I just got my Chess Informant #55 in the mail.  This volume is
published by Chess Informant,  Ltd. in Nicosia, Cyprus; and has
been printed in Hungary by Szegedi Nyomda.  The previous volume
(#54) was also printed in Hungary and published in Cyrpus.  Volume
#53 was both published and printed in Beograd, Yugoslavia.

Wherever it is being printed, there seems to be a drop in quality
control in #55 (based on my sample size of one!).  My copy has
eight blank pages in it -- obvious production errors.  None of my
copies of the previous volumes (and I have most of them) had such
errors.

> It might be interesting to inquire which GMs are still contributing

This volume has all 30 FS-II games.  (The last four of them have
been included in a special annex.)  The FS games are annotated by
Balasov, Matanovic, Timman, Matulovic, Glek, Seirawan, Nikitin,
Damljanovic, and Speelman.

The volume seems to have the usual crew of top annotators.  People
still contributing include:  Byrne, Mednis, Anand, Chandler,
Christiansen, Dlugy, Gulko, Karpov, Kasparov, Kortchnoi, Kamsky,
Miles, Nunn, J. Polgar, Z. Polgar, and Short.

Hmmm... I think I see what you meant here. Yes, I apologize we were arguing
semantics, as this does fit the letter of the request.

However, it depends on "has enough pieces". Obviously, neither side has enough
pieces to mate the other, and yet is they were in a different position, they
could mate. (So to speak.) Interesting problem. Any other solutions?

I also prefer a simpler ASCII representation.  Here's a sample
middlegame position I just happen to have handy (BTM):

bR::bR::  ::  bK
bPbPbQ  bP  ::bP
  ::  bPbBbP  wB
bN  ::  ::  bPbN
  ::  wNwP::  ::
wP  wPwB::  ::wP
  ::wP::  wPwP::
wR  ::  wQwRwK  

Notes:

1) Rank and file labels are deleted; the assumption is that most
readers know them already.

2) The above example has double colons to mark vacant black squares;
this assumes that the reader has a black foreground/white backgroud
display.  This is also appropriate for most hardcopy output.

3) Although it looks a bit cramped, the board area is displayed with
about the same number of characters as the old Unix chess program.
This is what the SAN Kit uses for output and most people can get used
to it without too much trouble.

4) Because color is explicitly indicated, the semantics are not
changed when output in a case insensitive fashion.  Also, I find it
much easier to distinguish between "wP" and "bP" than between "p" and
"P" when they are separated by a rank or two on a sparsely populated
board.

By the way, what would you play if you were Black in the above
position?

Stein, This topic has spawned a lot of messages on CompuServe's Chess
Forum of late. Bottom line, during the install process the copy
protection scheme takes note of the CPU speed and type (among other
things) and neither CB3 nor CB4 (the latest version) will run under OS/2
unless everything else is shut down, so there's no time slicing going
on between different applications. (I expect this means running it from
the OS/2 penalty box only, but am not an OS/2 user so its all second
hand to me). ChessBase USA is aware of this problem, and I would suggest
that you make known to them your difficulties with this situation.

So, you believe that if George Bush used his own money to sponsor a

And someone lets you use a computer???

Sven, Bush would not have won if he had; and the Yugo president did not
win because Fischer played there.

If in U.S. court's eye, the judicial system in the foreign countryis
competent enough, then the U.S. law will not interfere with the that
matter. That however doesn'tforbid anybody from filing a case.

At this jucture I would like topoint out Bhopal gas tragedy case. The
Indian government tried to file the case in US, as it is a known fact
that the US courts give large comensations ( The figure they were talking
was over a billion $.) However they presented the case on the ground that
the indian judicial system hasn't been exposed to such cases. The Union
carbide wanted the case to be tried in India for the same monetery reason
 The US judge opined that the Indian courts arecompetent enough and so
the case should be tried in INDIA and not US

(finally the victims got around 500 million $ as a comp.)

Hullo--

I've read with interest the recent postings regarding the psychology of
chess players.  While I must confess that this business about anti-social,
sexually-frustrated chess-nerds strikes me as lame flame bait, I am very
interested in the social baggage that burdens chess so heavily.  As a new
player, I am continually frustrated (there's that word again...) at not
being able to find "friendly" games to sharpen my skills.  If I were a
neophyte bowler, bridge player, or backgammon nut, I could probably talk
most of my friends into "giving it a go" for the simple pleasure of trying
something new.  But chess is different: one's ability to play chess seems
inexorably linked to one's intelligence, and people seem afraid to try 
chess because failure would imply some sort of general mental deficiency.
Furthermore, people do not seem to view chess as a game simply to win or 
lose...  While one might lose a bout of backgammon with a light heart,
a horrible shame seems to be the penalty for being DEFEATED in a round
of chess.  

I wonder what everyone thinks of my observations.  Am I misreading people's
reluctance to play?  Sometimes I think I'm being hypersensitive or paranoid
because to me success in chess has almost nothing to do with those mental
powers I associate with "intelligence."
