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-mad Armenia's heroes return in triumph — Armenia's top chess players, lauded as heroes after winning the 2011 World Team Chess Championship this week, vowed on Friday to boost the small chess-mad country's status in the game even further. The team's head coach said that future successes will be secured through official support and an unusual new scheme to promote the game among schoolchildren initiated by Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian, a keen chess player who also heads the country's Chess Federation. "Because of this attention and care, we can improve our game," coach Arshak Petrosian told a press conference, two days after returning from the chess tournament in China to a rapturous welcome from fans and ...

But the competition proved too fierce, and we had to settle for tie for fourth place with 10 total points. However, after the complex tiebreak system, the U.S. ended up in sixth place, which is slightly better than our original seventh-place seeding. Still, it was a bit disappointing, as we squandered some golden opportunities. In a normal chess tournament, an individual receives one point for a win and a half point for a draw. The same was true for this event, but individual results were tallied up after each round and then teams were awarded points based ...

Find a charming town, bring back its glorious past, turn people into chess pieces, invite kids and a jester and you can evoke magical moments. Every year since 2005, the picturesque Slovak town of Banska Stiavnica stages a game of living chess. It is a powerful, almost mystical, spectacle with human chess pieces dressed into medieval costumes and armed with spears and swords. They are moving on a big chessboard to the sound of drums and trumpets. On Saturday, July 16, they were recreating a live blindfold game I was playing against the legendary Hungarian grandmaster Lajos Portisch. The top-rated ...

Here he has built up a dominating position, principally by controlling the only open file. But a breakthrough is still needed: over to Ronan. RB: Everything points to an immediate 1 Rd6 – White's doubled rooks on the d-file, the pawn on e5 and the difficult position of the black knight on c6. But it does involve an exchange sacrifice and I have what must qualify as a near-phobia about giving up rooks for minor pieces. Still, if ever there was a time to get over my fears this surely has to be it. After 1…Bxd6 White could recapture with the rook, 2 Rxd6 but this doesn't seem to ...

Many thanks again... ——— Chess notes — A couple of weeks ago we wrote about anthropologist Robert Desjarlais’s musings in his work “Counterplay - An Anthropologist at the Chess Board’’ in respect to the mystical motives to play chess, an area of activity in great part outside of economic incentives. A recently developing illustration of playing for the love of the game is the monthly Grand Prix tournaments at the Boylston Club. There have been seven so far, and they offer only small prizes for those who have earned the most points at the end of the year. The entry fee is a mere $7 for club members and $10 for nonmembers. They have been immensely popular. Although these chess tournaments are not a draw for players dependent on chess for ... |
