Our chess story writing and art contest has now started, it will end November first of this year and stories, jokes, poems, songs, sayings, anecdotes, your own opening variations, pictures for a book cover, or puzzles are all encouraged as long as they are clean and you invented them yourself. They will be made into a book after the members have voted the winners, but even if you don't win your work will still be included in the book. And some famous chess masters and chess authors have agreed to participate so you will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to co-author in the same book as famous chess masters. so don't miss out!

The rules and description are at these two addresses:
