I see nothing but perpetual checks.
Mr. Truong,
We all know the kind of contribution you and GM Polgar do to chess in USA. We were all shocked by the anonymous nasty posts against you a few days ago. Please do not let these cruel people disturb you and put you down. Best wishes
John M.

Hi Susan,
I love the pic in your page header
“Aliens vs Predator” but as always they spoil it by a slight error, it shows Black moving first.

Yes, very smart to emphasize events of days past. It’s Saturday, lots of viewers, and now everyone previously oblivious towhat happened, including me, will wonder what’s been going on and perhaps try to find out on their own.
Please, ignore the computer analyses. Just use the board to find the solution. In my case, looking 7 moves ahead isn’t working blindfolded. From what we saw recently, it doesn’t quite work even for the top-notch GMs.
Checkmate tactic
Nikolai Pilafov:
I usually check out your analysis, but recently I have been getting the following error message:
netscape.javascript.JSException
This pops up after I’ve gotten to your site, the board and pieces have loaded, and just before the moves should come up.
Any suggestions?
I’ve been getting the same message as J Cheyne.

These are perfect questions you could ask on my blog. What browser/OS are you using? Try, Amber Blindfold And Rapid Tournament (Live Games). Does it work?
(see you there?)
