GM Daniel Naroditsky had some nice articles here. What's happened to them? I can't seem to find one starting from December...

Yes, he was one of the best writers on chess.com.

there has been a lack of decent articles for awhile now.  GM's Naroditsky and Smith both are not writing anymore, so we are basically left with GM Serper, IM Silman, and Batgirl,oh, and a bunch of advertisement articles for this site.  i like all 3, but the advertisememnts i can do without....i thought premim memberships were supposed to be add free?????  would be nice to get some good articles from rated players again, but then again, we do have Rob's sweet blogs!

That's true. But thankfully there are still some very good threads on the forums. Recently we've had some great ones by this guy:

IM Silman's good, GM Serper's good.  batgirl's not bad either, although more from a chess history than an "improve your play" perspective (Silman and Serper sometimes go along those lines too, but it's not their usual focus).  Naroditsky was generally pretty good too, though.  I hope he comes back.

There's some decent bloggers around, although two of the best just got banned for cheating (and apparently it was a legit ban in both cases).

Except that I've also stopped recently. Thanks anyway, perhaps I'll do some more!

He's back, it seems.
