[Blog History]

   After a substantial time of being away from chess and this site, I've decided to make a surprise appearance and let you all know out there who have been following me (all 5 of you), that I'm returning to Chess.com.

 

   The reasons why I left were never divulged (nor will they be) but let's just say that I noticed things on the site I didn't agree with. So I took some time away from the site to deal with it. Naturally, with me, it took longer than usual, but I feel now is the right time to return.

 

   The Official Chess.com/TV Group has grown to over 1100 members, the Anand vs. The World vote chess match is coming up next Sunday and the buildup to the Anand vs. Carlsen match is underway.

 

   I haven't figured out where I'm going to focus on and what kind of blog this is going to be; a personal chess journey blog, a chess news blog or anything like that. I guess I will have to decide on that as I move on.

 

   There's definitely a lot to focus on now with the Beijing Grand Prix, all the cheating articles, Anand, Carlsen, the September Sinquefield Cup and everything in-between, so I see it is as the right time to return to my news blogging, if I decide to go that way, which I probably will.

 

   But to those who have stuck with me, just know that I have returned to Chess.com and, more specifically, to the glorious blog. Laughing

 

   Have a good day everyone!

   Co-creator, along my with girlfriend RookedonChess, of the Official Chess.com/TV Group, back in November of 2010 with the support of Chess.com, namely IM David Pruess and IM Danny Rensch. The group has since boiled over the 2000 member mark and is growing more and more every day and new shows and events are constantly being added to the arsenal. There's always something happening in the group. Don't miss out.

  

   Come join it now and interact with the hosts, leave comments and suggestions on how to better Chess.com/TV or The Official Chess.com/TV Group.

  

   I am now once again doing my chess journalism on Chess.com, following news, events, announcements, etc. I'm not going to let a couple of idiotic people chase me away from what I love to do. If I get any bad comments, they will be deleted right away.
