Just because you ask for it doesn't mean you'll get it. Why not try a
chess newsgroup instead. A simple search for "chess newsgroups" in Alta
Vista gives 75 replies...


At http://www.chessmail.com/chesslink.html I find this info:

---------------------------------------------------------------
The Main Chess Newsgroups

Especially if you are a newcomer to the Internet, you should
also subscribe to at least one of the USENET chess
newsgroups which are subdivided as follows:

rec.games.chess.play-by-email
     Correspondence chess news and challenges. 
rec.games.chess.computer 
     Both for programmers and about commercial
     products; can be technical. 
rec.games.chess.politics 
     Mostly US issues but FIDE shenanigans too. 
rec.games.chess.analysis 
     Specific questions, often about opening or endgame
     theory, or specific positions. 
rec.games.chess.misc 
     The most important general chess newsgroup. 
alt.chess.ics 
     Mostly for people who play on-line chess by telnet
     or free servers. 
alt.chess.bdg 
     For addicts of the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit.

Note that it is considered very bad form to post the identical
message to more than one of these, thus defeating the
whole object of the division that was made in 1995.
