Hey guys im gonna start a word association. for the people who dont know what it is i will tell you. A word association is when someone says a word (Comments) and then someone else reads the word and then says the first thing that comes to their mind when they hear that word. Here is an example: zenweblo: king orchardbrian: chess Dukebob66: fun zeebobo: good times zenweblo: friends Thats basically what it is.

We need a couple 1800's and a lot of 1500's in the match against chess school http://www.chess.com/groups/team_match.html?id=106231 We can't let them have our 1200's play their 1400's!

As you know last months winner was mohadnif. This time for the month of February the winner is... JaimeSoares http://www.chess.com/members/view/JaimeSoares?nid=1349421 for participating in a TON of team matches and vote chess. Thanks guys and good luck for next month! Congrats JaimeSoares and too everyone else, there is always next month!

I think we should start an active member award. The person who me and the other admins think is the most active player by participating in team matches, vote ches and fourms. This month's winner is... mohdhanif! he won for participating in almost every team match we have!

Determine Your ELO - What's Your Skill Level? Hello, Kings of Chess! Thank you for reading this forum! Are you ready to determine your ELO rating? I assume you're here because you saw the word "ELO"? Well, as many of you already know, the ELO rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of chess players. If you currently are unaware of your ELO rating, then look no further! This forum, and website, will be able to help you! http://www.chessmaniac.com/ELORating/ELO_Chess_Rating.shtml This website has come to be known as the "Automated Chess Rating Utility". Before you use it, however, please know that the ELO rating you are provided with is an estimation! Your "skill level" will be determined based on ten puzzles that you provide your own answer with. Please do share the results you receive once you complete the exam! Thank you, sirs and madams! Good luck! Yours Truly, ~ CalbaMan
