Movement seen

Hey there!

After months of non-visits to NCFP Website, I gave it a try and peeped into the sight and was surprised to have seen some addition into the site. Most articles posted dealt on the April month of Philippine Chess. They posted the results from three regional qualifying tournaments for the Philippine Chess Team to Dresden 2008.

An update calendar of activities was there too... Am expecting the page to be modified hopefully on a daily basis by next week for the day by day accounts of the age group. Crossing my fingers now!

The Sydney International Open is heating up and you can visit the official site here.Looks like the organizers did their job preparing for this event. Congratulations!

To refresh your chess mindedness (as if you need to) with finding combinations, why don't you visit Chess Teacher? Amazingly, at first glance I saw the Bxf7+ but I slapped my face to check if I was possessed by the soul of Bobby Fischer. Hehehhe! I wasn't... must be the long hours of mate in blah-blah drills. Speaking of the Great Intellectual Irony, let me share you this post from Chess for All Ages which did a post called Four Fischer Analytical Errors and send me your thoughts.

In the US of A, they bring down buildings to put up chess parks... can we do that here?

Finally, do you have one of the five best chess books in the world? Or you have all of them? Five Best Chess Books in the world and on top of the list is My 60 Memorable Games. Of course you'd argue that these so-called best in the and world's best a subjective thingy but hey, we are entitled to such subjectivity right?
