  1. News? on Major PC Makers to Ship PCs Sans Windows · · Score: 1

    UK: Evesham Zytec (I think) range ship with neither OS nor monitor! Intended for second time buyers but do ship with respectable specs and no OS.

  2. Chess Teams on Kasparov Beats the World · · Score: 1
    Having played against teams, with members strong enough to give me a reasonable game, I have discovered that a team of players never seems to be as strong as individuals- it is much harder for a team to plan than an individual. Groups are, as has been pointed out earlier, worse.
    To give an example, I have never seen a team use an effective sacrificial combination as it takes a lot of courage to do this and having a team only makes it harder.

    I am amazed as to how long the world lasted as team long term planning is so dificult.

    Is it me, or are there few actual chess players on this discussion group.
