This article is connected with my previous article "Magician!!" (http://www.chess.com/blog/Tharinda_Nimnajith/magician) in which I mentioned about http://www.chesspersonality.com/! I wanted to share some videos of world's top players taking on the quiz and more chess sites that may help you to improve your chess skills!
