Hi all, I’ve had my Centaur since Monday and before I played a game I copied the micro sd card. I played a game on the default friendly level and won a long 70 move game which I thoroughly enjoyed. Then I wanted to see how it ticks and whether I could connect to it. I made slots for the micro sd co...

Note also that lc0 has played more than 220 million games to reach this strength. Stockfish, in a certain sense, plays from a priori principles. So while stockfish crunches numbers in the game itself, lc0 has crunched them previously to learn the game. Conceptually, it's totally different type of c...

I've been playing with Chess Android app and the MCGE. For me, the response seems very laggy. I make a move on the board and it takes 2 or three seconds to register in the app. I have not experienced any such lag with the many devices I used to test playing with Chess for Android on the Millennium ...

I have struggled with this app. It has a quirky interface, but does potentially work pretty well. It does work very well with MCGE - you don't even need to pair it. The trick has been to find engines that can be weakened enough to give me a chance, as well as the very limited UI opening book in the...

There is nothing worse in life than searching for something ( chess related of course) and finding something that I had posted 10, 15 or 20 years ago. The internet needs a more permanent trash bin. The article is very well written, and a fun read. Mike, did you author the article or just paste it? ...

Back in 2010, one of our regular contributors wrote the following. Would the person responsible like to identify himself or have you already gone into hiding 😄 I wish you would not put ideas into the heads of Team Fidelity! Let me tell you that it was hard enough to get this Team playin...

Another official statement sent to me by Mythbuster (Sascha ) the statement is From Ossi Weiner : Dear customer Following our last information regarding the defective King Element modules, we have now determined how to proceed.

My Lasker module has a few issues 1)big red button on top left does not work pressing it does nothing thankfully there is another small red button that serves as a backup and does work 2)every so often a loud noise is emitted from ...

As I sit here enjoying a very Merry Christmas - but wondering if my new King Element , still wrapped in the FedEX bubble wrap envelope , is defective or not. It had arrived Friday, but that was too soon before Christmas , and having now been successfully married for the last 40 years, I would have p...

Recently I had been discussing the early great Woody Allen comedies with some friends, and someone was good enough to send me the link for this Woody Allen penned hilarious correspondence chess game between Vardebedian and Gossage during a time when postal chess was popular. I had actually seen thi...

Hi, The game Gelfand - Wang Yue. Indeed the strongest Knight h8 move. Gelfand analyzed in 2010, Shipov in 2017. The engines do not see this move, and do not correctly analyze this position. Advantage for white, it's not a draw. Black has a lost endgame. Download game analysis with Gelfand comments....
