Happy New Year, 2024! I posted 52 times in 2023. For 2024, I plan blog posts once a month with more detail on the first Sunday. I enjoy this blog, but most of my attention and effort must go into my books. I sell thousands of books yearly, while only a few people read this free blog. I plan to continue on a regular but slower schedule this year to spend more time writing new books. I feel truly blessed because of the many people who buy my books. Thank you! You help me pay my bills.
Here are my Top 10 Favorite Chess Blog posts for 2023. They tend to be the most popular. I wrote 52 chess posts in 2023. Thank you for reading my blog and buying my books. Enjoy!

So my game against GM Zuckertort is #2, eh? I really enjoy defeating the Reti Opening with the Herrstrom Gambit. It takes people by surprise, but you have to know the lines.
ReplyDeleteYes, Lev. For some reason that one was rather popular. I'm going to do things a lot differently in 2024 with longer posts but only once per month. I wish you a great 2024! Tim
