Puzzle 1521 is not possible to win for white. I think the piece on square 40 should be on 50

I often find puzzles where a winning move isn't counted as correct because another move is even better. I get that the exercise is to find the best move, but at the same time it can be quite frustrati…

Yes @Finkeltje, the change was made before the weekend. Every three hour block now has one blitz tournament with increment and one without (except with overlapping daily/weekly/etc). Why not more t…

Has the distribution of tournaments with and without increment already been changed? I thought there were only 3+2 standard tournaments at 14:00 and 20:00 CET (besides those at times that most Europe…

Diagonal draughts on 10x10 board with International or Frisian capturing rules can be implemented easily. The difference consists only in initial position and crowning squares. For diagonal Intern…

Very nice, congratulations! Scan at level 7 probably missed the win in that line because it requires two 'quiet' moves, to get a piece to 13. I don't think this is possible against level 8! Очень м…
