Question by Ms_S: Are there any online chess games that teach you how to play?
I’ve always wanted to learn how to play chess…but I find the books a bit beyond me if you aren’t putting it into practice….the same with online tutorials where its just pages of reading. I think I could understand it if I had a board in front of me playing a game….but I live in a small town and everyone here plays backgammon or checkers….if they play board games at all….they all play computer games. I know the very basic rules…like the names of the pieces and their move ability and that white goes first and on your first move the pawn can move two squares. But Im not big on the check and check mate rules though. And I don’t know any strategies at all….I just move pieces willy nilly and hope they dont get taken. Obviously Im not looking to be any type of master….duh….just looking to play for fun….but to actually know what Im doing!
Thank you very much! But as I mentioned..I live in a small town…actually on an island so Im stuck with the people who live here really…obviously Im not going to travel to the mainland just for a chess teacher….and there are absolutely no local chess clubs. Theres not even a mothers group! People here are into checkers or backgammon and thats just the older people….the younger people only ever play playstation or the like.

In my opinion the best way to learn and improve in chess is to buy a good chess book. Maybe the few books that you have read is for advance player, that is why you think they are beyond you.

Question by Thrice Blessed: Is there an online resource about chess openings, that would let me look up openings by first move…?
… by first move rather than by name. For example, instead of needing to know it is called “Benko’s Opening” I could just enter the first move “g3″ and get a list of openings and variations that start that way? So I could study based on what I need to know, rather than by being expected to already know the name of the opening?

Hope that made sense!

Best answer:

Answer by TheGoodFight
I play chess too but never have studied it much. I bet I’ve played 30,000 games on http://www.pogo.com/. I get caught up in those 1 minute games, however, and that’s bad chess.

Here is something I found for you…may not be quite what you’re looking for but interesting:

http://www.chessgames.com/perl/explorer

What may help you is to know how to navigate www.google.com or any other search site better.

If you will put your search in quotes such as “chess openings from E3″ then it will only give you search results that have those exact words in it exactly how you entered it. This will greatly help you to find what you’re looking for when searching. If it doesn’t produce good results then change it up a little.

If you already knew this then forgive me.

Perhaps we can play on pogo sometime. My name there is spiritandtruth_

Question by My Name: Best place to play chess online?
I enjoy playing chess, and prefer to play against other people rather then the computer. I have a chess.com account but find the nonstop popups and constant pushing to pay annoying, also there is a chat bar on the bottom of the site I cannot get rid of.
Is there a good online chess site with no popups, no myspace style chat that alows yo to set the games pace (one move per day or 3 days) as I make my moves in the morning before work but dont spend a lot of time online

I’m looking for a chess only site not a game site

Question by ?????: Chess question: Online playing levels with huge difference between easy and medium?
I played some chess online against computer yesterday at http://www.chess.com/play/computer.html I played about 7 games one after other at Medium level (~1600) and I could just win 1 , I lost 6. It’s like the computer knew what I was planning all the time and it was too difficult for me to play. It was much difficult as opposed to an average real chess player.

So, I later tried Easy level (~1200) and I won the game. I noticed the computer made some really silly mistakes . So I played another one at this easy level but this time i lost it, but that’s because I made some very silly mistakes , like overlooking the capture of my pieces. So anyway but still it was very easy .

I want to ask why this huge difference between Easy and Medium level??? For me, it’s like I can win games at easy and most probably i will lose most games against medium

Also, if i’m not mistaken is that the rating (the figures i wrote above)? . And what does ~ sign mean? Does that mean the rating is around that, or it is lower than that??? Like easy has ~1200 against it, what it means????

Best answer:

Answer by Stephen
Humans make many small mistakes, which some people can’t even pick up on, but a computer can, and exploits easily. A computer uses binary (0 and 1), so it does not know the difference between a small and a big mistake.

The 1200 to 1600 is about the chess federation. The average score is 1200, while the biggest number, held by a Grandmaster (I forget who) has 2500 points roughly.

Question by pete b: how do i make the chess board bigger on yahoo online games when strecthing page and zoom do not work?
just bought a gateway and chessboard is smaller.when zooming it only makes text bigger. is it the vista or can i configure board on my computer?

Best answer:

Answer by WyattEarp
There is one way of making it bigger…but everything will be bigger. I find it easier on the eyes…..go to your desktop..(Bootup window) right-click on a blank part of the screen…select “personalize”…then select the “display Settings” Adjust your resolution to a lower level that you are comfortable with…your screen will blackout for a few seconds when it makes the changes. It will prompt you to except the new settings on a timer….just in case you don’t see it.

Good luck

Question by Robert: What’s the best computer language to write a chess program for online play?
I’m just learning so my goal is not to be able to play the computer…I understand the enormous complexity that would involve.

I just want to create a platform that would allow two human participants to play the game over the web.

The program would show the board and allow the piece movements…but from there I guess it would simply serve as a referee…keeping track of whose turn it is, denying illegal moves, and acknowledging a check or checkmate.

What program language should I look into and what would I need in the way of software to pull this off?

Any insight you could provide me would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by Mark aka jack573
You could use basically any language that allows networking to do it in.

There are some questions you need to ask yourself about the game.

1) Do you want the program to be a graphical program so the user can see the board and click on the piece they want to move to move the piece, or whether you want just a text program that people need to type into and the board gets displayed as a textual board.

2) Do you want to allow people to log onto a site and to choose rooms or games to play against other people, or do you want people to be able to download the game from a web site and be able to connect to another player that has the game.

3) Do you want to be able to rank players. For instance, how many games played, how many won, etc.

Ok, if you want to make a graphical game, you may need to make different versions of your game so they run on different operating systems (computers).
You may even need to make different versions of your game if it is just a textual game.

If you want people to be able to download the game and run it. Then the players get a list of people who are available to play, you are going to need the program to connect to a central program that holds information about who is avaiable toplay, etc.
If you want people to be able to log into your website and see who is available to play, you will also need something so you can keep track of who is playing, who is available, etc.

If you want to be able to keep ranks, etc, then you are going to need to keep information about the people who play your game. You can use a database for this type of information.

The easiest programming language for all of this would be Java, in my opinion. You can create the game either as a graphical game, or a text based game.

You can create it to be downloaded, or played on your web site.

You don’t have to worry as much about making different versions for different computers.

Basically what you are asking about is huge. You will have a lot to learn and may take a while for you to actually get the program working and available for people to play.
