Reviews

"The authors have done a conscientious job, combing over a myriad of chess web sites and the resultant revision has been very thorough including sample articles from the web, briefings on technical terminology and interviews with various people who run chess web sites. This is a good reference source for anyone wondering whether they want to go to the trouble of getting an internet connection for chess purposes."

A few days ago I bought a book 'Chess on the Web' by Sarah Hurst, Richard Palliser and Graham Brown. It is a very useful guide to chess on the Internet and I would recommend it to everyone, particularly to chess web masters, as there is a wealth of information, practical hints and interviews with well-know chess web masters, such as Mark Crowther of the TWIC (www.chesscenter.com/twic/twic.html) and Hanon Russell of the Chess Café (www.chesscafe.com).
