Kasparov - Topalov, Wijk aan Zee, 1999
This may be the best game of Garry Kasparov. I use it to demonstrate some of the possibilities of the Chess Game Viewer. Another example of this game viewer with two chess boards and more NAG symbols can be found here, but it can also be used for puzzles like a mate in two problem.
One of Garry's best games.
Dynamic HTML Chess PGN Viewer
Recently this site was mentioned at Chess Improvement, which made that I had a look at this site and found two examples of the use of a the Dynamic HTML Chess PGN Viewer on a WordPress site. The most interesting example was this game. This looks like a very nice and promising way to publish chess games on a blog, but at first sight there are three rather large disadvantages:
- You have to be able to host the pgn, javascript, php and html files on a site.
- PHP has to be supported on this site
- The use of an iframe to get this done, makes that all the code has to be loaded within each iframe
Library chess set
This photo was taken on March 5, 2008 by Muffet. She wandered into the Young Adult room of the local library. They had a nifty chess set on the table. Since she was the only person in the room, she stopped and took this picture.
