New columns announcement

Submitted by girolamo on Tue, 07/07/2009 at 11:58pm.

So you believed the group name change would have automatically cured your chessaholism, and your hope was further fueled by the end of your weekly therapy. Congratulations, you couldn't be more wrong.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm happy to announce you I will soon start TWO new columns: a weekly one, called "Girolamo's tips", and a permanent one, "Chess Q&A".
In the first one, every week I'll post some tips to try to help you improve your chess skill. I'll mainly focus on the opening, but middlegame and endgame will be covered as well.
In the second one, YOU are the main character, with your reckless questions about EVERYTHING related to chess. I'll try to answer as many questions as I can, but since I'm no Master, everyone is welcomed to support me in this burdensome task.

So, are you still here?!(dubious move) Come on, close this stupid page and start thinking about your next question!

That's the spirit, happy_grasshopper! The problem is I've always had an unsane fear of grasshoppers.

Td = touchdown (but seriously tournament director)

GM =General motors (but seriously grandmaster)

KM = Killer Monkeys (but seriously I don't know)

Excellent news but for myself and other slow typists out there I'd like to abbreviate to C.A. when permissable. As to your tips and Q&A columns, does the photo suggest a venue for the 'Columns'

Nobody thinks that the group name is the cure...but it gives the identity to the people who have this addiction. You can't deny that for most members of this group it is not the rating which is important! Some people are addicted to drugs, some to chess. Admit it. But you want to make this group more decent-looking. What can i tell you, doctor? Be patient.
