Links and Sidebar Stuff (New and Good!)

Posted by Wahrheit - November 29, 2007 on 12:21 am | In ChessWeb, Robert Pearson | Comments Off My friend Eric Shoemaker is consolidating his stuff on Pale Rider so his deleted blogs are gone. Chess-videos.com has been Chess Videos TV for awhile; and I need to get over there more often! Added Chess Tempo to "Chess Improvement." New and good!---gorckat's Chess Adventures. Rich Dailey's (n8ux) Pawned (formerly Out of the Ether, still great video links)! Big Five Chess. Chess Tyro.

 


And Then There Were Six

Posted by Wahrheit - November 27, 2007 on 10:25 pm | In ChessWeb, Robert Pearson | Comments Off Yet another Reno Chess Club blogger! Chessboozer (aka John Clifford) makes the scene with Chess Karma, and his second post is already a LOL--10 Ways to Make Chess More Popular, including: Bring Back the Cold War, Chess Hooliganism and...Cheerleaders! Well, I don't know if chess has ever had cheerleaders but if not, then bring 'em on.

Garingo-Pearson 11.08.07 1-0 (Redux)

Posted by Wahrheit - November 14, 2007 on 1:05 am | In ChessWeb, Robert Pearson | Comments Off If you look to the post immediately below you'll see my game from last week, and read about the problems with getting annotations to work on Chess Publisher 2. When I pasted my pgn into the blog at chess.com (as recommended by Blue Devil Knight) it worked perfectly--see here. (On the other hand I see BDK just posted a Chess Publisher game on his blog). So my question to readers; if you're

Posted by Wahrheit - November 7, 2007 on 12:41 am | In ChessWeb, Robert Pearson | Comments Off Kevin Gafni, an up-and-coming player with a pleasing style, has entered the chess blogging universe with drunknknite. That makes five of our Reno Chess Club members who are blogging; I don't know what the leading chess blogging club in the U.S. or the World might be, but whoever it is watch out because we will catch and pass you! Kevin has played several riveting games that I've seen parts of (

 


How Good (or Lame) is the New USCF Site?

Posted by Wahrheit - November 6, 2007 on 11:59 pm | In ChessWeb, Robert Pearson, USCF | Comments Off Over at BCC, a post about Jack Le Moine's experiences at the recent USCF Executive Board meeting produces an extended run of comments about how bad the USCF's new website sucks. I noticed the other day that when I tried to link to USCF player pages it didn't work, and now I know why. Luckily, "Dan" provides a link to the old pages at http://www.uschess.org/msa/MbrLst.php. Hope it lasts,

 


Chess Publisher Version 2

Posted by Wahrheit - November 6, 2007 on 12:51 am | In ChessWeb, Robert Pearson | Comments Off I've noticed this in use at a couple of my favorite blogs now, including dk's Chess Improvement and Liquid Egg Product, and finally got around to working with it. It looks like a nice upgrade from v. 1 that I used previously, but anyway both are available here. Having the annotations in the same window is a step forward. In order to test it out I put in a game that I'd had trouble getting to
