We know that you have worked hard on your game, and is it nice to see the results! Best of luck to you with the rest of your games! John ——— Robotic "Monster Chess" set uses 100000 LEGO pieces — The idea is simple — a chess game where you can play against the computer. But the implementation here is what's truly monster about it. Each chess piece is its own autonomous robot, and there are actually a couple of 'spares' (as well as NXT blocks built into the King & Queen), so that ends up with 38 separate NXTs that must be controlled, commanded, and communicated with. Ron McRae did the bulk of the software work on the PC end for this, and it really works well. The chess board has squares based on the large LEGO baseplates, making the entire assembly roughly 12' on a side. On top of that is a way to input the humans moves, and a laptop running chess software and helping ...

John ——— The Catalan Chess Opening part 4: how should white tackle a strong centre? — Continuing our brief survey of the fashionable Catalan Chess Opening: instead of capturing on c4, Black holds firm in the centre. How should White develop? RB Staring reproachfully at me from my desk is a newly bought but unopened copy of Play the Catalan by Nigel Davies (Everyman Chess). I haven't had the time to make even a start and am still as innocent of the theory as I was when we began this series of columns. I've resisted the temptation to cheat by looking to see what Davies recommends and am going to go on general principles: what looks like the most useful developing move? Two possibilities suggest themselves: Qc2 and Nc3. So which one? Over the chess board I'd probably ...

John ——— Former Chess Champions Find Success Beyond the Board — They took the road more traveled, and each is happy that he did. Patrick Wolff, Michael Wilder and Stuart Rachels are former United States chess champions who walked away from the game years ago to lead more traditional lives. Wilder, 47, a chess grandmaster, won the title in 1988. By the following fall, he was in law school at the University of Michigan, and done with chess. “I just didn’t have the energy or the motivation to keep my skills fresh,” he said in an interview this month. Now a partner at McDermott Will & Emery in Washington, he specializes in corporate tax issues. He said he had not played a tournament game in more than 15 years. “I never gave serious consideration to being a professional chess player,” Wilder ...

This will be the fourth edition of the chess competition, which is in Bazna, Romania, in the heart of Transylvania.
