As the forum was rarely used, I decided it was time to remove it. However, I received a complaint this morning and as a result I have added it back to the website. There is a however though… only members may now post forum comments. Joining is free and easy (it can be done through the forum page), but unfortunately adds an addition step that I think may deter people from posting forum comments.

Anyway, the forum is checked regularly, so please make use of it to post any chess related questions that may be nagging you.

I added the forum as a service to users and because of the selfish needs of the few I must now remove it. Spammers…please go away and die.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. If you require further advice or information, please do not hesitate to use the contact form to send me an email. I will endeavor to answer it as soon as possible.

Algebraic notation is a form of chess notation that allows a game or part-there-of to be represented textually. Once a player learns to read algebraic notation, they can make use of games and opening listed in many books and on many websites. This is an obvious advantage for all beginner players.
