Chessdom Website Started

A useful and nicely done new chess website has been started at Chessdom.

Goran Urosevic, the editor of Chessdom, sent us the following description of the site:

"- The mission of Chessdom is to cover all aspects of the chess game. We truly believe that Internet is for chess what television is for soccer. It is the element that can revolutionize the game, bring more fans, and with that, more sponsors.
- For years, various chess organizations have been trying to create large scale tournaments and yet players receive relatively low prize fund. The main reason is that chess lacks adequate global coverage. We hope Chessdom and its more than 20 sections will help chess eliminate the mentioned problems and will bring the game to a higher level. "
