Computer Chess on an 8x8x8
board
Ever seen one of those
multi-tiered chess boards on a sci-fi movie/TV
show and wanted to play? This is something I
wrote while learning Java and it seems to be
popular so I thought I'd share. Freeware of
course :-), works on XP and I'm told OSX (though
I haven't tested that). JRE 1.5 Enjoy! |

A Beginner's Garden of Chess
Openings...
"The first moves of a
chess game are termed the "opening" or "opening
moves". A good opening will provide better
protection of the King, control over an area of
the board (particularly the center), greater
mobility for pieces, and possibly opportunities
to capture opposing pawns and pieces." |

Games
It seems the evolution of games
that happened on the PC and on-line is repeating
itself in the AJAX arena. First come the board
games -- see Ajax Chess, 64Pola, and Morfiks --
and the muds -- hive7, then the low fidelity
arcade games, then the first person shooter
games. |

InfoChess combines PsyOps,
Intelligence, Electronic Warfare

such actions. |

http://digg.com/software/New_BOINC_Project:_Chess960@Home_Alpha
Using
the BOINC framework, the same as SETI@Home, we
want to give this chess variant some basics in
theory of this game. We know the fascination of
this chess variant is the incredible amount of
variations. That will not change with this
project but some guidelines seems to be useful
in each starting position." |

that, nothing else... |

World Champ and a
mom
On the 25th March 2006, WGM Xu
Yuhua became the 11th Women World Champion. She
dispatched IM Alisa Galliamova of Russia in the
finals with a winning score of 2.5-0.5. All this
is well known from reports from Chessbase. What
was not publicised was she was 4 months
pregnant!! I think that?s a first for women
chess. |
