WELCOME TO MY CHESS POLITICAL DISCUSSION BOARD.

I was inspired to create this board by the efforts of Bill Goichberg who has begun his own newsboard at www.chessnews.org. The only criticism I have of Bill's board is that it is fairly subjective in the articles and position papers that it places there for others to read.

In the interest of fairness I will place position papers and short essays or articles on pertinent chess political topics from diverse points of view on this site for people to read.

Below are a few rules that I would enforce to those who wish to submit articles here:

A. No profanity.

B. Content must be chess related and somehow related to chess politics.

C. No name calling or personal attacks.

D. While anonymity is not forbidden, first consideration will be given to printing the positions of people who identify themselves.

I do not intend to limit points of view to one side of an issue on this board. I freely welcome opposite opinions or ideas on a host chess political topics.
