Chess Computers - Should You Get One?

The chess computer is a tool, a skill builder if you want. For those who really enjoy the game of chess, there is no better partner to play. While many who want to play chess to enjoy one of these computers, I have to say, they are often expensive and are often use complicated for a novice computer user. But for others it is very great tools for your chess career.

I recommend you to use Houdini also rybka 1.5 and 4 for the study.

The name Houdini was chosen because of the engine's positionaly style, its tenacity in difficult positions and its ability to defend stubbornly and escape with a draw – sometimes by the narrowest of margins. On the other hand Houdini will often use razor-sharp tactics to deny its opponents escape routes when it has the better position.
The Rybka 4 opening book is a high-class compilation of opening theory. It was developed for the world’s strongest chess program Rybka 4 and will maximize the program’s playing strength. The choice of variations in the book is well suited to the style of the program, and the book has been fine-tuned and checked in thousands of games.

The Good
There are a number of advantages of owning your own chess computer. For example, you can play whenever your heart tells you in the morning in the middle of the night. You do not have to wait until your friend is in the mood. You also have the option of tutorials to help you learn, play, or your ability to play with them can increase your own computer. They are designed to allow all kinds of games, so you do what you deem necessary. You can restore a game that was bad ;-)

The Bad
There are some drawbacks, these machines also. A chess player who can not not man the error that man can do. Therefore, the computer is a competitor much more difficult. Not only that, but they are not, as you play for the reactions of the human preparation. And of course they may have an investment as well. You can take several options to choose from, but from the software programs to complete.
The Verdict
It is important to weigh the advantages and disadvantages when it comes to computers like these chess computers comes. For many it is the goal of owning a chess computer is only a dream. You have to understand that especially for those who acts experienced players who play chess in the club. Again to have to this point many a chess coach. The chess computer can be the chess coach, you need to can take the game to a higher level less. If the funds for a chess computer and a genuine love for the game, so the purchase, you can put on the rest.


"Today, without helping of computers,

it is hard to imagine playing chess".

(GM Viswanathan Anand)

Magnus Carlsen, the boy wonder from Norway

We all agreed that it was a young chess player from Norway named Magnus Carlsen is truly extraordinary achievements in world chess. Even when it has reached the peak of its golden ages by having the highest ELO rating number 1 in the world (as of January 1, 2011 rating 2814) of all chess players on the planet earth. He holds a Grandmaster in a very young age once (13 years), won the elite world of chess tournaments, chess players makes this much in love by the human chess in the world. Maybe that has not been achieved was to win the world chess championship race bilingual which will make it as World Chess Champion TRUE. Currently the official title is still held Chess World Champion chess player GM Viswanathan Anand of India. No doubt many of us who want to know what the secret. How does his thinking. The story of his life, including his work with GM's former world champion Garry Kasparov (Russia). Carlsen started playing chess at the age of 8 years. that time he played with his older perempuannya.hanya within a few weeks Carlsen was able to beat her sister. A year later Carlsen routinely able to defeat his father, a member of the chess club in norwegia.Carlsen a child a simple, generous smile and the love of many people. Carlsen practicing very hard for the progress of his chess game. Initially only 2-3 hours per day, now about 4-5 hours per day. Carlsen spent much time reading chess theory books, play chess online on the internet, and of course train with the coach.


There are three essential components according to Carlsen to be owned by a player to be able to become successful and succeed .. 1. Having talent and memory as well as positional sensitivity in playing chess. 2. Want to work hard by practicing at least 4-5 hours per day to hone intuition. 3. Diligently to compete by following the match or tournament in order to form a competing mentally strong and tough. Its end I think if we have the talent should also be in Balance with training, hard work, sacrifice time and price, and support from people who are around us.

A Brief Theory of Party Sicilian Taimanov Sicilian One Variant Plays Safe

As we all know that Chess Opening of the most famous and often used in practice in the tournament, including byGrandmaster chess pawns against the white king move 1.e4 is the Sicilian Defense  (answered with a black one .... notation step C5) . Based on my own experience during a tournament, if I played 1.e4, Sicilian Defense, and almost always I have met a minimum percentage could be approximately 30%. This means that if we go round nine tournaments, including use of Sicily 3x (of course if we play 1.e4). So learn and master the legal defense of Sicily was mandatory for the players, let alone a serious one, master's or professional (which if you have a favorite white pawns stepped 1.e4). Among all the variants of the Sicilian Defense, most notably the Sicilian Najdorf, then there is the Sicilian Dragon Sicilian Sveshnikov, and we are talking this time was the Sicilian Taimanov / Paulsen. Of course there are many more other variations in Sicily. Let's get together to learn Sicilian Taimanov in my post this time. Although very brief, but not bad for a read-read. There is minimal description of some of the Sicilian Taimanov. There Lho party line, I choose the ELO rating of 2600 to as many as 209 party from 1971 until April 2010 the most recent month. Check continue.
Taimanov Sisila defense that starts with the step C5 2.Nf3 1.e4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6 3.d4 E6 was able to expand again into sub-sub-variants are pretty much depends on the answers from both parties to step black and white. From the black side, the sub variannnya of them are:
Paulsen Variation by the Minister in the plot of C7 and the Elephant in the plot that b4 c3 nailing a white horse (black relying on the ending, which often forced the white pawn at c2 and c3 stacks due to the exchange of black elephant with a white horse).

Then there is the black elephant at f8 is not nailed, but parking on the plot of E7 (Taimanov Main Line).
There are other variants that strengthen the position of horses in c6 with Nge7 step, with the purpose and Nxd4 Nc6.

There continues to be the formation of migratory formations Scheveningen (pawn formation E6 and D6).
From the white party could form the formation of the famous locks Maroczy very strong (e4 pawn formation and C4) White Short Castling.

Then the formation of the main path, and the White Horse in c3 Short Castling.

And if you want the party continued to get sharp, white can be covered by insisting on opposing Castling, White Long Castling with the aim of advancing pawns on the king's wing (with base pawns F3) English-style attack in the Sicilian Najdorf.

White lines are modern chose to switch horses in d4 c6 black horse in the early steps.

Opening with the ECO code B40-B49 includes a very popular and very often played by the chess players ranging from a low level until GM Top of the World. Taimanov Sicilian defense became popular after Russia's top chess player GM Mark Taimanov was then successfully used this stance as the black. World's top chess players who regularly use these deadly tactics include Visawanathan GM Anand, GM Sakhriyar Madmedyarov (Azerbaijan), GM Peter Svidler, GM Vasily Ivanchuk, and others. Meanwhile, Indonesia's national chess players who have this stance is you include GM H. Ardiansyah. Even in history, this Abah never even beat the world's top chess player GM Viswanathan Anand (India) when Vishy Anand young young.

Philosophy Sicilian Taimanov. Some argue that the path Grandmaster Taimanov Sicilian is the safest route of all variations of the Sicilian viewed from the perspective of black fruit. So, if you search for it if you hold the black mussels, I think this stance played well. Line Taimanov considered repairs rather than System / Paulsen Variation of the past often played. Taimanov this point could result from the variation of the Sicilian Kan transposition, which run ahead of the horse A6. Formation of black is ideal for Qc7, pawns in the A6-B5, Bb7 diagonally parked in a long, and Rc8 assist Ministers pressed white wing ministers in lane c. In almost all Sicilian Taimanov, a clear strategy to attack the white king of black wings (either short or long white Castling). While black is clearly a planning minister pressed on white wings and break through lane c pawns to D5, and maneuver the horses to the weak patches in the wings of a white minister. Moreover, other? Can the master's rebuke and correct me if there is a To vote yes. Thank you.
