Shalom JTF!
I'm curious, you know the most famous chess players were Jews. The Hungarian chess champions were mostly Jews too. And I played chess for 7 years. I was 5. of the International Chess Championship of 2003, here is my diploma:

And I was student of the legendary famous Lajos Portisch who is a Hungarian-Jew. :dance: :-[

ProudZ,
I like Chess, my grandfather taught me; but I am not very good.
I didn't have anyone to play or practice with, because he lived far away from me.
In my home with my parents, I played a lot of Backgammon with my Father.
I still play a lot of Backgammon.
Recently, I received a beautiful handcarved wooden Backgammon set from my friend when they returned from a trip to Israel.
I'm sure that there are sites online where I can start to practice and play Chess again.
I know there are sites for playing Backgammon, so there must be for Chess too.
I am going to check it out and give it a try.
Your diploma is quite impressive.
Chess is the thinking man's game, you must be a very good player.

When I was younger I was a good opponent. I have not really played a decent game in over 20 years. I try to play against the computer from time to time.
-
I am addicted to chess. There are more possible positions on a chess board than there are atoms in the universe. I study it. I read games and theory and I play every chance I get. Good opponents are hard to find.
-
I like the game but I haven't had time to play it or practice it.
-
Wants somebody play with me chess? :dance: Im bored.
-
I like cheese, especially on pizza... But as always I will wait about six hours before eating meat after I eat some cheese. I usually have a Large green pepper & onion pizza about once a week.

Great game but can consume to much time which can be spent on more meaningful endeavors.

It is very interesting game, but was invented for the ancient Indian Kings who had lot of free time on this earth to learn the war tactics on the boards. It was much before the time of Muslamic invasion.

I played chess with my father when I was little until I beat him. He hasn't played me since :::D :::D :::D

Zsofia Polgar is an amateur when compared to her sister Judit. But don't forget the eastern Eurpoean Jewish chess players.
-
Judit Polgár (born July 23, 1976) is a Hungarian chess grandmaster. She is by far the strongest female chessplayer in history.

I don't know if I like Chess or not, I've never played it. I'm lousy at strategy games though, so I imagine I'd suck at it. ;D

The 2 greatest chess players of all time, Bobby Fischer (who went insane and became a virulent anti-semite no less!) and Garry Kasparov: both Jews.

Hungarian from Vojvodina? Not Jewish?

By the way, by looking at those names, it just reminds me that JTF needs some add-ons, so we'll be able to see some letters (this has nothing to do with chess, but it does with players' names, lol).

I took a class once where we had to write a program to play chess and checkers. While checkers had a much simpler scoring system, the move generation was more complicated to program because of forced moves. Still, the checker program was able to look a little further ahead in the game tree than the chess program(we only had two minutes to calculate each move). Neither one was simple to write. I see that the solution to checkers was solved in 2007. The solution is a draw if both players play flawlessly. Maybe one day our machines will have enough memory and processing power to solve chess.

My brother was better than me at chess, but I could beat him sometimes because I would take forever between moves. He would go back to watching tv when it was my turn to move. He inevitably would rush his moves to get the game moving along and make mistakes. That's my trick!

It was not so easy... ::)
(I played chess for 8 years BTW)

I often use the Italian Opening. But the Russian Hussar Game is also very good.

Well you don't seem beginner. You were good and you could be a perfect player if you would practice more. This last game was a bit disappointed for me. You would have to won. (I did that button mistake). Anyway congrats!

Well I made a mistake by trading queens at the end. Before that trade, I thought I had the game.

Check out some strategies. I played 4 games today. 3(or 4?) with you and 1 with Sarah. :-[ I won.

Unfortunately, some of the champion chess-playing Jews have been monstrously self-hating, such as the late Bobby Fischer (ys"vz).
-
PS to the best of my knowledge, Kasparov is only half-Jewish (Jewish father). I don't think he is a halachic Jew.

You know which chess player really gets me upset?
His name was Bobby Fisher... I have heard that I may be distantly related to this putz. I used to have a autographed copy of one of his chess books... Thank Hashem I lost it and I hope this anti-semite is having a field day in hell right now...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Fisher
Anti-Jewish statements
Fischer, whose mother was Jewish,[112][213] made occasional hostile comments toward Jews from at least the early 1960s.[112][214] In 1961, he "made his first public statements despising Jews."[215] Jan Hein Donner wrote that at the time of Bled 1961, "He idolized Hitler and read everything about him that he could lay his hands on. He also championed a brand of antisemitism that could only be thought up by a mind completely cut off from reality."[89] Donner writes that he took Fischer to a war museum, which "left a great impression, since he is not an evil person, and afterwards he was more restrained in his remarks—to me, at least".[89]
