    However, if the bishop attacks the square closest to the rook, you don't castle through check (which is why it worked in bot6's and pawnfondler's game).

    You can castle q-side if the bishop is controlling one of the squares the ROOK has to cross though (e.g. b1 or b8) or if it's attacking the rook itself.
    Oops, too late : )

    Could be. I haven't had the time to count them all. But I still think that 42 is an answer that is good for any question. I haven't seen the movie you mentioned, though.

    Really? Stanley Kubrick film. The main character plays chess against a computer (HAL)-can't remember too much more, it's been a while?!

    But you're right, 42 is a good answer for any question!

    "So what did you score on the IQ test?"

    "What is your rating at RHP?"

    "Your team scored 2 goals, how many did the other side get?"

    2001 - that's my OTB grade at the moment.
    Though I may lose two points due something mysterious called 'The Drift'.
    So I'm losing two points just for staying alive. huh!

    Does anybody know if it's true that HAL was A.C.Clarke's way of saying IBM?
    (if you add one letter to H(I) then to A(B) then to L(M). HAL+1=IBM.)

    I know in 'From Russia with Love' they changed the position on the
    demo board from a famous game because the producers thought
    chess games had a copyright.

    Great idea for tournaments!

    Maybe they thought that James Bond was a dummy.
