Chess USA Blog Post
After a hiatus of sorts over the Christmas holiday, it looks like we're back up and running on the ChessUSA blog. My latest entry is here.
After a hiatus of sorts over the Christmas holiday, it looks like we're back up and running on the ChessUSA blog. My latest entry is here.
It's up, with a pair of puzzles - one each from Viswanathan Anand and Magnus Carlsen. Happy solving!
My second post on the ChessUSA blog is up, wrapping up the game and puzzle addressed in the initial post. Have a look, and in the meantime here's something you can do to help. The series needs a good name, and we don't yet have one. What would you propose? (The format is to have one post a week offering a tip or instruction, and the other weekly post to present a new puzzle while answering the previous week's poser.) Your help will be most appreciated.
Starting this past Thursday and continuing indefinitely, depending on reader interest, of course, I will write twice a week for the ChessUSA website, on their blog. Those posts will not duplicate my work on here, and will be aimed at a more introductory audience - from relatively serious casual players to low-to-mid-range tournament players. One post a week will offer some sort of advice or illustrate some useful theme, while the other will present a puzzle and explain the solution to the previous week's position.
I hope that many of you will help me get that other blog up and running, and even if the content turns out to be a little too simple for you, please get the word out to those who might benefit from and enjoy it. Of course it's also a commercial site, so if you're looking for chess equipment I hope you'll check out their products. (I don't get paid by commission, but if people aren't buying anything my column there probably won't survive.)
My first post is here; more to come!
