Good morning!
Thanks to Carol and Alvin for ideas shared. I will try to research Alvin's
question about how many Americans are active chess players. That question
gave me an idea or two also - for example, what are the strongest
chess-playing countries? I recall reading a list not so long ago that took
the ten highest-rated players from each country, averaged their ratings,
and used that to rank the countries of the world. I found the results both
surprising and fun to read.
I am glad folks found the "history" articles of interest. I have one ready
to send tonight, and will continue to send something daily if I am able. I
will, however, "go silent" April 14-29 while on vacation.
Richard answered the question about reporting game results - he is our
most illustrious Tournament Director by popular aclaim. You will be
sending your game scores to him. If you would like to have a game
annotated, you can include that request with your report to Richard, and
he will forward it to me. Or you can send a game directly to me and I will
do my thing. Keep in mind it may take a wee bit of time to analyze the
game.
A suggestion: If you find an interesting article or game reported on the
list, you might want to create a special folder to start your own chess
library. I am doing that myself.
Rod
