play online chess |  Subject: Beware of the Long Range Bishop
Message:
Long range bishops can do a lot of damage. We are used to losing material through knight forks etc. but what about the bishops? Well, I have two annotated games where my long range bishops have scored big points. I have called these games "Ware of the Long Range Bishop" Part 1 and Part 2.
The weather is really hot in England at the moment so I think I will have a drink of water when I have typed this.
Have a nice evening folks!
Bye for now.
Joanne

In Chess, Records Were Made to Be Broken -- On Feb. 21, Kiril Georgiev of Bulgaria played chess against 360 people simultaneously in Sofia, Bulgaria, breaking the world record for such a feat.

The previous record holder, Andrew Martin, an English international master, had played 321 chess opponents at Wellington College in Berkshire, England, on Feb. 21, 2004. Susan Polgar of the United States played chess against 326 people simultaneously at a mall in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., in August 2005, but the Guinness Book of World Records did not recognize her record as official. It took Georgiev more than 14 hours to set his record. Oddly enough, that effort ...
