Posted by ccmcacollister legalserv.com 5/17/2008 06:11:58 play online chess	No ... Message: I don't have mobile broadband and have not experienced it here at all. It would be interesting for you to see if it would happen to you on other sites, especially if they use a program like TimeSeal which is supposed to disregard the transmission time when debiting your clock. Such as Chessanytime.com chessanytimecom does. I have had time loss on two other sites tho, while it was my move. But the clocks there and connections too, were not very reliable at all. One of those sites also knocks you out of the blitz room about every third game, if they get more than 60 games going. The other often forfeits you when your clock still has even 10 or 12 seconds showing on it.

Chess news: Space chess -- A unique chess match is underway between Earth and Space as International Space Station astronaut Greg Chamitoff challenges all the planet’s inhabitants. Chess players from Earth will take their lead from the Stevenson Elementary School Chess Club in Bellevue, Washington State USA. The children will select up to four possible moves for Earth and an online vote will determine which one is played. Chamitoff, a flight engineer, brought a chess set with him when he arrived on the STS-124 space shuttle in June. While speeding about 210 miles above the Earth at five miles a second he has defeated all comers from the mission’s base stations and needs some tougher chess ... Topalov back on top -- Veselin Topalov has regained the top spot on the Fide ranking list after his success at the Grand Slam Final in Bilbao. His fine victory over Ivanchuk in the last round, which we have already seen, was ultimately decisive as Topalov gained five points and Ivanchuk, who is now third, lost five. Alexander Morozevich remains in second place and the Norwegian teenager Magnus Carlsen is up to fourth. The results at Bilbao and the Tal Memorial mean that the forthcoming world title contest between Vishy Anand and Vladimir Kramnik will be between the fifth ranked and six ranked chess players. Both Anand and Kramnik were doubtless distracted by the preparations for the title match and this explains ... 1.b3 or not 1.b3? -- The Russian Chess Championship Superfinal starts today in Moscow with twelve chess Grandmasters, eleven ranked in the world’s top 100, competing for a 5 million rouble (about $200,000) prize fund. The top seed is world number two Alexander Morozevich. Most of Russia’s leading chess players will compete apart from Vladimir Kramnik whose title match against Vishy Anand begins in eleven days time in Bonn. I detailed my long standing prejudice against the move 1.b3 yesterday, here is some more recent ...
