2007 World Open: Exterminator is Back!
Jul 8th, 2007 by Daaim Shabazz
I just posted the interview I did with William Morrison, who placed joint 1st in the under-2400 section at the World Open. It was a candid interview that flowed nicely. You will hear what has been happening with the legendary FIDE Master and hear his opinions on earning norms and his future plans. He also gives a novel ideas on how to improve chess at the grassroots level.
I was wondering how you created the following page:

Mr. Wijetunge,
I use a tool called Palview, but it is not the most intuitive java board out there. There are many others, however, in my opinion it offers the widest range of features. ChessBase’s java generator does not even come close. Mychess.com is the other popular one, but it doesn’t allow annotations and nested variations. Most of the ones out there only allow you to view games and are not designed for website development.
The Palview developers have not updated the code for a couple of years, but no other java board provides the flexbility that Palview does. It is feature rich and looks nice, but it is something that you have to have some computer savvy to use properly. You have to understand .css style sheets and such. Read more about it at the Palview Pages. The documentation is extensive.

Thanks for the great interview. Thanks to the drum for keeping the beat going and the drum community for encouraging Darrian Robinson at the world open.
When the fellows get together for the matches, Mr. Morrison, don’t forget the girls. Medina Parrilla and Darrian Robinson to name a few will ge able to play hard at the board.
Mr. Morrison, Darrian was grateful for your introduction and well wishes when you saw her at breakfast.

this is a repeat performance for William, about fifteen years ago william won the u2200 section at the world while reading the newspaper, mind you u2200 means u2200 fide too. that’s one of the obstacles in that section beacause u2200 fide is about u2300uscf!! pop johnson his friend would say william would play openings from his own reckopning that would be subnotes in the opening manuals to the mainlines. A very talented brother. Look to the future successes from mr morrison!!!
