Awesome blog. Well done whoever does it.
This may be a good place and time to mention the first ever Carnival of Chess Blogs. It will take place on September 1.
For more details, you can see the
discuussion in the USCF Forum.
Jack, can you explain in clear terms what it is?
Here is a quote from a website devoted to this topic.
“A Blog Carnival is like a magazine. It has a title, a topic, editors, contributors, and an audience. Editions of the carnival typically come out on a regular basis (e.g. every Monday, or on the first of the month). Each edition is a special blog article that consists of links to all the contributions that have been submitted, often with the editor’s opinions or remarks.”
There are now thousands of carnivals on the web. Almost every area of interest has it’s own carnival. Except for chess blogs. Until now.
The advantages of having a chess carnival: (1) For bloggers – to showcase a sample of their work to the chess community; (2) For readers – to sample content from a wide variety of chess blogs in one place. A Chess Carnival will also encourage quality work. If a blogger knows that his piece is being showcased right alongside pieces from the other blogs, then that serves as a motivator right there.
Like I said, Your Blog is the best by far!! on chess.
