Chess Club
A chess club is a club formed for the purpose of playing the board game of chess. Chess clubs often provide for both informal and tournament games and sometimes offer league play. Traditionally clubs host over the board, face to face chess more than play on internet chess servers or computer chess. Organization Clubs are mainly attached to a national federation, either directly or through membership of a regional chess association. The national federation in turn is a member of FIDE, the international governing body of chess. The global aegis helps to establish uniformity of rules and playing conditions internationally, though some countries such as the United States use their own official set of rules with minor differences from FIDE rules.

Chess Players From Harbin
Chess is a board game for two players, called White and Black, each controlling an army of chess pieces in their color, with the objective to checkmate the opponent's king. It is sometimes called international chess or Western chess to distinguish it from related games, such as xiangqi (Chinese chess) and shogi (Japanese chess).

People From Harbin
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Chessmetrics
Chessmetrics is a system for rating chess players devised by Jeff Sonas. It is intended as an improvement over the Elo rating system. Implementation Chessmetrics is a weighted average of past performance. The score considers a player's win percentage against other players weighted by the ratings of the other players and the time elapsed since the match. A 10% increase in performance is equivalent to an increase of 85 rating points. The weighting of previous matches digresses linearly from 100% for just-finished matches to zero for matches conducted more than two years ago. Formulas Performance rating adjustment after tournament: :Performance Rating = Average Opponents' Rating + PctScore - 0.50) * 850/code> Weighting of past tournaments (age in months): :100% * (24 - age) Criticism In 2006 economists Charles C.

Chess In China
China is a major chess power, with the women's team winning silver medals at the Olympiad in 2010, 2012, and 2014; the men's team winning gold at the 2014 Olympiad, and the average rating for the country's top ten players second in the FIDE rankings at the end of 2014. Chinese progress has been underpinned by large government support and testing competition in numerous tough events. Currently nine of the world's top hundred players, including the world's highest rated woman player, Hou Yifan, are from China. The current Women's World chess champion Ju Wenjun is also from China. However, countries like Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Armenia, and Israel still have an edge in experience over their Chinese counterparts. Chess has only gained popularity in China in the last few decades and still trails Chinese chess (''xiangqi'') and go (''weiqi'') by a considerable margin. There are about three million people in China who play chess, of which 300,000 are in the federation. In 1974 a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
