They can ruin a game or even a whole tournament! Besides, they prevent a chess player from getting better results and a higher rating. That's why some time ago I wrote a six-part article on this topic. There I gave my recommendation and expressed an opinion that if a player manages to decrease his blunder percentage, it will add 200-300 rating points to his strength almost instantly. So, obviously blunders are a very bad thing. 5 days ago As of January 1, the FIDE Laws of Chess are slightly different than before, when it comes to rapid chess and blitz. However, as GM Peter Heine Nielsen and others have pointed out, there's still plenty of room for debate.

IM 3 days ago CHESS LIFE AND REVIEW I was recently thinking about the best U.S. Chess magazines ever. There were quite a lot. Two favorites are Joel Benjamin’s magazine, Chess Chow (1991 to 1994), which was hilarious, and Inside Chess, Yasser Seirawan’s excellent magazine. However, the oldies but goodies rule the roost. Chess Life has been around forever (it started in 1946 as a bi-weekly 8-to-12 page newspaper). ![]() Chess Review (from 1933 to late 1969) was, without any doubt, the best U.S. Chess magazine. ![]() If you have a powerful computer and a fast Internet connection, it may seem that your opponent is getting extra time to make his or her moves.
