The tour is over
Yesterday afternoon I came home, back from Mainz, and this meant the official end of ChessVibes on tour. Four months I've been playing tournaments and making on-the-spot reports - time flies when you're having fun, the cliche says. Hopefully you, as the audience of this site, have enjoyed it too. For myself I had a great time; finally I've carried through my old dream of living the life of a professional chess player for a while. I think I've improved my chess a little bit and at the same time I've become even more ambitious as far as ChessVibes is concerned. So as from today you can expect the daily chess news reporting you're used to.
Peter Doggers joined a chess club a month before turning 15 and still plays for it. He used to be an active tournament player and holds two IM norms. Peter has a Master of Arts degree in Dutch Language & Literature. He briefly worked at New in Chess, then as a Dutch teacher and then in a project for improving safety and security in Amsterdam schools. Between 2007 and 2013 Peter was running ChessVibes, a major source for chess news and videos acquired by Chess.com in October 2013. As our Director News & Events, Peter writes many of our news reports. In the summer of 2022, The Guardian’s Leonard Barden described him as “widely regarded as the world’s best chess journalist.”
Peter's first book The Chess Revolution is out now!
