Hi! I'm vitualis, the chess noob (aka chessnoob64), and I run the "Adventures of a Chess Noob" YouTube channel and blog. I'm learning and having fun with chess! I restarted playing chess recently after my interest was rekindled by the release of "The Queen's Gambit" on Netflix. I mostly play 1 or 2 games a day, and am trying to improve (slowly!). I document some of my games and learning experiences on my blog and YouTube channel. On chess.com: https://www.chess.com/blog/vitualis and independent platform: https://adventuresofachessnoob.com/ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@chessnoob64 Don't miss out on a copy of my book!

I am a New York-based writer, documentary producer, and chess expert (USCF rating ~2130). My insane obsessive hobby for a long time has been to play through old chess games, more or less in chronological order. I am interested in the evolution of chess and looking to follow various ideas as they develop over time, but most of all, I am interested in the players and in treating them sort of the way an art survey book would treat artists. The theory is that each top player – to consistently defeat other grandmasters – has to bring something new to the game, has to have a philosophy of chess that sets them apart. For non-chess-writing (if there really is such a thing), my primary home is the Substack 'Castalia.' This includes fiction, essays, personal reflections, commentary on politics a...

My name is Nikola Nestorović (1989), a Chess Grandmaster and Fide Coach from Belgrade (Serbia), and I have played chess for over 20 years. Photo: Chess Bundesliga, where I played for the chess team from Augsburg. During that time, I accomplished most of my playing career goals. The most important fact is that I became a Grandmaster at the end of 2015 and officially became FIDE Chess Trainer in 2018 with the best Fide rating of 2517. As I was growing up, I realized that I enjoyed teaching, so I decided that I was going to pursue that kind of profession.

I was born in 1960 - the year a young Mikhail Tal became World Champion. After leaving the British junior chess circuit I started working unusual hours and have done ever since. For that reason I had very little chance to play chess as an adult, and instead bought chess books. At least 1000 have passed through my hands, and I have gone over at least 50,000 Master level games. I am fascinated by chess as an evolutionary process, and have been writing about chess history since the days when I had to type up articles on a stencil for a 'duplicating machine'. There is a saying :- 'No-one is entitled to an opinion. Everyone is entitled to an informed opinion. Who would say that they are entitled to ignorance.' Sometimes things that ' everybody knows' are not true. All chess players are my f...

INTRODUCTION Hey there, my name is Noah B! I am a Christian teen who loves everything chess. MY CHESS JOURNEY Almost 3 years ago now, I discovered the game of chess when one of my best friends started really getting into it. He taught me how the pieces move and all of that, and I was fascinated. I decided that I wanted to get much better. I created a Chess.com account, started watching a lot of chess on YouTube and Twitch, and the rest is history. After about a year of playing chess, I started participating in my first chess tournaments. I was terrified, but I knew it was good for me if I wanted to get better. I faced my fears and kept participating in more and more chess events. Eventually, I started winning trophies and even finished first in a couple of tournaments! My biggest...

Note: Please do not ask me to be your "friend" or to join any club or to play online. My only interest in this site, at this moment, is to write and read interesting articles about chess. Thanks. I played actively in tournaments from 1972-1978....Puerto Rico National Champion in 1976...now playing for fun. Love chess to a fault; rusty as heck right now. Buying books of all kinds: game collections, endgame, opening...etc, but mostly game collections.

Chess is one of the oldest surviving games on the planet, with our current rule system being mostly intact since the 1400s. It's also the most widely played game on the planet. I take interest in the intersection of these two pieces of trivia: the history of competition. I mostly write about 19th century tournaments in my "Winner's POV" series, but if I find something else that's interesting to write about, I shall (ideas welcome).
