Is chess addictive ? It is for me. I love playing, winning is nice but playing is the thing. ( A very British attitude .) I'm hooked on Tournaments, I luv em. You meet lots of new people see different approaches to your same old opening, and learn... Read more »

Most people think material is very important in chess. Obviously, if you have less pieces, in general you have a worse position. Especially if you are more than a queen down... But chess isn't just about material. It's also about how active the pi... Read more »

A quick post just to say I'm not here to play long chess games (with 3 days per move and something like that).
I can do that if a player want to take lessons form me, but NOT FOR FREE.
Sorry, but I receive quite a lot of challanges, and I thin... Read more »

What do you think? The opening and middlegame wasn't that important so I'll leave it out. When your opponent sacs a bishop for no reason, try to figure out what they're really planning. Please comment. Thanks! Read more »

So I'm not exactly new, nor am I exactly new to the game.
That said, I've just resumed playing after a hiatus of many, many years...so I'm basically a beginner.
So if anyone wants to play, I'm around and up for a game! Read more »

A magnificent game by Rubinstein, in which he stresses the importance of centralization. With his rook on the 7th rank, and a powerful knight on e5, the whole game, with a king journey included, is a treat.
