The Chess Drum community…
Today marks the 24th anniversary of the founding of The Chess Drum. It is rare to have a digital platform for such a long time, and it may very well be the end of an era. Times have certainly changed, and content has moved across various online platforms. The Chess Drum will move into a different space and hopefully create a more dynamic way of displaying content.
There are many stories to tell. This year we will not provide a long story or recap the history of The Chess Drum’s evolution. That story can be found here. However, I will recap some of my favorite stories over the years. Thanks for supporting the site’s mission to show the universality of chess. Chess is thriving because we have more stories to tell in places often overlooked.
Thanks for your support!
