The Alekhine Defense is a hypermodern defense against the e4 opening from white. Black looks to allow white to overextend his pawns in the center and then looks to counter by taking back control of the center using his minor pieces www.thechesswebsite.com Chess Software used in the video can be found at http and www.chessok.com

I am a beginner and I hate to play against other players and have not had a good learning experience. I want to play against a computer type tutorial maybe and all I have seen are ones that you download for one free trial and then you have to pay. I know that there must be sites where I can play long term for free but where are those sites????

i’ve heard of fibonacci chess but is there a fibonacci opening in regular chess?? they quoted it in the West Wing S03E13

With pictures as welll, not only text.

We continue in part 2 of the French Defense to see in depth analysis of the finer points that black should concentrate on when playing this defense and how to look for weaknesses in white’s attack. Be sure that you watched Part 1 first. Visit www.thechesswebsite.com for my great analysis and daily puzzles and famous games.

Chess as learning tool

Our Educational system is in constant process of evolution. Before a new system is put in place, several deliberations and viewpoints are considered. Thus, the process cannot be a fast one. On the other hand, as a result of computerisation and advances technology, general developmental changes occur at a faster place. No matter how efficient the education system is, it still embodies certain shortcomings as a result of which parents and teachers are streessed. This stree passes on to students, who many a times are not fully prepared to cope up. Revising the education system too offen could also cause confusion. Need therefore is there to make an average child self reliant to face challenges and equip him with the ability to discover himself, assess and know his strengths and weaknesses and find his way to success.

Name of the following chess opening?
1.e4e5
2.c3d6
3.d4

I have been using this opening with good results. However, I don’t know what’s its name in order to study its variants.

Thanks in advance.

My 10 year old is a pretty good student so he can probably grasp concepts slightly beyond his age. And like most kids, he has been playing computer/video games for a while now. He likes Runescape and Star Wars Lego II. He recently has expressed interest in creating his own game. I’d like to encourage this without overwhelming him with too advanced of a programming language. Logo seems out of date. Not sure what else is out there. An example game he would like to put together is a computer chess or checkers game with graphics. I was thinking of "Samuel’s Checkers" for the strategy part. No clue on the graphics/language.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
