Boy, I wish someone had pictures of Mirai Ishizuka. Also, I'd like to see more photos of Garry Kasparov. I don't know why, but there's something about him...I'd have to say his intell...http://blog.chess.com/Chessman22/photosMon, 10 Sep 2007 14:50:05 -0700http://blog.chess.com/Chessman22/photosI just checked out the group Cheese Lovers.

I just have to laugh. It seems like chess.com has gotten someone (like a GM or IM) to play as "the computer". Or they've gotten a more advanced computer, perhaps? HAHAHA!  So, makers of chess.com, you've f...http://blog.chess.com/Chessman22/the-computerThu, 06 Sep 2007 10:17:35 -0700http://blog.chess.com/Chessman22/the-computerI'M POUNDING THE COMPUTER ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!

LIkely, you may have to do a piece-for-piece play(i.e., queen for queen, rook for rook, etc.) until you get a more advantageous position, dependent upon how the board is set up. And for chess newbies, I have...http://blog.chess.com/Chessman22/chess-tipFri, 31 Aug 2007 16:59:42 -0700http://blog.chess.com/Chessman22/chess-tip    Just some thoughts: Did Bobby Fischer ever challenge Kasparov to a game? If so, who won? By what margin? What is it like to be a GM/IM? About the recent article of misconceptions about chess players, the guy who wrote it gave me...http://blog.chess.com/Chessman22/thoughtsFri, 31 Aug 2007 16:44:10 -0700http://blog.chess.com/Chessman22/thoughtsHere I am again, getting ready to challenge the computer. It gets rather boring tying the computer time after time, but it's training for when I take on real people.

I've been able to defeat the computer with some success. Another question: which one do you think is better, Kobe Bryant or Lebron James?
