Welcome at Chessvibes! This is a weblog and web site together, and it's about chess. Our goal is to provide interesting articles about chess news, as well as background stories and columns.

It all started on February 6th, 2006, when editor-in-chief Peter Doggers started a blog for publishing and discussing chess games. Within a year, the site grew into a chess hot spot where 750 unique visitors find articles of a wide variety, but all about chess. The Corus Chess Tournament made the site world famous, thanks to the many videos we're publishing, raising the visitors number to thousands and thousands.

Enjoy your stay at Chessvibes!
