HIARCS Chess Forums

Very nice. Thanks for posting the PC Pr0n photos :) I have the same DUAL CPUs (Assuming Paul did go for the 2 * X5680? That's what I'm using) except I didn't yet get the SR2 mobo so not o/c yet these beasts. Still plenty fast though I will get the SR2 soon as it feels wrong not to unleash their full...

I got Shredder for the iPad few days ago - it's amazing Brilliant UI and the auto-adjust playing level is actually fun to play with. I'll get the Hiarcs iPad version too as soon as there is one of course

Wow!!! you rock

Great thread

I'm yet to use computer analysis here, but b3 seems the most attractive to me. It attempts to counter Black's g7 bishop, develop our b...

4. ..g6 by our opponent. I think now is the time to agree on some initial plan? Sorry if this is going to be a long post from my end :) Assuming Black's plan will be to continue with bg7 -> Nf6 -> 0-0 -> Bg4 or Bf5 or Bd7 -> e6 -> Qc7 with subsequent a5 push and playing on the queen side. Erdo may h...

I'm curious at what move we'll get to a position that demands computer analysis :) So far have not set up this game on any of my machines. I am having fun meanwhile watching (and analysing) National and Vytron go at it on the Wing over at Rybka, though White looks quite helpless for quite some moves...

g3 for me.

2. Nf3 for me too.

Well, no. 1. a3 is too extreme even for me

Well, that didn't work that well for him. Pretty terrible play by him today. Sorry for the off-topic message.
