Hey folks, I'm planning to try to put together a bi-monthly newsletter for the group. I'd like to report on various group activities (team matches, vote chess, etc...) as well as our members' individual success. I'm also planning to include a few puzzles and instructive articles (most by strong players, not myself ;)). I'd like to have the first issue ready and out to the presses (metaphorical of course) on saturday March 14. 

   If you have a game that you are proud of (or think people can learn from) please send it over to me (via message or chess.com email), annotations are encouraged but not required (although its always fine to use computer assistance for this I much prefer human annotations rather that lines and lines of computer variations). Be warned that if you do not provide your own annotations, I will provide them in your stead (with the help of my good friend fritz).

Along with annotated games, I would love to hear about your (or another member's) tournament successes, be this from chess.com, over the board or anywhere else you play. It is much easier for me if you also include a link to the final standings.

I'd also like to recieve some member written articles, these can be instructive, entertaining or just downright funny (although try to keep it chess related). If you find an article written by someone else that you find truly enthraling and think it deserves to be re-printed in the newsletter you're welcome to send that to me as well (with permission from the original author please). 

I also plan to include other fun features such as a puzzle solving contest, game of the month, etc... (with trophies and group respect provided ;)).

I'm glad to see our great new group growing strong and fast, good luck to all you.

Just bumping this thread folks, I've recieved a couple items for the newsletter but I could really use more (specificly annotated games), come on folks! This is your time to show off those awesome wins, or if you're more humble those instructive losses.
