Message: Let me give you a web site that with a little playing about in it will give you a good feel for most openings as the site has thousands logged and their variations. You can hit clear the board anytime and then click on the piece you want moved and options will appear to choice from. Once you hit a known opening it labels it for you and shows you the BEST responces and also alternative ones. Even explains the overall theme of the opening. In the main page hit on clear board or go to drop window and short or long list of openings. Alot on the site so investigate. www.eudesign.com/chessops/ Heck of a tool!!!!

The ten-round Swiss tournament was the last to be held as part of the Liverpool 2008 European Capital of Culture celebrations. The chess tournaments were supported by Liverpool John Moores University and the Capital of Culture Company and included the prestigious UK v China chess match in 2007 as well as two European Union Chess Championships.

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.

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.
