It’s been a long time since anybody has done a round-up of what’s being published in the chess blogosphere. A year ago, I attempted to start a regular outing but I fell flat.
A new year is upon us. Even if it is not regular, an occasional carnival showcasing the chess blogging talent out there is a good thing.

Here’s the chess blogger’s page. It also lists past chess carnivals.
I’m glad to see you are taking another stab at this. I enjoyed the previous carnivals as it gave me a chance to be introduced to the various chess bloggers, and introduce myself to them.

(And yes, the USCF Forums were represented in it.)
The February Edition of the Chess Blog Carnival is just days away. Deadline for bloggers to submit their best article is February 15. Chessvine will edit and host this edition.
This is a tremendous opportunity for the chess fans to sample the best of the chess blogs that are active today. The internet contains many talented writers and analysts who are both famous and unknown. One of the exciting things about this project is that you may discover the earliest writings of one of the great players and/or pundits of the future. January saw a tremendous response. Even Susan Polgar was in on the action. Carnival articles include these categories:
- Annotated Games Book Reviews
- Chess Culture and Politics
- Chess Events
- Endgame Play
- Humor
- Improvement
- Opening Theory
- Position Analysis
- Strategic Concepts
