I want to say 'thank you' to those who have helped in the past or are currently helping me to keep this small club up and running.
First of all thanks to my family for their tolerance, and their sacrifice if I sometimes spend more time with this hobby than with them.
Thanks to Eddie Boyd from Scotland for his volunteer webmaster work.
With his help the site looks much better than before. He also corrects my English and helps to keep the pages consistent.
Thanks to Gergo Macsi from Hungary, who created the first chess piece set at the very beginning.
Thanks to Henk Chang from Suriname, who has helped me a lot maintaining the English speaking interface of the server, who has checked and corrected my poor English, and helped me to plan the next improvements with his great correspondence chess experience.
Thanks to Michael Keating for making freely available the MyChessViewer Java application that handles the games of tournaments on the Events page.
Thanks to Pal Benyovszki from Hungary. He works on the German translations of the server. This will let German speaking players to enter and play in the club. He is the first member of the German Language Team.
And to all the players who help my work with criticisms and suggestions.
I welcome every help players can shoulder. I've written a separate page dealing with this, the Volunteering page.
Many years ago, searching for the Internet over chess problem, I bumped into a very interesting piece.
Find it on the bottom as a FEN row, clicking on it the board will also appear.
The task is: white mates in one!
Can't be too hard, I thought, but scrolling over the possibilities the solution just didn't come up.
I check everything once more, then again, and again, and once I found another way that was hidden for me before. The solution also hid there. It became my favourite chess problem then, but of course, it's true, there are many many beautiful problems out there.
This was the first problem I submitted to the server. Some players can solve it, some don't. Some believe there is no valid solution.
So, check this problem if you want. And enjoy.
