 Has anyone ever played Strip Chess? What are the rules? ...

 First off I'd just like to say how awesome you guys are and admire how great you are at chess, if you are. I am new to chess and am decent at it. Being good at chess generally means you're an intelligent person. If someone's good at Maths they're going to be good at chess basically .. this also must mean if you play and are good at chess you become good at Maths right? I'm quite young and am taking A-Level Maths next year and am getting overly worried and wish to brush up on it a little :D .. I just need reassurance that playing chess would be a good thing. Also, can any chess pros please give any tips on chess moves for the offensive? I'm quite good at preventing, but not good at attacking really. Is there any decent advice out there? :D Thanks in advance! ...

 Most men don't approve of me playing chess. They make fun of me. I'm sorry that I am intelligent and like things like chess. But, I am a nerdy girl. What can I do? Men don't want to play chess with me. They say, "You are a girl." Why can't a girl just play chess? Are there any famous women who play chess and are world-famous chess player? ...

 I am an avid chess player and i am worried about the rapid decline of chess these days. Why do you think the popularity is declining? My answer: I think chess was used as a political tool during the cold war era. It's popularity during the cold war era was unprecedented. Espicially after the 72 match with spassky and fischer, chess memberships everywhere doubled and chess in the mainsteam was at it's height. Because of this chess was never marketed commercially, it was only a political tool, which would decline as political strifes ended. And since it was never commerciliazed properly, it would remain a game that is virtually unknown to the newer generation. And because of this ignorence, the game has many tags which disassosiate it with mainsteam culture. Nerdiness, old people's game, too complex for the average mind etc... ...

 I have been playing Yahoo Chess for several weeks now. As of yesterday, I went to play and it now states Divinci Code chess. I don't like this because I really have a difficult time with the pieces and the way they look. I don't want to go to the standard chess because I like the way the new chess is minus the pieces. Is there anyway I can get back to playing the new chess without the divince code board as that is the only difference as of yesterday. Please HELP!!! ...

 Just what is strength in chess? What makes a move strong? For instance, when Kasparov became World Champion after his match with Karpov, Kasparov didn't announce he was the best chessplayer in the world, he said he was the "strongest". Or when Scottish GM Paul Motwani prays before a match, he doesn't pray for victory, he prays for the strength to win. When a grandmaster analyzes a position, he cites pieces, the mobility of pieces, positions, deployments, moves, threats, material advantage, and possible lines of play for their "strength". But no one defines it. Just what is strong in chess, what is strength in chess?? What does strength in chess mean to you? ...

 Do you have to be smart to play chess, or just good as chess? One of my friends was bragging about how he beat a Harvard graduate at chess. I told him maybe the Harvard guy was smart, just not good at chess. True? ...

 Hello, Our school's chess club would like to host a school-wide tournament, but we are afraid that we won't have enough chess sets. However, we do have a huge computer network at school, and were wondering if there was such a thing as a LAN chess program. Basically, this ideal program would let the tournament player sit at a computer, have a screen pop up showing all the pairings, and the user will ultimately be able to click on their pairing and start playing. There would be time controls, etc... Finally, when the game is done with, the score (along with the record of the game) gets sent to a central computer that pairs the next rounds. Basically, no paper, pencil, chess boards, chess clocks... So, anything out there like that, or do I have to program it myself? ...
