Is there a free online translation for English to Russian (or German to Russian) somewhere? I couldn't find one at the moment. With this, we could drop some impressive sentences in russian language into the chat window then and when, while playing at ICC i.e. I estimate this could bring 50 elo points at least. The opponents would "trust" my "sacs" much more. I used another similar idea often: In the early middlegame, preferably after an closed opening, I wrote something like "Ah... in Lasker-Tarrasch 1928, black played 14...b6 instead." Of course, any other somewhat plausible player's names, year or moves can be used. Great fun. Regards, M.Scheidl
