Had company to watch today's game - and she was dressed for it. And what a great game it was. In his post match interview, the Australian coach described the game as "not much of a spectacle". Everyone else thought it was a great game. A bad loser always makes victory more sweet. Shane Williams looked every inch (and there's not many of them) worth his new title of 'World Player of ...

PREDICTING what happens in politics is a mug's game. But quite enjoyable all the same.

He won game 6 and now leads 4.5 - 1.5 in the 12-game match. Though to me it seems that Kramnik had the advantage in the early middle game today. See the moves at Chess Vibes. Incidentally, when I studied chess openings everyone played 4. e3 against the Nimzo-Indian. Now everyone plays 4. Qc2. Is it just fashion?

Hopi Sen has a good, game, good game, not easy, good game involving responding to crass or direct questions of a high, even murderous degree of difficulty. Newmania of Lewes snatches the opportunity to defend my old schooly Chris Grayling for his simultaneously pathetic and outrageous The Wire R Us Tory twaddle. LOL have responded HERE. Extract: Oh Newmania! Grayling dribbled away like some kind o...

Is it me or it utterly bizarre that Sony have pulled the release of a game because it has on its soundtrack a tune by a devout Muslim which includes verses of the Koran in Arabic. They did this after receiving an email sayingWhile playing your latest game, "LittleBigPlanet" in the first level of the third world in the game (titled "Swinging Safari"), I have noticed something strange in the lyrics ...

The latest game in the World Championship, a Slav with Anand playing White, ended in a draw after 36 moves. At one time Kramnik looked worse, but he held on easily enough. You can find the annotated game at Chessdom. The match score now stands at 5-2 to Anand. There will be 12 games in total.

CBS reports that Scottish gamemakers are coming out with "Rendition: Guantanamo," a video game for XBox. Moazzam Begg, a Briton detained at the U.S. military prison for three years, advised the company and helped them depict Gitmo realistically.  The game takes place in the future, after Guantanamo's closure and the player uses guns to defeat mercenaries trying to keep them as ...

Sathnam Sanghera:[C]ricket is ridiculous. This is a game that can be played from morning to dusk for five days without a victor. It is a game that a certain portion of supporters watch in a state of semi-slumber, a game...

I enjoyed Larry Elliott's imaginative game of Fantasy Economic Football, if only for the entertaining mental image it conjured up of all the economists I have ever known in shorts. Perhaps they could choose from the excellent range of Philosophy Football shirts? Larry's problem may be that he is looking for his world-class players in the wrong place. Although the intellectual Premier Lea...

The new MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) from Mythic Entertainment, Warhammer Age of Reckoning, has been getting some solid praise from the gaming community for getting mediæval on ‘gold farmers’ of late, banning the paid game accounts of people who try to sell the in-game virtual currency for real money.
