  We encourage you to visit the website: Chess Computer UK . From the author: " This website is intended to be a source of information and interest for those who enjoy playing and collecting chess computers. My own collecting interest is focused mostly on the early years. When chess computers first made their appearance through to the time they became strong enough to regularly beat club players. Broadly speaking the first ten years, 1977 to 1986. I also collect wooden auto sensory chess computers, robot chess computers, strong chess computers and anything else which particularly takes my fancy."

FIDE AC extends ban and revokes title of IM Andrejs Strebkovs over harassment of female players

Image
The FIDE Ethics and Disciplinary Commission Appeal Chamber has issued its decision regarding the case of IM Andrejs Strebkovs. The case involved accusations of sending offensive and inappropriate materials, including pornographic images and used condoms, to female chess players, some of whom were minors. These actions disrupted events such as the 2021 Women’s Grand Swiss Tournament and caused significant harm to the affected players and the broader chess community. In its initial ruling, the EDC First Instance Chamber found IM Andrejs Strebkovs guilty of several breaches of FIDE’s ethics and disciplinary code, imposing a five-year ban from all FIDE-rated events. Strebkovs appealed this decision, denying his involvement and challenging the evidence and FIDE’s authority to handle the case. FIDE, in turn, filed a cross-appeal, seeking a harsher sanction, including a longer ban and the revocation of Strebkovs’ International Master title, emphasizing the harm done to women and minors in che...

The Beautiful Dream Continues: Deshmukh Divya Reaches Women's Chess World Cup Final! The incredible run continues! 9-year-old Deshmukh Divya has defeated the favored Zhongyi Tan in the second game of their match today, securing her spot in the Women's Chess World Cup final. It truly seems that India is a "mine" of chess talent, producing exceptional players of both sexes. Today's game was an absolute rollercoaster—incredibly dramatic and full of swings. Divya held a material advantage for a long time, utilizing it well. However, at several points, she'd miss a winning move, and the position would revert to a draw. Then, her Chinese opponent would make a big mistake, handing the advantage back to Divya, only for it to slip away again. This back-and-forth must have had both coaches reaching for the valerian! 😂 Ultimately, the final mistake came from the Chinese player. Upon winning and clinching her spot in the final, the young Indian couldn't hold back her...
