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-) ——— Ugandan girl, Phiona Mutesi leads chess revolution from the slums — Despite background the 15-year-old girl is already country's number two chess player and has competed at World Chess Olympiad. In a rickety church in a Ugandan slum, a girl's hand thrusts forward and a black bishop falls. The girl shows no emotion, though she knows the end is near. Striking quickly, silently, the black queen is toppled, and then the king. Only then does she smile. "You attacked too much," she tells the boy sitting opposite her on the wooden bench, a homemade board between them. Phiona Mutesi is 15. She has just finished primary school and is still learning to read. Her family is so poor they have been evicted from tiny, rented shacks more times than she ...

In 1997, Deep Blue, another computer built by I.B.M., defeated the world chess champion, Garry Kasparov, in a six-game match. At the time, it was considered a stunning achievement and a significant step forward in the field of artificial intelligence. Some people said that a new era would be ushered in, one in which computers would perform many tasks β like air traffic control β that it once seemed only humans could do. That era has not quite materialized. But almost 14 years later, chess programs running on an average desktop computer can play better than Deep Blue, making its victory no longer seem as implausible. And while the research that ...

We'd all like to play like a world chess champion. So what's Vishy Anand doing that's so special? Last week we highlighted his depth of calculation, this week we focus on his strategic judgment. RB: I have no idea what to do here. I have no idea if Black is better or worse and I have no idea what Black's plan might be. Is the white queen trappable? It certainly looks locked in, but without a light-squared bishop it's hard to see how to exploit this. Is there anything in 1...Nc5...? No, apart from a lost piece. Opening the a-file with 1...axb4 might be an option, but ...

Both are from Northern California, and at one point or another, they both had the same coach, Michael Aigner. They are not the only chess champions who have been trained by Aigner. Others include Gregory Young, who tied for first in the 2008 United States Junior Championship, and Yian Liou, who tied for first in the United States Cadet Championship (for players under 16) last year. He has also coached Saratoga High School to six straight California chess titles. Aigner, 36, is a master, and ...

Called βthe Match of the Century,β the contest between the Russian chess champion, Boris Spassky, and the American challenger, Bobby Fischer, attracted that attention because of its cold war implications. But people were also fascinated by the mercurial Fischer β a prototypical genius whose incessant demands and unpredictability were more associated with the behavior of a diva than with what one expects from a master of a demanding game of logic. Fischer won the chess match in brilliant style, setting off a wave of enthusiasm for ... |
