In US of A, a student leader who has helped young chess players from his school will have to say goodbye for this year because he’s running for KU student body president with the Student Senate coalition ConnectKU.Volunteering for chess.
Here's Denis Monokroussos blog called Chess Mind. I was surprised to have read his post about linking back called A note to linking solicitors because his blog title Chess mind has always flooded my chess alerts and I have always believed he would always receive email request for a link back. Read this:
For a long time, no one expressed much of a desire to have me link to them, but the last few weeks in particular this has changed in a big way. I'm not sure why this is - maybe it started with Peter Doggers of Chess Vibes setting an example. He hasn't been shy about promoting his website whenever something new appears there, and maybe his boldness has been contagious.
Whatever the case, I'm not enjoying the attention, as a steady stream of solicitors, often of truly awful sites, have come knocking on my mailbox. So in case anyone reading this is preparing to request that I mention your website or add it to my blogroll, here are the rules.
So what you think? Well, for one, Denis is an established writer/blogger and he is I believe one of the most sought-after chessman with a chess mind online. His thoughts and writings shows us his clear understanding of the phenomenon. Chill out my dear Denis, I hope it helps soothe down the difficulty of having to deal with fame with the fact that you are getting the attention for good reasons!
Draws in the professional and top level chess games have caused a certain group to make a move and write a letter to FIDE. Here's a
The Chess Dilemna by Stewart Reuben, FIDE chairman of Organizer's committee. What's on your mind?
And here is Kindred's Kaleidoscope blogpost on England’s Czar of Chess... Howard Staunton?
Do you believe Karpov never really played against Fischer? Maybe they never did in front of the cameras or in public view but certainly they could have. One for the secret files? Anyways, I had this thought running while reading Chess legend Karpov visits with Stevenson High School team. One more chess advise for my compilation of sorts courtesy of the former world champ:
"If you forget, it's much better for your chess career."
And here's one article to support any ASA's or After-School-Activity programs in schools: Unlikely Chess Champions Avoid After-School Dangers . Yes my dear readers,one of the main reasons why extra-curricular activities are important. Amen to that!
Chess news from Belize is here. Anywhere in the world the youth is taking on the challenge against their much older, much experienced rivals. The gate has been opened wide and in a year or two we might have a world champion who's age qualifies for a junior chess championship. Here in the Philippines, we have GM Wesley So taking the number 3 spot for the country's Top ten chess players. Wesley also placed 7Th in the world's youngest player to become a GM. The changing of the guards happened earlier and the Internet played the major role for this. Believe it or not!
The Fischer-Marcos connection is a well-known fact and there's a book written by Larry Evans that shows Fischer's letter, in the first chapter which has something to do with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos on the latter's offer to host the match Fischer-Karpov! Interestingly, the book is called The four way chess maybe a lot more confusing than the three-way chess. In anyways, it's far from getting the nod of FIDE and the mainstream chess people. Standard chess is insanity causing game enough to further unsimplify it. No thanks!

The Serbian Chess Championship 2008 happens March 15-28. Everyone's gearing up for the Olympiad guys. Ten Grandmasters and some IM's are joining in what may also be their qualifiers for their national team. Aren't you scared for our Philippine Team?
If there was one player who never backpedalled against an opponent, it should be this guy. Look in his eyes and you'll see the soul of a warrior who showed the world what a 14 hour a day chess training can do. His games will forever guide the next generation of chess players. Before I end this post, let me share two quotes that caught my inattention:"Chess is meditation. Chess is communion with the Creator."
Spencer R. Lower
"Chess demands total concentration and a love for the game." Bobby Fischer
