Title: Chess.....Bobby Fischer......etc. Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, March 24, 2005, 13:49:03 ....anybody here play or any good at chess.....this bit of news today caught my attention about Bobby Fischer.
http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/swissinfo.html?siteSect=143&sid=5625271 I seem to recall Ossie Ardiles was a keen player. Title: Chess.....Bobby Fischer......etc. Post by: janaage on Thursday, March 24, 2005, 13:52:18 I saw that but on the Beeb website. Quality story.
He actually said the attacks on the US were a good thing. It's time to finish off the states once and for all, I believe he said on a Phillipines radio station.

Yep i play chess all the time! Love the game! It is great for the brain and really relaxing also! Title: Chess.....Bobby Fischer......etc. Post by: janaage on Thursday, March 24, 2005, 13:57:11 I haven't played chess for years, used to love a game back in the day. My Mrs likes the game too so she says, so I might have to purchase the equipment and give her the hiding of her life!!

Title: Chess.....Bobby Fischer......etc. Post by: Titch on Thursday, March 24, 2005, 14:00:16 Did anyone watch those matches between Kasparov and the IBM computer a few years back (think it was called deep blue or something like that)? It was really good!
Title: Chess.....Bobby Fischer......etc. Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, March 24, 2005, 14:01:32 Presumably you can play internet chess somehow......not that I've tried. I used to play as a kid into my youth, but then not seriously so I'm probably worse now then when I was 15.
Title: Chess.....Bobby Fischer......etc. Post by: Titch on Thursday, March 24, 2005, 14:04:47 I assume you can, i'll have to have a look, never really looked before! I have a chess game on my phone that i play at work and apart from that got a computer chess at home and a normal chess board! I know there are some really advanced computer-based versions that you can buy but they are not cheap!

It was often said that chess being a game essentially of domination and logic, wasn't suited to women, which explained why there weren't many women grandmasters. Which is of course crap.....Judit Polgar (sp) was decent a few years back.

I must say i have never met a women who can play chess any good! :soapy tit wank:

I used to have a program for the Spectrum which I've still got in working order......what I didn't like about it was the need to translate my 3D tactile programming to the machines 2D presentation. Title: Chess.....Bobby Fischer......etc. Post by: Titch on Thursday, March 24, 2005, 14:15:06 You still got an old spectrum? Which one? I used to have a few old spectrums etc. In fact it was on an old spectrum that i wrote my first ever computer program, took hours just to write a football game and then when you turned it off you lost it! :cry:

Title: Chess.....Bobby Fischer......etc. Post by: Amir on Thursday, March 24, 2005, 20:09:39 Love the game but never have anyone to play it with. I used to win all the time so people refused to play me, then I started playing online where most kicked my arse because they actually knew something about the game.
I'd never heard of Bobby Fischer before today. |
