Below are some of the chess websites I check out often:
– TWIC (The week in chess) Free download of chess games from around the world.
– FIDE (Official website of the World Chess Federation)
– USCF (Official website of the US Chess Federation)
– Europe Echecs (The official website of the excellent French chess magazine)
– ECU (Official website of the European Chess Union) 
Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Thanks for the sites. They’re very helpful.
Have you heard any news of the new USCF site? I hear Jen Shahade is in charge.
A reason that I want to learn Spanish language, is that that Spain is a nice place to have a holiday while playing chess. It would also be nice to understand the lyrics of the songs. And many do not know english (or any Scandinavian language). Susan, you understand (master?) a lot of languages, right? Any great spanish site we could (try to) check out?
