17 April 1998 My goal in these pages is to provide information on my favorite subject of correspondence chess (cc). The first step of providing a selection of my previously published articles and APCT News Bulletin columns from the last few years is complete. Next I plan to start publishing a regular column, perhaps on a weekly basis, to provide information and opinion concerning topics pertinent to cc. Guest columnists will also appear from time to time. I welcome the involvement of fellow chess enthusiasts. Hopefully, I'll get some interesting feedback and suggestions concerning topics of interest. There will likely be little analysis of chess positions or other such "technical" material. Rather, I'll emphasize the human side of the game and discuss such things as chess ethics, trends, tournament results (when available), reviews and opinions,interesting stories and perhaps a little humor. I will not shy away from controversial subjects or statements of opinion. When I obtain the use of a scanner I'll put up a selection of my chess cartoons (LunchBag Art) and photos of interest to chess enthsiasts. The emphasis will be on cc, but I won't entirely ignore Over-The-Board (OTB) chess. My intent is to avoid lots of graphics (which slow down page loading) and emphasize the written word. Let me know what you think. As a novice to the web page world I may miss problems that show up on different size monitors (I use a 17 inch) or other web software (I use Netscape 3). Please let me know if you spot any problems or have any suggestions for improvement.
