    after playing for 15 years I am finally giving up a game that I have perfected
    I cant say im going to regret it, to much snobbery amongst the powers that be.

    its a pity the irish chess scene doesn't match that of the americans in terms of organisation and spirit.

    Hello all,
    I am just sending out some feelers on whether this is a good idea or not,
    I want to hold a one day chess Rehab for players aged over 25 years no youngsters or people withou a sense of humour,
    You will be tested at door.
    Only for players under 2000,
    a sort of get together for liked minded patzers
    It will be hosted by myself international Chess idiot,

    please leave a opinion to gauge uptake
    Kind regards

    Great idea

    Lads there's no youth emerging in chess... I played 10's of people who's age range from 16 to 23 and they all play the exact same straight out of the book openings most refuse to use a pen and pad

    It's a dying scene

    I remain unchallenged, tonight will be my last game against another one of the ICUs poster boys

    Yet another victory no doubt, but this time I will be recording with a secret camera so the world can see the truth

    No, Judit is Judit Polgar, who announced in the Times today that she's retiring from tournament play after 25 years of being the top woman in tournament chess in the world and several years in the top ten overall.

    Rumours that Benildus are currently negotiating her entry to the club's Armstrong team for next year are utterly unfounded, I wouldn't pay them much heed at all.

    typical

    And a cry for help goes unanswered, Does chess breed this type of behaviour ??????
    Or was it there all along???????
    As Russian Saying goes
    you dont play chess, chess plays you......

    Shame on you all....
