Bulldog chess website

I say this just as a mere suggestion, but we should make a website, with the rules and pieces. This way we could attract many more people than just the typical forum strollers of chess.com.

I was thinking of doing that, but got pretty busy on a lot of other stuff instead. It is still something that I might do later on. It might be like a "bulldog hall of fame". The purpose would be to hi-lite the history, show some tournament results, and feature players who have achieved special fame.

But I haven't gotten very far yet. I'll let you know if and when I start.happy.png

Sounds good, we can't really do that here!

I could say Bulldog history is divided into five parts as of now: Prehistory, Organization, Champions, Doldrums, and Explosion.

Doldrums? Explain.

You could also add “modern”. Bulldog received tons of new players in Feb-June of this year, but the rate of new coming players has unfortunately slowed.

Avatar of Metar_Taf

It will not be "modern" a year from now!

Avatar of Metar_Taf

I think that the "new player entry rate" was slow during last November to March/April. Then players started pouring in.

Prehistory=Dec 2016-Feb 2017

Orginization=Feb to Aug

Champions=Aug to Oct

Doldrums=Nov to Mar/April 2018

Explosion=then to now.

I believe that @evert823 is working on an actual bulldog chess server to play live chess on

Although the idea of a bulldog history book sounds fun.
