"What is the difference between chess and football? Everybody understands football, but nobody plays it. Everybody plays chess, but nobody understands it. Everything is relative. (Vladimir Kramnik)"

Game 18078

The round robin final (in the 3rd cycle) must start... time to adjudicate this nice game (Stephenson vs. Helmer), but we may discuss it as rules allow it.

At a first sight, the game looks like a draw, does anyone have another theory ?

News from the hot news & buzz blog :

Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1




Microsoft will release IE 8 Beta 1 in the first half of 2008. Internet Explorer 8 would have passed a key web standards test, "Acid2 Browser Test" from the Web Standards Project. Older versions of IE don't support some current standards such as CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and RSS (Really Simple Syndication), now it should work fine. It seems that the popularity of open-source browser Mozilla Firefox gave good intentions to Microsoft.



Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 devrait être distribué par Microsoft dans la première moitié de l'année 2008. IE 8 aurait passé avec succès la batterie de tests des standards web "Acid2 Browser Test". Les anciennes version d'Internet Explorer ne supportent pas certains standards actuels comme CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) et RSS (Really Simple Syndication), cela devrait enfin être le cas. Il semble que la popularité grandissante du navigateur ouvert Mozilla Firefox ait donné de bonnes intentions au géant Microsoft.
