Chess game in a bar code

By GilaChess - December 17, 2013
You have seen the above code before I am sure. I was just looking at the Penang Chess Open games that were just concluded on the computer screen and was wondering what was the fastest way to transfer the game from the computer screen to my phone so I can view it there. Main reason I was on my Mac and don't have...

Chess Notebook Alert! Now is the worst time to get a Notebook

By GilaChess - October 07, 2013
You want to buy a new notebook for chess? Nine times out of ten I guarantee you will regret buying a new notebook for chess (or any other purpose) now. The reason is that the new Intel processors that are coming out, namely the Haswell processors are incredibly power saving giving  any Haswell notebook a whopping 10+ hours of daily use. You do...

Sabah Grande Cross tables results

By GilaChess - September 17, 2013
What? There was an event in Sabah? Not one but two?! Why didn't anyone tell me about the Sabah Interstate and Sabah Grande rapid event? Or more accurately, I didn't bother to look at chess blogs to find out. But I am also saddened as usually I get emails informing me of any such local event. This marks one of the few times...

Hottest Chess Event in town

By GilaChess - August 24, 2013
Was in the vicinity of Shah Alam around the end of the Selangorku Battlechess tourney today so I stopped by to take some pictures. It was literally the hottest chess event I've ever been to. Somehow I think the air-conditioning system broke down and the closed nature of the old Tengku Ampuan Shah Alam library exacerbated the condition further. Anyway, it's a great...
