simsim: <Sigma is the greek letter used to sum elements. Like sigma (1/n^2) from 1 to infinite = 1/1 + 1/4 + 1/9 +1/16 +… = pi^2/6.>
so you are refering to the Riemannian Zeta function.
\sigma(s):= \sum_n=1^\infty n^-s
but why don't say soo????

simsim: <ganstaman>
I'm sorry that i forgot the bishop in the diagram and for the annoying notation (Lxg6 instead of Bxg6, i know this annoying). <Since 14. Qxe6+?? loses to 14...Bxe6 (or Lxg6, I guess)> In the line i was refering to 11... Bd7 12. Sf3 Bc6

Sep-25-07 World Championship Tournament (2007) 
|
simsim: i do not really like rematches: it slows down the championship process. my "ideal worldchampionship" cycle would consist of candiates match (the partipant are the top performers of top-GM events like linares, dortmund etc.) and a championship match between the reigning champ and the ... |

Sep-06-07 English, Symmetrical Variation (A32) 
|
simsim: We have the following definitions:
A33: 1. c4 c5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. d4 cd4 4. Nd4 e6 5. Nc3 Nc6
and
A32: 1. c4 c5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. d4 cd4 4. Nd4 e6
The Nimzo-lines that occur after 5. Nc3 Lb4 are not the mainlines, but rather non-critical sidelines.

Aug-01-07 The World vs G Timmerman, 2007 
|
simsim: <Hugin: Allow me to be silly...No reason and logic works convincing majority that e4 is best,...>

Jul-31-07 Carlsen vs Pelletier, 2007 
|
simsim: <cotdt> how is stalemate not natural? or: why are the other chess rules (piece movements, captures) more natural than the rule that stalemate counts as a draw. somehow every chess-rule is arbitrary and not natural.
i don't understand, although i've heard this statement several ... |
