Hello Members. We just started our First Vote Chess game since I have kind of taken the reigns of the Team here. We have 4 people, including me signed up to play our first game of Vote Chess in some time. But, we need like one or two more members to make it more interesting. Cmon Team! Sign Up Now!

As soon as a Team Accepts this Match, we are off! This one is for the Lower rated players, since I ALWAYS see Matches where a Team invites you so you go there, waste your time and then it says 'Your Rating is to low' or Vice Versa. Lowere rated players never get it easy on here!

Hey everyone. Sign up fast for the newly created 'Mystery Team Match #5! It's only up to 5 members fast, so please rush on over there and register! Play Hard Guys! Later, Paul G.

Hey there everyone! I JUST accepted a Team Match against 'Rotary Chess Team'. It's a Five player Match and I signed up for it, so there is 4 Seats left for our Team. Hurry up and I'll see you there. Paul G.

Hello Cheers! I have been asked to run Cheers! I want to thank Mike Doyle for making me the team Captain. I like Team Captain better then Super Admin, it sounds a whole lot better. At the moment I do not plan on making any changes. I want to get to know you all and see what 'Cheers' is all about. If any of you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send me a message. I am here for you all. Lets have a beer and play some chess! -Bob

Get your pieces out into the centre quickly. The opening is a race to see who can get their pieces out first while keeping at least a share of control of the centre. This is the main point to remember; all the other rules are just footnotes to this one More detail on winning the race: Move pieces not pawns, and move them to their best squares in one move if you can, and also try to gain time if you can by aggressive moves. Move minor pieces out first, not your Q or RRs which can be attacked and lose time Get a firm foothold in the centre and don't give it up Generally move Knights straightaway to f3/c3 or f6/c6 Move your king to safety at the side by castling King's-side (which also gets your Rook into play) Complete your development before moving a piece twice or starting an attack Keep your queen safe Don't grab pawns or attack if you haven't completed development What to do if there is a lead in development: If you are ahead in development, start something going and open up lines for your better pieces If you are behind in development, don't start anything and keep things closed until you have caught up Lasker's rules for the opening Do not move any pawns in the opening of a game but the King and Queen pawns. Do not move any piece twice in the opening, but put it at once on the right square. Bring out your knights before developing your bishops, especially the Queen's Bishop. Do not pin the adverse King Knight (ie. by Bg5) before your opponent has castled. Why should you move the knights first? Well, knights are very much more effective if they are in the centre. (Bishops are more effective here too, but they can work from a distance). For the opening that has to mean Knights moving to c3 and f3 (or c6 and g6). Where should the Bishops go? The White King's Bishop on f1 could go to b5,c4,d3 or even e2. Which is best? That depends on what your opponent is up to. So, move your knights straight away to the centre, and while you are doing that your opponent's moves may suggest to you where you should put your bishops. Fine's rules for the opening Open with either the e-pawn or the d-pawn. Wherever possible, make a good developing move which threatens something or adds to the pressure on the centre. Develop knights before bishops. Pick the most suitable square for a piece and develop it there once and for all. Make one or two pawn moves in the opening, not more. Do not bring your queen out too early. Castle as soon as possible, preferably on the king's side. Play to get control of the centre. Always try to maintain at least one pawn in the centre. Do not sacrifice without a clear and adequate reason, eg.: it secures a tangible advantage in development it deflects the opponent's queen it prevents the opponent from castling it enables a strong attack to be developed Nimzovitch's Seven Axioms (from My System) Development is to be understood as the strategic advance of the troops toward the frontier line (the line between the fourth and fifth ranks). A pawn move must not in itself be regarded as a devloping move, but merely as an aid to development. To be ahead in development is the ideal to be aimed for. Exchange with resulting gain of tempo. Liquidation, with consequent development or disembarrassment. The pawn centre must be mobile. There is no time for pawn hunting in the opening, except for centre pawns.

Hey everyone! In celebration of the 2010 Fifa World Cup in less than 2 weeks, Avril's International Team is hosting the chess version of the world cup, here on chess.com and we have been invited to participate. The tournament will run the same way as the World cup does: 32 participants will be in the first round, in 8 groups of 4. The top 2 players in each group will advance to the knockout stages, which is 1 on 1, until we have only 1 player left. In the spirit of Fifa, we're aiming to have 1 player from each of the participating countries. If we can't get a player from each country (which is very likely), we will allocate a country for the players to represent. Please let me know if you would like to join the tournament by sending me a message or posting it below. This is an invitation tournament, so if you don't tell me, you won't be invited to join the tournament. The tournament will start on the same day the Fifa World Cup starts, on 11 June. The participating countries in the world cup are: South Africa Mexico Uruguay France Argentina Nigeria Korea Republic (South Korea) Greece England U.S.A. Algeria Slovenia Germany Australia Serbia Ghana Netherlands Denmark Japan Cameroon Italy Paraguay New Zealand Slovakia Brazil Korea DPR (North Korea) Ivory Coast Portugal Spain Switzerland Honduras Chile Good luck! -Bob
