When playing in the game room it is fine, but in the tournament room it doesnt matter which player I choose they always play like the chessmaster. If I randomly choose one it is fine and in tournaments it works okay. But on a standard rated game I can only play chessmaster :( | ||||

Strangely my rating changes as though Im playing the correct opponent, yet the opponent always plays like the best opponent. ——— On Chess: Fischer's dexterity with game pieces was sight to see — While watching Bobby Fischer explain a chess position during a TV appearance a year or two before he became world chess champion, I witnessed a startling display. The chess pieces appeared as inseparable from his long and graceful fingers as a deck of cards from the hands of a riverboat gambler or a soccer ball from the feet of Pele. Perhaps no player has ever set up chess pieces and moved them in play and analysis as frequently as the chess-obsessed American prodigy did. In the recent Fischer biography Endgame, Frank Brady describes a 1960 demonstration of chess analysis by Fischer at a New York tavern using a worn wallet chess set: "The half-inch plastic pieces seemed to jump into place ...

RB: The Bishop's Gambit variation of the King's Gambit isn't a common sight, but I have particular reason to know it. Many years ago the late human rights lawyer Larry Grant and I played a correspondence chess game, of sorts. I had White and I thought I'd catch Larry out with precisely this opening.

In one corner will be Bjorn Jónsson, 42 years old but wily in his ways and with a devastating reach advantage over his opponent. Daniel Thordarson is a young, hard-nosed fighter and former Icelandic middleweight champion. After weeks of anticipation, these two rivals will finally meet head-to-head to see who punches harder, who has the desire to outlast the other, and whether the Tarrasch Defense can sufficiently counter a Queen’s Gambit. Wait, what was that last part? You see, Thordarson and Jónsson are 3-D digital artists at CCP Games, a major chess ... |
