[Please don't e-mail me with requests to be added to this list unless you have at least some free instructional material; instead tell Yahoo or Chess Space about your site.]

  1. Other instructional chess pages
  2. Links to look for coaching links:
  3. The big sites and indices...
  4. Other and Non-Internet contacts (shome mistake surely? - Ed.)

Other instructional chess pages (in no particular order):

  • Links to look for coaching links:
    1. Chess: Education index of Chess Space - recommended!
    2. Search the web's chess resources for links about "Education" (praise and thanks to Steffen Jakob for making the search possible!)
  • ...or browsing at any of the big sites or indices couldn't hurt...
    1. Sites: Internet Chess Library or its ICL European mirror site, Traveller Chess Archives, University of Pittsburgh Chess Club (which has an Education section), or its European mirror for ChessBase games.
      There is also the wonderful
    2. THE WEEK IN CHESS from Mark Crowther, and sundry local sites like the Dallas Chess Homepage
    3. Indices: You have got to check out Chess Space, rated one of the top 5% of Web sites: it has indices of links for openings and endings. Sean Whalen's site at The Mining Company had helpful descriptions of each site. Other starting points include Yahoo! - Chess Chesslinks Worldwide, Maclin Chess [links and news], the Yahoo Chess Index (and search facility), GNN's Chess Index and Rudolf Steinkellner's Chess Page (which has a whole bunch of amateur CC games).
    4. A recent and welcome development is Maskeret's [MECCA] MECCA Chess encyclopedia, where you can play Chess Roulette to get a random Chess Web site!
  • Other and Non-Internet contacts
    1. Addresses of UK Chess organisations.
    2. Many publishers and suppliers are getting onto the Web, in the British Isles this includes Batsford, Cadogan, Chess Monthly, KingPin magazine, Chess Mail...
    3. UK Chess suppliers ( postal addresses ) Commercial suppliers on the web [like ChessBase, Yasser Seirawan's Inside Chess and s1 editrice] can be found at Chess Space, and at the CHESS CONNECTION. They may have samples to download and/or a collection of links. One particularly for young players is to be found at Chess For Students, Inc..
    4. Nearly chess: This page is only about chess, but I do have a soft spot for Mini Chess Teaching Games and other Chess Variants like Semi-Random Baseline Chess and Exchange Chess (="Bughouse" in the US, although they do play mating drops), and I also enjoy Retrograde analysis and Studies and problems. And don't get me started on Bridge LATEST Bridge-on-the-WEB...
