I would like to write a chess blog

[LisaW]

Hi, I'm still a little new here, I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I would love to write a chess blog! I have been playing tournament chess for over 20 years, I know the game, and I know the world chess scene. I would really enjoy it, and hope others will too.

How fun Lisa!

Right now, all of the available blog spaces are taken, but as an alternative, do you want to start a series of regular topics in the Hobbies or Gaming boards?

I would participate.  We have a few other players here as well.

My main claim to chess fame was getting wiped off the board by Diane Saveride in a collegiate tournament years ago.

lol, Well former World Champion Anatoly Karpov once said it takes 1,000 losses to become a master .  Yeah, I would love to start a forum topic, I'll do it sometime in the next few days

Oh... I will be following this!  I've always wanted to learn how play chess the proper way.  I get the gist of it, but I'm terrible at creating decent strategies.  I almost never win, so I really don't play.

Ok, the demand is there Maybe tonight, a bit of a party is starting, but for sure in the next day or two. Chess is one of my great passions, I love it as much as life!

I remember when a guy taught me chess as a kid. We played many games late into the night and I lost every one and ended up hardly ever playing again. I think it was just too much discouragement at an age when I was too impressionable.
