Are quick draws ever a good thing? -- I don't think so.
However I did agree to a very quick draw two weekends ago in a situation where I didn't feel comfortable. Looking back on the game and the position, I still don't know whether I made a good decision or not. But I think my position could not have been much worse if it was any , play online chess ...
Medieval Chess -- I am currently looking into chess in the medieval period (approx 500AD - 1500AD)as a university research project. I would be grateful for any suggestions for reputable books, websites etc. you may know. There is a lot of information out there, (much of it useless!) so if it can be narrowed down a li, play online chess ...
Burn Variation French -- Hi there,
I've played the Burn variation in the French on a number of occasions.
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 dxe4. Now white usually plays Nxe4, however I played a game where my opponent played 5.Bxf6.
Now this move isn't played very much, and after the game I tried to look it up in som, play online chess ...
Endgame Book -- Does anyone know a good book on endgames?
Thanks in advance. If there is an endgame book that I will recommend, it would be Silman's "Complete Endgame Book". This book is different from other endgame books in terms of presentation. Other endgame books categorize endings accoring to pi, play online chess ...

WCC -- Tomorrow the match between Anand and Kramnik starts for the world tittle.

How to improve -- I'm pretty new here. I've only finished 39 games. I'm returning to the game after not playing for a while--ten or fifteen years, I guess.

1.e4= Best by test. -- 1.e4 is the most used first-move in chess. But someone (like me) plays other openings like 1.c4 or 1.d4 or even 1.e3. But if they say e4 is the best move, why so much people uses other openings? Maybe 'cause a player feels better with c4 or d4....(like for me), but I'd like to compare me with you, G, play online chess ...
A chess saying... -- "White plays to win, black plays to draw."
I don't remember who said it, but it's an interesting thing to talk about.
What do you think? I seems to have been the approach taken by many chess masters, but certainly not all. Judging by the recent World Championship match, Vishy Anand ha, play online chess ...
The X-Rated Albin Counter-Gambit -- This article by Andrew Martin, which Martin admits himself is propaganda in favor of the opening, inspired me to buy Martin's DVD on the opening. I know it's probably not sound, but it really is a fun opening. And it was used successfully by no lesser of a player than Lasker.

Against e6 Sicilian -- 1.e4 c5 2.Af3 e6 are the first two moves of any game.
How must white play against this less common sicilian? If you mean with A the Q: well.....Gameknot database says the most common move after that Sicilian is Bc4, but my suggestion is to develop every piece quickly, so you can play not only B, play online chess ...
Can you castle onto an occupied square? -- Can you legally castle if your king's target square is occupied by an enemy piece?
I looked up the castling rules on Wikipedia and FIDE, and found nothing to prohibit the king from castling onto an occupied square. I assume the king would capture the enemy piece on the target square just as it, play online chess ...

Pieces score in endgames. -- I watched many endgames in which a player who has only a Rook doesn't win against another player who has only a bishop. Searching in Internet about this fact, I've found 90% Rook vs Bishop is a draw. And I know a player who has 2 bishops (without pawns) can win against a lonely king, while 2 knights, play online chess ...
