Africa Chess Net has just launched its chess forum. Since the relaunch of the website some chess players had suggested that a separate chess forum be created. This chess forum would facilitate the discussion of all matters related to chess in Africa.
There was some debate on the merits of hosting the forum within this website and on another website. For now the website is hosted on another platform. It was not possible to host the chess forum on this website as this site uses the wordpress.com platform. The idea for a forum was discussed several months ago but at the time it was felt that there needs to be a website providing regular chess content. One chess player in particular Taka Chipanga has been pushing for the creation of a chess forum for as long as I can remember.
Discussions on the forum will be categorised as follows:
- General Chess discussion,
- Chess Opening discussion
- Chess Middlegames discussion
- Endgame discussion
- Federation admin and Development matters
- Junior Chess
- Rating debates
- Chess History
- Women Chess
- Death and Obituaries
- Chess equipment For sale and exchange
- Special section
- African Chess
Looking forward to your continued support on the forum.
