Thanks, Idreesarif, my info is from a book dated 1993, and I forgot to mention that !

haha! that's funny! thx for the info. I just wanted to know that. FROM NOW ON, THIS PAGE IS GOING TO BE USED JUST FOR DISCUSSION ABOUT ANY CHESS TOPIC.

OK let's discuss who is awesomer, knights or bishops.

I say knights, because they have their own unique move that even the queen can't do. and bishops can only get on half of the squares on the move.

So You ARE a cow! That explains alot. 

The longest chess game ever was actually Rybka (Computer) vs. Hikaru Nakamura (Human). Nakamura won the game by checkmate on the 271st move, see it here: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1497429
