It has been mentioned at various forums that Mr. Jones, Lux, Goodall, Schultz and Sloan have 300 years of experience in chess. What is your opinion about the good old boys network trashing you and your team?
The Virtual Chess Club (in portuguese: Clube de Xadrez Virtual – CXV) it’s a club with no lucrative finalities wich promotes chess matches by e-mail. It’s founded in september, 07, 1999. According its name, the club is virtual, don’t have a physical club-house. The club’s organizers live in several cities of world and they don’t know themselves.
The club has its proper rating. A new associated will have an attributed rating of 1500. It does not have payment of taxes
The games uses algebraic notation in english.
CXV has the following matches, among others:
BLITZES (in portuguese: RELÂMPAGOS) – for 5 players with duration of 5 months; TRIOS – for 3 players; THEMATICS (in portuguese: TEMÁTICOS) – for 5 players with opening previously defined.
“I am sorry to see that attempts at discrediting the current board has now spilled over into an issue over the employee retirement plan. While I realize that Donna is sincere in her quest, many of the individuals that are supplying her with information do not have the best interest of the federation in mind. I personally find their actions disgusting and deplorable.”
How do you feel about Donna and how do you feel about the dirty political tricks that have often been pulled for decades?
Just one suggestion. On the news stories, and others, from the US, include a keyword on the state it’s from. It not always clear and I find it interesting to know where the report is from.
Interesting story about the Korchnoi-Kasparov 1983 Candidates Match on my blog yesterday. Lots of intrigue with the Russians finally pulling Kasparov out. Behind the scenes story from one of the main organizers.
I found an interesting web site. It has numerous chess links, as well as quotes, photographs and information about chess and chess players. You have to look for it, but there is some neat chess content there. Go to http://www.statusviatoris.net
I’d like to thank you, Susan, for providing your blog, putting so much time into it, and being so generous with your time–It’s a such a treat for players to have a GM that’s so accessible.
I’d also like to plug your dad’s chess problems book–It’s very thick and very inexpensive too! Not too long ago I decided to “get back into chess” after pretty much abandoning it after childhood. So I picked-up your dad’s bargain book–I’m still a patzer, but the book has helped me tactically (which has helped me recover from blown openings)–Now most of the problems seem pretty easy to me, but most importantly, when I come across an occasional gem of a problem, I share it with friends and family–And we have a whole lot of fun!
There’s no always much actual discussion on this blog – a topic is mentioned and gets maybe two replies but that’s it, everyone has moved onto the next day. I think one reason might be the format – a discussion forum would have any number of threads working at once, easily accessible and allowing an extended discussion of the topic over several weeks even.
I would have liked more about the Horizon programme and ideas concerning chess, creativity, intelligence and so on but nothing came of it.
Any chance such a forum could be set up – this blog is one of my regular reads, it’s just not so interactive.
happy birthday Susan! it’s easy for me to remember, as it’s my sister’s birthday too…
Happy Birthday Susan!
How do you feel about the CJA President Mr. Jerry Hanken publicly calling you name and insulting you?

Is it true that you will come to the Canadian Youth Chess Championship in July?

Interesting piece of chess history.
