Sponsored by a coffee company?
A 50+ games Theodorovich pgn file is in process. About a dozen are against Frank Anderson! People are welcome to add to it. The published games are often his losses with even big upsets like Browne...
By "spend it immediately" do you mean FIDE re-registrations for GMs Kovalyov and Sambuev?
What is the point of earning interest if there is no plan to spend anyway?

"...The traditional astrological meaning assigned to Mercury going "retrograde" in the sky is that one should prepare for and gird themselves for unexpected delays, frustrations, and...
I agree with Hugh about the diagram colours. Blue is wrong. Normal boards are usually brown or green for a reason: ease on the eyes. This is amplified by too sharp contrast between the light and dark...
That would be cool. I know that during high school I wrote up R.A. club activities for the CSRA newspaper, I even kept one column.
Something interesting from before I arrived was the visiting Soviet...
Back in snail mail days an invitation to the Capablanca Memorial was deposited in the waste basket by President Pugi rather than being forwarded to eligible players.

The official webzine is due Jan. 1 however the "under construction" free experimental version may only be a few weeks away, perhaps less.

Some interesting moments in Vishy's "computer bomb" 3rd game:
14..Bb7 was a novelty "at this level" agreed, but I heard Ron Liv****s liked it in speed games. The B-pair vs the weak K reminds me of...
Thanks Bob. I'm looking forward to it. The Canadiana variation looks forced but looks fun too. There are many technical things to be worked out (I only do content, not form) but I think the situation...
I don't follow "Heroes" but I did notice Yeats showing up in the synchronicity current. In some thread somewhere an economist said that this financial crisis was "worst since the 14th century"...
Getting quality content on a shoestring budget is not a novel problem; the original Chess Canada magazine went through that too. But the CFC has some big advantages. One is that the most talented...
