Not easy to get volunteers... >- Steve (ICD/Your Move) Maybe you should post something asking people for some articles. I know last time this was done, but most people I would assume would not get their article in there cause they do not write great and thought they would get turned down, so they never try. Maybe if you ask people to write and submit acticles, and if they are not that great then Fernando or someone else if they can might be able to edit them. Not to a large extent, just to make things flow and the english sound better. I do not know if anyone is willing to take the time to edit these things. But nothing else is working at this point in time. I know its been about 3 months since I have looked at the report page, simply due to the fact nothing new is ever there. Maybe we could also have apart from pure computer chess reports, more computer chess philosophical (hope I spelt that right) things, like wome in chess, or Kasparovs advance chess playing. Make them articles that might draw peoples iterest. I know most of the program reviews I do do read them, just never pay much attention to them, cause if it is about a program I have no intention of buy I skip through it. But if I saw an essay type writing on say women and computer chess, then I would read it to hear a point of view. So more of those and more often, and I will visit there more often. Its a shame with all the good writers here, we do not hear more about their philosphy of computer chess. I am sure they would have some iteresting topics to write about.
