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-) ——— Chess stars align in Siberia — The 39th Chess Olympiad began Tuesday in Khanty-Mansiysk, a small Siberian city in Russia. The immense chess tournament has attracted 146 men's teams and 114 women's teams representing 142 nations. Half of the 484 participants in the men's section hold the grandmaster title. The ninth-seeded U.S. men's chess team consists of grandmasters Hikaru Nakamura (Missouri), Gata Kamsky (New York), Alexander Onischuk (Virginia), Yury Shulman (Illinois) and Robert Hess (New York). That's an impressive lineup with a fair chance at a medal. They defeated Faroe Islands, 4-0, and Mongolia, 31/2-1/2, in their first two matches. The sixth-seeded U.S. women's chess team is probably ...

Four of those teams — the top two Russian teams, Hungary and Armenia — were ranked among the top six at the start, so their standing is no surprise. But three of the leaders — the Netherlands, the Republic of Georgia and Vietnam — are unexpected, in particular the last two, who were ranked No. 20 and 27, respectively, when the chess competition began. Several of the pre-tournament favorites ran into unexpected trouble early on. Ukraine, which was ranked No. 2, gave up a drawn match to Croatia, No. 28, in Round 3. (Matches are between teams of four players). Ukraine is now tied for ...

The Yemeni Sports minister, Hamud Mohammed Ubad, took the unusual decision after chess players ignored instructions to pull out if drawn against Israel, which is widely criticised in the Middle East for its policies towards the Palestinians. "This was an individual action contrary to the policy of Yemen, which refuses any normalisation with Israel," said Mr Ubad, adding that the chess players were on their way home from Minsk. Like several other Middle Eastern countries, Yemen does not have diplomatic relations with Israel and bars ...

According to the Olympiad’s Web site, there are 1,300 players from 144 countries. The Chess Olympiad, which was first held in 1927 (or 1924, unofficially), is convened every two years. The 2010 Olympiad is particularly important as elections for the top offices in the World Chess Federation, the game’s governing body, will be held near the end of the competition. Prior to the start of the Olympiad, it had been plagued by problems, including a race to finish building the main venues before the teams arrived. Now that the chess event has ...

But there are more squares in chess, mostly invisible, as part of an amazing chess geometry hidden in chess players' minds. One classic square is often used in pawn endgames when a king is chasing the enemy's passed pawn. The king doesn't have to walk in horizontal or vertical lines, he can run diagonally or zig-zag across the field. But he needs to be close enough to catch the pawn. How close? The king has to walk into a square whose one side is defined as the distance between the pawn and its promoting square at the edge of the board. We can use a famous study by Richard Reti as an example. The world-class player ... |
