What's here? My comments about chess and my pdf booklets on players and tournaments. PLUS links to sites about chess history, scholastic help, chess books (on line and downloadable), places to play chess online (real time and correspondence), Soviet chess sites, chess instruction, recommended books, chess engines, endgame databases and other really great Blogs. You will find posts about chess engines, well-known and not-so-well-known historical figures, great games and a lot of other things about chess that I have found interesting or informative. There are also posts on improvement containing subject matters like pattern recognition and how chess masters think. Most improvement advice has been gleaned from the masters themselves and psychological studies which have attempted to understand the thought process of chess masters. Be sure to take time to browse the whole Blog for interesting material. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Tarrasch GUI



This is an extremely easy to use GUI that is intended to be simpler than any of the others available. In fact some reviews believed it was too simple to meet their needs, but for anyone desiring a GUI that is simple to use, this one is pretty good. The simplicity of Tarrasch doesn't mean there are no powerful features though. The move list is very nice with variations in bold and in color. When it comes to entering notes it has all the features of the more sophisticated programs. One feature that seems to be missing though is the capability to print out the game.
If you want to do simple analysis then this one is about as easy to use as they get; you can have it running in a minute.  You can download Tarrasch GUI with the free Rybka 2.3.2a engine installed HERE.
