Magnifichess Chess Blog Launched

The Magnifichess Chess Blog - a play on words for this magnificent game - was launched on May 29, 2004.

We will post interesting chess stuff here as we find it.

Start at Chessville for interesting chess quotes

or go to the Chess Blog for Chess is Fun by Jon Edwards, United States Correspondence Chess Champion

or go to The Daily Dirt Chess Blog for "insider news and views"

or ChessOps for the basics on Chess Openings

or go to GameKnot, which I found by looking for a quote by Bobby Fischer, which got me interested in chess again, and a site at which free multiplayer chess is possible.

I play under the name of Magnifichess at GameKnot - but after not playing chess for the last 20 years and having more or less forgotten the openings - without using any computer assistance, which is prohibited - the old and new generations of chess freaks will probably give me a lesson or two in the course of my matches. As usual, I play too fast - which is more fun - but it is then easier to make mistakes and overlook dangers one sees initially and then forgets. We shall see how it goes.
