THIS IS a place for you to post your greatest games for all to see and not worry about sounding big headed! As for every great win there is a great loss! As we all know. But this is the place to show off the times a plan did come together and you played some winning chess! Those battles that maybe went unnoticed except by you and your opponent. So feel free to show those conquests off here!!!

"Chess is life in miniature" Kasparov You start out by learning the basics & how to find your way around your environment/board. Then you have to enter an arena of other minds & come out yourself & interact. Whether you feel ready or not. Its on!! You get beaten, you make mistakes! You get too caught up in your own plans & miss what else is going on and it can cost you! But as you grow you start to take less damage from others and start to hold your own as they try to bring the hammer down! What dont kill ya?! You become stronger and more successful through actually playing the damn game instead of just thinking about it! Taking all the shots and spitting em back. Then as you start to get good & start to feel on top of your game. Someone comes along & knocks you off your perch! Reminding you to stop taking it all too seriously! There is no final state of mastery. No matter how much you thought you had it all sussed out! It does us well to be humbled So enjoying the ride, and remembering, its just a ride! Seems to be the point, and the meaning of life/chess!!!!

Hey Chessaholics, know any good films/movies centered on chess? Just if your like me & love all things chess related! I can only think of 2 really! KNGHTS OF SOUTH BRONX is one of em. Its a really nice film based on a true story about a teacher who brings hope to kids that have never had that! Its made great by Ted Danson of all people! Its sorta like the utterly amazing Dead Poets Society (but knowhere near as good obviously) In the sense that, instead of poetry being the catalyst of transformation. It is our great game of chess! INNOCENT MOVES is the other. (aka finding Bobby Fischer) The best thing about this film is we get Laurence Fishburne ( the mighty Morpheus ) as the street chess hustler. Then there is another guy who is a GM and dosnt believe that the aggressive sacrafice chess is real chess. They are both teaching the main character who is a young chess genius there own style. We get to see him integrate both ways at the end. Funny scene too, where the boy kicks his dads arse at chess and his dad is really trying! KNIGHT MOVES is another one, i havnt seen that though. Its got Christopher Lambert in. If you know of any others post em here!!

http://www.chess.com/blog/softpetals/some-observations-about-knight A knight always moves from a light square to a dark one and vice versa and if in the end game you are fed up of his repeated checks then if you place your king on the same diagonal on which the knight stands but with one intervening square between them the king cannot be checked under three moves.

One for all the metalheads of the group! We could probably argue for days, weeks even years about our fav METALLICA song but lets see if there is the same broad spectrum for the worst? Have at it friends \m/ \m/

this is a disscution the me and jasonlawson are always having just want to hear your opinions

Sad but true & Until it sleeps could be seen as two sides of the same coin! In Sad, Hetfield personifies the manipulating, self destructive internal dialogue that bashes away at the ego. Draining it of self-esteem and eroding it of self worth! Completely in control of its puppet. He even has the arrogance to give the game away when he reveals "IM YOU!" In Sleeps, he becomes the victim of this esteem robbing monster! Pleading with this thing inside without a care to just leave him alone! Like he has no control of the thing that should not be (but is!) there lurking beneath the ego's scope of awareness. Swimming in the unconscious! And when the unnamed feeling strkes, it appears to be coming AT the ego/self. A seemingly alien force completely outside ones volition. Its sad, but unfortunately true! It will not sleep for good until one starts to re-own aspects of their own mind that have been split off, at some junction of development. Then began to develop a life of their own! In the unconscious! Biting at the ankles of the growing ego/self. Desperatly trying to gain control and bring development to a crashing halt! Pulling the self back to the narcissistic stage these split off aspects are at, and have remained at, since their dissociation from the growth & maturity. So, the frayed ends of sanity can only be woven back together by reclaiming ownership of these little shits! Learning to start to see IT as I. For example; The statement "this anger/depression, IT seems to just come over me" should be turned into "I have anger/depression, and I wont let myself be overpowered by my own emotions!" Renaming 3rd person symptoms into 1st person experiences. Thus teasing IT out from the unconscious, and into the burning light of conscious awareness. Then, and only then! Can the bleeding of me, become the healing of me!
