Sweden is now a regulated market, which means that as a player you can only play at casinos with a license. See all regulated casinos in Sweden by Mr casinova.
Candidate master Peter Zhdanov's column at Pogonina.com
New Year is the perfect time for planning, making NY resolutions and wishes. According to the results of the poll at Chess.com, nearly 50% of the responders have rating goals for 2011.
From theory to practic. How many points can one gain within a rating period (2 months)? Without giving it much thought, I recall a remarkable achievement by Alexander Smirnov who managed to jump from 1956 to 2184 in just 3 months (back then rating lists were published quarterly) in year 2004 - that's 228 points.
How about your personal best result? ? Do you know other record-holders of this type?
Update by GM Dimitri Reinderman: a guy has just managed to gain 243 points in one rating period!
