medical staff and several other lawmen were at the exhumation to oversee it, according to the Grapevine. Fischer’s grave has already been put back as it was, according to reports. Fischer ... Fide's Grand Prix plans scuppered by withdrawal of Magnus Carlsen -- The world chess body Fide's plans for a Grand Prix tournament circuit were badly hit when its status as a world chess championship eliminator was downgraded, the world No1 Magnus Carlsen and other top Western chess players withdrew and all six events had to be played in the former USSR. Armenia's world No5, Levon Aronian, won the series. Fide's women's Grand Prix, in contrast, has been notably successful. Most leading women including Westerners are taking part, there is a wider range of venues and the series will directly qualify a world title challenger. China's Hou Yifan and India's Humpy Koneru were the favourites, but after the fourth event (of six) finished ... Players Sense Opportunity in Opponents’ Losing Streaks -- Momentum from a few wins can buoy a chess player and cause opponents in future rounds to wilt. It can happen the other way around, too.

The consequences of failing to do so, even among elite chess ... | |
