The Chess Page is designed for people who are interested in chess and would like to look at games from the perspective of an ordinary chess player, rather than from a grandmaster's perspective or from the cold calculative perspective of a computer. This website contains:
1) recent games recent games played by grandmasters analyzed from a human perspective (sometimes with the aid of a chess engine, but only as a supplement)
2) some of the important human versus machine games played analyzed from the perspective of an ordinary chess player
3) some important historical games from chess grandmasters
4) a page on chess principles
5) some pages on my games against chess computers along with a discussion of how they think
6) exciting videos on the history of computer chess and current tournaments. In all of these games, I emphasize thinking and provide you with tactical puzzles to solve from important games (you must find the solution through trial and error).
7) Basic checkmate problems (you click the image to see the solution) which are updated on a daily basis--see mate in one page
