Albino - a problem in which, at some point in the solution, a white pawn on its starting square makes each of its four possible moves (forward one square, forward two squares, capture to the left, capture to the right).
In chess problems, however, the letter S (standing for Springer, the German name for the knight) is often used instead, with N instead being reserved for the popular fairy piece, the nightrider.

 Chess Guide > Albino
An Albino is a chess problem in which, at some stage in the solution, a white pawn standing on its starting square makes each of its four possible moves: one square forward, two squares forward, capture to the left and capture to the right.
The nature of the Albino theme is such that in orthodox chess there must be at least four variations to show the four different moves of the white pawn.
However, if the rules of circe chess are applied, the number of required variations can be reduced to two (circe is a chess variant in which captured pieces, rather than being removed from the board, are returned to their home squares).

When discussing chess at the national and international level, rather than in terms of individuals, the most important episode in the game's history was, almost unarguably, the rise and fall of the Soviet chess empire.
Contact with Western chess circles is re-established with the Moscow tournaments of 1925, 1935 and 1936, but except for a few such as Botvinnik, Soviet masters remain little known in the West.
However, Soviet Chess is well documented, its eight pages of notes and bibliography detailing hundreds of sources, mostly Russian, ranging from old issues of Shakmaty v SSSR and 64, and memoirs of early figures such as Ilyin-Genevsky and Bohatyrchuk, to newly unearthed KGB files and recent books by Kasparov and Karpov.

Anticipated - if the theme and setting of a particular problem has already appeared in an earlier problem without the knowledge of the later composer, the problem is said to be anticipated.
There is a real chance of anticipation if the problem has a realitvely simply theme, since there are only a finite number of positions and themes, and chess problems have been composed for hundreds of years.
Eceonomy of material or force (not using more pieces than necessary), economy of space (using the chessboard to its fullest, not cramming all the pieces into one corner) and economy of motivation (keeping all lines in the solution relevent to the theme) are all regarded as important.

 Chess Herstory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
I printed out a copy of the chess pieces that were found on the 11th century Byzantine wreck; I haven't had time to check this yet but I believe they look very similar to some graphics that Gerhard sent to me some time back, and those pieces were even older than the 11th century pieces.
In chess terms, it might be the White Knight moving into block the Black Queen just before she achieves her goal of mate with the White King; or perhaps the Black Madonna Knightess moving into block the White Queen from the Black King.
It is this notion of "in-form-a-tion" in all its self-transcendant glory that makes chess, the goddess and the heart as central to our purpose as the healing winds which spiral outward from the center of medicine wheel, the galaxy and the universe.

 Albino elephant may boost conservation efforts - Unexplained Mysteries Discussion Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Researchers are hoping to test dung from the albino elephant to determine which mutation she has.
In most cases, the genes for albinism are recessive, meaning that an animal must inherit two copies of the gene (one from each parent) to become albino.
So unless the Sri Lankan white elephant finds a male with a similar gene, she is unlikely to give birth to an albino offspring.

 Dark Side of the Muncher etc, by Clive Nigel Savill
The basic idea was that 3 dimensional chess could only be as good as classic 2 dimensional chess, if its parameters were taken into a 3 dimensional format.
If you transfer the moves of 2D chess into 3 dimensions, the pieces would be able to move in more directions, but would not be able to get to as many squares.
In 3 dimensional chess a bishop would be able to move in 12 directions, which is an addition of 8, and would result in it being able to threaten so many pieces after moving that it would ruin the game.
