I played actively in tournaments from 1972-1978....Puerto Rico National Champion in 1976...now playing for fun. Love chess to a fault; rusty as heck right now. Buying books of all kinds: game collections, endgame, opening...etc, but mostly game collections.  Favorite players...Bronstein, Tal, Emanuel Lasker, Rubinstein, Geller, Tartakower, Nezhmetdinov, Adorjan.  FIDE Rating 2140 (January 7, 2025) Note: Please do not ask me to be your "friend" or to join any club or to play online. My only interest in this site, at this moment, is to write and read interesting articles about chess. Thanks.

Chess is one of the oldest surviving games on the planet, with our current rule system being mostly intact since the 1400s. It's also the most widely played game on the planet. I take interest in the intersection of these two pieces of trivia: the history of competition. I mostly write about 19th century tournaments in my "Winner's POV" series, but if I find something else that's interesting to write about, I shall (ideas welcome).

I am a New York-based writer, documentary producer, and chess expert (USCF rating ~2060). My insane obsessive hobby for a long time has been to play through old chess games, more or less in chronological order. I am interested in the evolution of chess and looking to follow various ideas as they develop over time, but most of all, I am interested in the players and in treating them sort of the way an art survey book would treat artists. The theory is that each top player – to consistently defeat other grandmasters – has to bring something new to the game, has to have a philosophy of chess that sets them apart.  I am thrilled to share that there is now a book version of the blog available at Amazon.com.  For non-chess-writing (if there really is such a thi...

Nunca li nenhum livro ou tive muitos amigos que se interessavam tanto quanto eu, então comecei a esquecer do jogo. Lá por 2014, com 20 anos, comecei a aprender e praticar de novo, mas o trabalho engoliu todo meu tempo e tive de desistir de novo. Sempre amei o jogo, então mais uma vez estou dando uma chance ao meu xadrezinho, mesmo que seja capivara demais.

  When reading a chess book I find it so much easier to follow the game on an analysis board rather than a physical board.  So I have compiled libraries from Chess.com's database of the games cited in several chess books by Soltis, Vukovic, and others.  To download these libraries link to my blog  https://www.chess.com/blog/Bruce_Hedman/libraries-from-chess-coms-database    Tell us about yourself.  I like to know whom I am playing.  I am 71,  and haven't played chess since graduating from high school in 1972, the year Fischer beat Spassky.  But now, having climbed my professional ladders, I want to have fun and stay sharp.  Also, chess sets can be artistically beautiful, and I have a few vintage sets.  I recommend "Master...
