Remember when you and your little sister would sit down to play a game of Monopoly? And how you would always sneak an extra $500 bill while she would always manage to land on the orange properties and make you pay rent? Time for a rematch! PlaySite's Monopoly, offered in conjunction with Hasbro.com, has become one of our most popular online games. No cheating allowed, but you might want to learn from your sister and buy those orange properties.    Why? Because according to many Monopoly experts, the orange group as a whole provides some of the best return on investment for developed properties. This is because the Jail square is the one visited the most times during a game. You may be just visiting Jail, or you may have been sent there by a card, by the "Go To Jail" space on the board, or by rolling doubles. From the Jail, a player HAS to land on something that is on the second or third side of the board (the light purple, orange, red or yellow properties). Statistically, the property square that is most landed on is Illinois Avenue. But the orange properties are also top 15 contenders for the most landed on squares and are relatively inexpensive to develop.    What other winning strategies do you have? Do you like to own the utilities and railroads, or do you prefer the low-rent district of the dark purple and light blue property groups? Put your theories to the test and play Monopoly!

Neither, it's algebraic notation and it's used to keep a history of the moves in a chess game. Now, before you go running away screaming at the word "algebraic," you should note that it's easy to learn, it allows you to reconstruct games from the past that can help your own style of play, and it's a standard feature in PlaySite's chess. We call it "Game History" and you can view it in games you watch, or your own games. Reviewing game histories, and trying alternatives, is the best way to improve your chess-playing abilities. Check out how it works , and then take on some of the top PlaySite chess  players...      [IMAGE]     [IMAGE]      [IMAGE]   Q:  Who invented Monopoly?    A:  Nuh uh. If you said Charles Darrow, you've fallen for a long-believed myth about the origins of the game. In truth, the game evolved over time, finding its original shape in Elizabeth Magie's 1904 offering called The Landlord's Game. This game was modified by Magie over a period of years, adopted and refined under different names by other game designers, and eventually the game found its way to Charles Darrow. To be charitable, it could be said that Darrow popularized the game and got Parker Brothers to produce and sell the game, but we owe a big round of thanks, or a trip to GO and $200, to Elizabeth Magie.     [IMAGE]    Q:  Besides algebraic, what is the other form of chess notation called?  [IMAGE] [IMAGE] A:  Descriptive notation. Descriptive notation uses capital letters as abbreviations for the piece that is moving and its destination square. For instance, the move e4 (algebraic) would be notated as P-K4 (descriptive), in that the P (Pawn) is moving to the 4th row on the King's column (K4).     [IMAGE]  	[IMAGE]	[IMAGE]
