The ongoing World Cup of Chess, produce a lot of surprises, young GM's were showing their strength against the worlds elite 2700 club. I could sense these will produce a lot of upsets and novelties, as lower rated GM's will have a chance to showcase their talents against the best of the game. I'm placing my bet to young GM Wesley So, who, just yesterday, beat GM Ivanchuk (R2 game1).

hi, I also play a lot of chess. I could say that all piece have relative strength, it's how we gonna use them to maximize full potential or proper piece placement at any given time and situation that matters. I prefer two Rooks agains a Queen but then again its really the actual situation on the board dictate, who's really had the edge.

hi, There is a lot of Chess Opening Moves that evolve thru the years, whether Queen's Pawn or King's Opening, both are Good Starting Move, opening up the Middle for piece deployment. Though a lot of Hypermodern Openings like Nf3, which offer flexibility, adds interest in these game.

Are'nt the beatles were Christian?, I've read them specially John Lennon saying they are popular than Jesus Christ. If this is true, then this words are blasphemous, an unchristian like statement. But then their music prove otherwise, a little bit confusing.

hi,I think its ok if 23 retires from NBA. Everyone who plays in the NBA wants to curve his own name in this league, and bearing these jersey number, who belong to the greatest player the league have known, will surely been notice. But there name will only be in the shadow of the player who really own these number. There will never be another Michael Jordan.

yeah you got it right!!! The Philippines bless with a tropical climate, envy by some other countries, is now experiencing politically motivated killings. Even journalist were not spared by those soul-less goons of a Pres. Arroyo's protected clan in Maguindanao. Though these is really isolated case not within the whole country. I know God will not let these people go unpunished.
