Help with Teaching?
Hi everyone. I've just recently been given the task of teaching chess to a five-year old. She starting to get how the pieces move (lots of trouble with the Knight, though), but I'm at a loss for how to proceed. Does anybody out there have any experience with teaching this age group? I don't! :) She'...

If you were using the navigational buttons to look at some of the past moves, and if you pressed the 'Move' button while still looking at one of these past positions, that message will pop up. No, it doesn't screw the game up and permanently change the game board (unless you made a really bad move :...

Not another discussion on the rating system! This topic seems to get raised every two-three months, and always with a debate! Well, right about now, the Zapper usually comes out to remind us that chess is FUN, whearas arguing over a stupid number is decidedly NOT FUN. Oh, there is an easy, but drast...

Canadian Chess
Hi Graham, The current Canadian Team is the Canadian Gambits. If you have registered at the Chess-Teams web-site, you may be asked to join the Team when a current player leaves the team. I'm the former Captain of the Canadian Gambits, and I know from personal experience that there is a surprising ra...

Contact a Player
After you have sent a player a message, one must use the Back buttons to navigate back to Net-Chess home. I would like a link there that takes you back directly.

The game will stay in your 'All My Games' list for 24 hours. Don't worry, the loss is already official, and you don't have to do anything. Before the 'Most Recent Completed Games' list, there was no way to know if an opponent resigned or not because the game just disappeared! So, Greg put in the fea...

Agreed! I was going to post something along this line, but you beat me to it! I'll just have to beat you at the board then! :wink: Holiday wishes and season's greetings and all that to everyone. My Christmas break starts now, so don't expect many moves between now and next year! Take care, -- Jonathan

Help with King's Gambit
Can somebody help me with this line of the King's Gambit: 1.e5 e5; 2.f4 d6?! I know it's dubious and I usually get a fine game, but I feel like I'm missing something, and my small, old, out-dated text doesn't touch it. After Nf3, I've seen Bg4 (then ... f5 in one game!), g6, Nc6, Nd7 -- well, just a...

Bottom line: when I buy anything over the Internet, I do not expect a tax break. Because the word happens to be 'DONATION' and not 'PURCHASE' should not make a big deal. Mathematically, 30 dollars a year (the highest suggested donation) is less than a dime a day, less than your daily Tim Hortons or ...

Hi, everyone
Wow. It's hard to believe that it's been a year since I was last playing chess... crazy. In any event, I'm back, and hoping for some great chess. Since my old handle (dragonpower) has an unsettling amount of time outs, I've opted to 'retire' it and go for the simple jpettit. On a personal note, I wo...
