Chess Variant $84.44 A chess variant is a game derived from, related to or similar to chess in at least one respect. The difference from chess can include one or more of the following: Different board (larger or smaller, nonsquare board shape overall or different spaces used within the board such as triangles or hexagons instead of squares). Fairy pieces different from those used within chess. Different rules for capture, move order, game goal, etc. National chess variants which are older than Western chess, such as chaturanga, shatranj, xiangqi, and shogi, are traditionally also called chess variants in the Western world. They have some similarities to chess and share a common ancestor game. The number of possible chess variants is unlimited. D.B. Pritchard, the author of Encyclopedia of Chess Variants, estimates that there are over 2000 chess variants, confining the number to published ones. Wadysaw Gliskis hexagonal chess. One of many chess variants. In the context of chess problems, chess variants are called fantasy chess, heterodox chess or fairy chess. Some chess variants are used only in chess composition and not for playing.

Chess Problem $73.28 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A chess problem, also called a chess composition, is a puzzle set by somebody using chess pieces on a chess board, that presents the solver with a particular task to be achieved. For instance, a position might be given with the instruction that white is to move first, and checkmate black in two moves against any possible defense. A person who creates such problems is known as a composer. There is a good deal of specialized jargon used in connection with chess problems; see chess problem terminology for a list. The term chess problem is not sharply defined: there is no clear demarcation between chess compositions on the one hand and puzzles or tactical exercises on the other. In practice, however, the distinction is very clear. There are common characteristics shared by compositions in the problem section of chess magazines, in specialist chess problem magazines, and in collections of chess problems in book form.

Chess (Application) $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Chess is a chess game for Mac OS X, and its progenitor, OPENSTEP, featuring a highquality graphical display and support for chess variants such as crazyhouse and suicide chess. Also included are different skins featuring metal, grass, marble and wood. It is bundled with the Mac OS X operating system and is also distributed as free and open source software on the Apple website. The Apple Chess front end is a Cocoa application whose drawing code is based on the glChess OpenGL chess client. It communicates with the Sjeng chess engine which runs in a separate process. In OPENSTEP and Mac OS X up to version 10.2 (Jaguar), Apple Chess used bitmap graphics with a fixed, pseudo3D, perspective, and used an early version of GNU Chess as the back end engine. Chess can be also played using voice commands which uses Mac OS Xs builtin speech recognition capabilities. Games can be logged using the log feature, which can include information such as names, dates, places, types of game and moves made.

”The trouble with machines is people.”: The computer as icon in post-war America: 1946–1970. $49.99 This dissertation examines the changing interface between media culture and computer technology from 1946 to 1970 as a reflection of post-war and cold war anxieties about the future of American individualism and masculinity. It is an interdisciplinary study with a methodological and theoretical grounding in cultural studies, history, technology studies and media studies. Through a close reading of print and visual media artifacts (including films), along with oral history accounts of people who helped introduce computer technology to a broad national audience, I focus on how the images and metaphors deployed to create a concrete idea of computers in the minds of consumers served to reinforce traditional national narratives concerning masculinity, American exceptionalism, power, and class privilege. During a period when computer consumption was restricted to the military and corporate industry, rhetorical strategies used to describe computers as artifacts involved associations with things and ideas already common knowledge to readers and viewers. Chapter One focuses on the initial framing of computer technology and the introduction of metaphors of intelligence during the American presidential election of 1952. Chapter Two chronicles the development of chess playing computer programs and the link between computers and Cold War totalitarianism. Chapter Three explores notions of masculinity and femininity projected upon computers in American cinema and television of the 1950′s and 1960′s. Chapter Four discusses how the metaphorical associations of the 1950′s and their successful conflation of tradition, nature, and technology, were complicated—and to some extent, contested—by the student movements of the 1960′s that sought to redefine ideas of culture, class, and gender through acts of public protest while recasting the computer as an icon of a corrupt and failing state. |

+6 Bag O’ Munchkin Babes $4.19 Extra bonus — free Munchkins! — now in the sex of your choice! These six Munchkin pawns are the female version of those found in Munchkin Quest… the four colors found in the initial set plus the Purple and Orange that you’ll see in the first expansion. The obvious thing to do is to keep the Munchkin pawns around for the day one is lost or throw the Munchkin Babes into your Munchkin Quest box and use the correct pawn for whatever sex your character happens to be at that moment. But if you’re truly evil and your friends let you get away with it you’ll show the world just what a munchkin you really are by using these pawns in other games. In Munchkin: Any time you are entitled to go up a level — or when you do something that WOULD earn you a level if you weren’t already Level 9 — you may instead place a munchkin pawn in front of you. In any combat you may discard it for a 1d6 bonus. You may only have one in front of you at a time. Unless of course you lose these rules and tell the other players that you’re allowed to have more. Six is a good number. In Other Games: Because you’re a munchkin you may claim a munchkin advantage for using these pawns in ANY game. For instance: In any roll-and-move game if you use the munchkin as your pawn rather than one that came with the game then once per game you may add or subtract 1 space to the move you roll. In any game in which you start with money if you use the munchkin as your pawn you start with 10 extra. Round up of course. In chess a munchkin pawn can move forward two spaces at any time. |
