Q6: I'm unable to make any moves in any of my games, what do I do? ............ A: There are several possible reasons for not being able to make a move: • First of all, make sure that you are logged in to GameKnot from the front page. • Please double-check that you are not trying to make an illegal move and that your King will not be in check when your move is submitted. • If you have any anti-virus or firewall software installed on your computer, please make sure that it is not set to disable all active scripts (JavaScript in particular) for all sites. • Make sure that your Security level in Internet Options (Internet Explorer only) is set to Medium (recommended) or lower. If you have your Security level set to High and you do not want to lower it to Medium, you will need to disable "Move confirmation / submit button" in your profile to be able to make your moves. • Some computer viruses might prevent your browser from functioning correctly (W32.Blast.Worm, for example). Make sure that your anti-virus software is up-to-date. • Sometimes, clearing temporary Internet files (i.e. the browser's cache) helps -- select "Tools | Internet Options..." menu, click "Delete Files..." button, hit OK. • If you are using Microsoft Windows operating system, make sure to download and install all the latest patches from Microsoft Windows Update. • If everything else fails, try updating your web browser software to the latest version, or using a different web browser altogether. }8-) ——— On Chess: Pressure still cooks at elite level — Researchers at Temple University found in 1971 that the pulse and respiratory rates of chess players during peak moments of a game were comparable to those of boxers and football players during competition. A clue to understanding these findings is the Russian notion that a chess game is a debate. Imagine an intense argument that lasts four or five hours without relief. Could not the equivalent in a chess competition wreak physical and psychological havoc — especially for those who are obliged to play day after day with only an occasional respite? Chess struggles can have a mind-boggling intensity. Each move by the opponent potentially introduces new threats and dangers. A surprise move or a material sacrifice can ...

We are grateful to you for making the suggestion and should there be a change in the situation I shall notify you of it without delay.” The proposal that Markel turned down was Capablanca’s offer to write a chess column for The Times. Twenty-eight years later, The Times hired Al Horowitz, an international master, to write the column that Capablanca, who died in 1942, had proposed. The first ...

Both played their final rounds last weekend when two individual performances, one impressive and the other dismal, stole the headlines. Baden-Baden, the holders and favourites, retained their Bundesliga crown ahead of Bremen. Both squads are global so that the England No1 Michael Adams played for B-B and the No2 Luke McShane for Bremen. But B-B's success was overshadowed by a bad defeat for Vishy Anand four weeks before the Indian defends his world title in Moscow. Sergey Tiviakov, ranked far below the chess champion, called it "an easy game" and claimed that Anand knew little about ...

We first introduced Polgar back in February. The Budapest native, former world chess champion and, until recently, coach of Texas Tech University's national championship squad, was prepping her eventual move to Webster, with nearly half of her Texas Tech players accompanying her. Polgar's strategic move to St. Louis has now captured the attention of a national audience.

Many thanks again... ——— At a Brooklyn School, the Cool Crowd Pushes the King Around — The classroom at Intermediate School 318 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was filled on Tuesday with the thumping and clattering of a half-dozen high-speed chess matches, played with a rambunctious energy more reminiscent of a hockey game than of Garry Kasparov and Deep Blue. The school’s conquering heroes — its chess players — were blowing off steam. On Sunday, in Minneapolis, they became the first middle school team to win the United States Chess Federation’s national high school championship. The chess team, mostly eighth graders, beat out top high schools like Stuyvesant in Manhattan and Thomas Jefferson in Alexandria, Va. The victory burnishes what is already a legend in the chess world. At I.S. 318, more ... |
