Just as some plants bear fruit only if they don't shoot up too high,
so in practical arts the leaves and flowers of theory must be pruned and the
plant kept close to its proper soil - experience. - Carl von Clausewitz from the editor...In the
March 2, 2003 issue of TCW I told you about chess trainer Nick Beqo's
site. Since then Nick has improved his site's

changed too:

As a special incentive to our readers, Nick has agreed to discount his
already low fees an additional 20% for the first month if you mention

Your job is to choose a Fantasy Chess Team to represent you at Budapest. You will choose players to represent you in the following categories, "White Wins", "Black Wins", "White Losses", "Black Losses" and two "Bonus Players". You will score points based on how good your selections are, e.g. try to choose the player you think will score the most wins with the white pieces for the "White Wins" selection.
The Mad Aussie's Chess Trivia Too Many Queens?: There have only been 2 "serious" games in which 5 Queens appeared on the board at one time: Tresling-Benima, Winschoten 1896; and Vondug-Lamprecht, Corr., West Germany 1972. The record for the most Queens to appear in the course of a single game was set by the game Konopleva-Schmidke, 1963, in which 7 different queens made an appearance at one stage or another. Black had 4 queens; to White's 3, and won the game. Select Company: David Janowski and Siegbert Tarrasch were the only two players who defeated Wilhelm Steinitz, Emanuel Lasker, Jose Capablanca and Alexander Alekhine in serious tournament/match play.
