MaxxLange: <Cactus> 6.a4 is logical, sure, but it hasn't scored that well in GM level chess. Down in the fish tank, though, any playable system that you study and believe in can work..club players are often booked up in a few main lines, but not in the sidelines. I won some nice games ...

MaxxLange: You have to feel for the person(s) who pick these puzzles. If they use an old-style sac-the-queen-for-mate-in-1 on Mondays, we are all "This was TOO EASY - even for a Monday". But a problem like today? "Seems like it was a Tuesday or Wednesday puzzle" This was easy enough once you

MaxxLange: <Master Chess (32 bit 20 MHz)> How old is that thing? One of my friends has one of those old Fidelity chess computers. It finds amazing stuff if you let it run long enough

MaxxLange: <Woody Wood Pusher> The "King's Indian Attack" is a reversed KID: White plays Nf3, d3, g3, Bg2, etc. A lot of its devotees play it by transposition against the French or against Sicilians with ...e6 Why is there no "Queen's Indian Attack"?
