I was having a nightmare long long time ago. The dream was really dreadful. I saw chess turning into online. The world champion of the world was indeed an online champion.
He used strange handles like hu$tLee9, 00Hii% etc which I couldn't remember even for a second. The long rich chess history is at stake screamed someone I barely knew. My vision so blurred.

When you study chess by yourself, it's not surprising if you come across time when improvement is near to impossible. Like every serious chess players, you do your share of hard work and sacrifices. The difference being that you are stagnant whereas others are smoothly enjoying the fruits of their labor. You feel that you had reached a plateau and no amount of dedication or practice would help.

Chess is an old game played by two people among friends and relatives. Today, computer had joined the bandwagon and would handily beat any grandmaster. Becoming an expert in chess is no longer a problem even for people who has no over the board tournament experience but rather a surety for anyone with dedication and love for the game.

Chess today is played by more than 600 million people on a daily basis. In my opinion chess is a sleeping giant. There is a market out there. We just need to wake it up to make it the world's most popular game. How to make chess popular?

There is something about Hou Yifan that I would like to share on this post. She was born on 27 february, 1994. She is a chinese prodigy but that's obvious and I won't talk about it. The picture showed Hou Yifan playing against Champion Anna Ushenina from Ukraine which she won convincingly.

Many chess players asked me that question more than anything else. In my opinion, it's Bobby Fischer or Gary Kasparov. Both were extremely dominating world Champions at their peak. If I had to choose, I go with Fischer purely on his personality. There is something magical about him that brings people into the game. He's a chess genius.

This type of tournament has become very popular especially in India. Check out http://aicf.in/calendar/ for Indian chess players. Popularity of these types of tournament can be known from the fact that last year Delhi Parsvanath or International Delhi chess festival 2013 below rating 2000 met with more than 600 participants.

This is another frequently asked questions which I'm going to say something about in this post. It's human nature to feel awe when we see someone doing something very well. The question looks very innocent but it's not that simple to give one answer that says all. Let me elaborate on this.
When I started playing chess, it's more about fun and I had no idea about the existence of chess books Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01462286803143325994noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839462812868761381.post-66568304371981979832014-01-05T00:00:00.000-08:002014-01-05T00:00:05.306-08:00WHAT IS THE BEST OPENINGS
I was asked quite often by beginners this question. Now it's time to set light on them. There is no such thing as best openings. If someone claim otherwise, it's just an opinion.
All the openings are good. What is important is what comes after the opening. There was an incident when two of my chess friends were fighting on which is a better opening. The first one's opening was Sicilian Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01462286803143325994noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4839462812868761381.post-26390228339055048772014-01-04T22:32:00.000-08:002014-01-04T22:32:57.674-08:00HOW TO GET FIDE CHESS RATING II
As I came to know that many chess amateurs are still confused about getting fide rating, I'll explain in detail. First you play a tournament that is rated (eg. Viswanathan Anand's Memorial fide rated chess tournament below 2000) organized in your vicinity. That is the only thing required on your part ie play rated tournament.

I was a chess professional for few years and honestly I like it very much. As I grow older things are not as simple as it seems. You need a stable income for survival. Chess finds it hard to do it for you. I mean there are many chess tournaments per month in India where you can enter the prize in 90% of the time. Even then it might not be enough.
