Hi everyone,

This goes out to all our chess players. I just want to ask you the chess software programs that you use. Does any of you use a software that can record chess moves if you are playing tournaments. I was just wondering whether you can actually use an app or something to record moves and keep it in a database so that you don't have to keep a lot of papers. :)

Perhaps I don't quite take chess tournaments as seriously as you do, but I've played a few and won locally, and honestly, I don't try to remember moves at all.

The computer has varying difficulty from level 1-99 (I have only beaten level 99 once in eight tries!), and so I adjust it to simulate playing against actual people. The link below is an example of what I had but mine literally cost a quarter of this particular product so just give a good google search :D

There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
I have been idly browsing what Apple have to offer with their new iPhone17. There is mention of 'Vapour cooling' to deal with the heat generated. Would that be the same sort of idea that was used in 'Heat Pipes' where water evaporated at the processor end and liquid water was returned from the cool end and back along a wick. At the extreme high power end, Vapour Phase Cooling has been used in multi-kW RF transmitters where (pure) water was pumped to the Anode / or alternative Collector and...
