    Chess Café Relaunching

    I would say that many people keep up with the latest chess news by reading Chess Café’s Daily Chess News Links each day.

    http://www.chesscafe.com/

    While the Features have been kept up to date this month, the columns have been replaced with an announcement:

    Look for a new column when we relaunch in May.

    Except for the redoubtable Tim Harding with this link

    http://www.chessmail.com/timsite/kibitz-hiatus.html

    Giving the message:

    Kibitzer hiatus

    Due to an imminent reorganisation of The Chess Cafe website, where the owners say they will post no new columns for three months. I have been asked to write my next Kibitzer column for a deadline in early May 2014.

    In the meantime I plan to post some new articles or updates of older articles here.

    Starting with:

    Frankenstein and Dracula at the chessboard

    and

    Zukertort's mystery tour in Dublin, 1879

    More articles will be posted in March.
    ______________

    No news of what is happening to the site has leaked out. Are they running into financial difficulties?

    I have looked at the books for sale and there are many e-books and no really recent printed books. They have a lot of the McFarland books but these are aimed at libraries, collectors and historians – hardly best sellers.

    I hope that it really is just a relaunch and that Chess Café is with us for years to come.
