Tell Me Why...

You might want to send a message to every chess.com member. I believe you can do that?

That will get more people to know about it

Anyway, I think it needs to be advertised more.

I vaguely remember briefly seeing something about the Master's Bulletin several weeks ago.  Then nothing about it until now, even though I'm on this site daily.  You need better advertising.  I'm tempted to subscribe, but unsure what it costs since the prices seem to be listed in a currency that I don't recognize.

If there was a GM curriculum course that would be worth subscribing to.

Thanks everyone. I will answer specific questions soon! But please keep the comments coming!

What have you been up to Danny?

I joined 3 years ago and I'm about 5 years behind in my chess studies already.  Now maybe if instead of the Master's Bulletin you had a Patzer's Digest...

Hey danny, tonight I posted a thread entitled "why bother castling,here's why..." would you care to quickly cast your eye over the game , only 21 moves and advise if you think I was right that not castling was the primary reason why my opponent lost the game.No worries if you dont have the time to do this.

@ DanielRensch where should I signed up to subscribed to the Master's Bulletin? I suggest putting a link in the description to show which site people can subscribed will be very benefical. Also, I suggest describing the Master's Bulletin on chess.tv's next podcast like Hack Attack or the Reykjavik Open coming up. Thanks :)

Or both.

I'm on here everyday, I've never heard of this bulletin. Perhaps improved methods of getting the subscription details out there to all chess.com members. I also suggest that 50+ Euro is too high.

I enjoyed skimming through the free issues, and I am happy to see more coverage of current events and topics, but I just think the price is too high. There is so much great material by Dvoretsky, Nunn, Muller, etc. for the price of an issue or a two. I can get a lot more bang for my buck there.

Personally, I also felt the quality was a bit erratic. I enjoyed some of the articles very much, but several articles were full of lengthy variations capped with an evaluation and no additional insight.

Perhaps you could ask Barry Soetoro to get a law passed where people are forced to purchace it even if a vast majority are opposed to it. Shh, don't tell anyone that's communism. Shh................

No ones forcing me to get either. Wheres the gun in my

face.

It should be free to diamond members!

Too much above my head: my enjoyment of the reading wouldn't be worth the price.

Indeed, even if something specifically designed for beginners gets included, I would probably prefer buying a premium membership and get more tactic training or give a try at the chess mentor.

Basically: I don't think of myself as a serious player, one that reads books about chess or reviews etc.

I haven't heard of it before this article.  The price is way too steep.  At over $5/issue, it's more expensive than Chess Life, but at least Chess Life also gets me into tournaments.  Get me down into the $1.50 range, and we'll talk.

Perhaps graduated pricing based on being levels of premium on chess.com?

Or like I said in post 35, just make people buy it. It seems to have worked in a free society as of now.
