Re: Premier League Fantasy Football
I'm top of the league for 2 weeks running, and this thread dries up - typical!

Re: My Story
So sorry to hear of all your troubles. You were a fantastic coach for the Welsh Juniors in Prague and any nation would be lucky to have you. Think carefully before jumping from the frying pan into the fire. The Welsh Chess Union are currently being sued after refusing to investigate our claim of Ne...

Thank you Richard. That is an interesting questionRichard James wrote:
Did this actually happen, or was the investigation actually carried out by the Director of Junior Chess, or by someone appointed by him?

Re: Telegraph report about Austria
I wonder if we'll ever get to hear the other side of the story. From everything I've read so far I find it very difficult to side with Mr Rahman. His wife seems to have expected the others to conform to her beliefs under threat of being branded racists if they didn't (not consuming alcohol for examp...

Re: Mobile Phones Issues in FIDE Events
Michael I sympathise with you. It seems the forumites have decided to hijack this thread with pointless stories of beeping mobiles. You make a good point that these arbiter decisions need to be stamped out. The rules are the rules and should be followed to the letter. If my daughter was the female i...

Re: BEWARE – Chess Coaching Scams
I'm totally behind Sabrina on this. The thought of some imposter teaching my daughter how not to play good chess would infuriate me. If a school wants to promote chess then I feel we all have a duty to help them get the right person in there.

Re: An Open Letter to CJ De Mooi
It's the first time we've really had anyone who has had a degree of success obtaining sponsorship (well, that I can remember anyway)! Your evidence for the idea that CJ has "had a degree of success obtaining sponsorship" is ...? (I'm not saying you're wrong, I just don't know if you're right - whic...

I'd love to reset my falling rating - my only worry is it will come out even worse than my current one!

Not that I'll be any great loss to chess but I too have decided to make the switch to poker as a main hobby.

Re: Does publishing games give anyone an advantage?
I just read the article. The reason it's one sided is because black played good moves. Lorin offered some improvements/alternatives for both colours. If anything I feel Rohan should have taken a lesson from the article's advice. It explained where he went wrong and why. Surely this was invaluable in...
