This is a blog about things related to the game of Chess. We hope that you’ll find something interesting on these pages and we hope that you’ll visit often.

Like most people who might find your way to this blog I really like Chess. It’s a game that I’ve both enjoyed and have been frustrated with. I’ve always wished I was a better player than I am. I’m probably the chess equivalent to that guy who always loved playing baseball and barely made his high school team. But while the ballplayer loses his reflexes the chess player can always hope for some great breakthrough or insight.

In addition this blog is associated with My Chess Pieces.com a retail website dedicated to selling high quality chess sets and pieces. Hopefully you’ll find that an interesting stopping place along the way.
