possible additions

Important tournaments, chess organizations, chess publications, chess rating systems, chess titles, and tournament systems (Swiss, round-robin, and knockout matches). Bubba73 20:43, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Getting there slowly. Found chess boxing today. Will add the kitchen sink eventually.    :)   All feedback and collaboration welcome. The Transhumanist 04:11, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

to be added

To be added somewhere: computer chess, correspondence chess, fast chess. Bubba73 01:27, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Shaping up

This article is shaping up really well. If you want an overview of chess, this may be better than the chess article. But not many people view it, maybe 20 per day. There are links to it from chess, rules of chess, glossary of chess, but strangely it doesn't get many viewers. Bubba73 06:12, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Prokeš maneuver

Prokeš maneuver (in endgames) is now a redirect. Should it be taken out of the Outline (it isn't very important). Bubba73 19:05, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

This outline improved my game a great deal

Editing this outline has increased my chess situational awareness immensely. Players who were beating me about half of the time win about 1 in 5 against me now. I recently took on 4 college chess club members at the same time and beat them all. I found the fundamental tactics section to be especially useful. The Transhumanist 18:56, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

I think it is a really good overview (of course, you did most of the work on it). I'm surprised that it isn't read very often - fewer than 100 times per day. There are links to it in many other articles. Bubba73 22:13, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Adding Descriptions To Variants

Hi, I was adding descriptions to variants and I intended to keep adding, but Toccata Quarta reverted them. I'm sorry but I can't see why brief descriptions wouldn't be better on each variant, considering that not every person will be interested in clicking each one of them to understand what it is about. Also, the format of brief descriptions next to each link is the same as any other areas of the article, so I would like to hear from Toccata Quarta how can it be "faulty", and why can other sections of the article have them and not variants, which seems illogical to me. I think they would only help and I was going to complete the work, so I wait for an explanation, otherwise I will keep working on it as I was before.

TC did not respond, so I'm back to my previous edits GreyWinterOwl (talk) 10:18, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
There were primarily reverted because you included the hypen within the link brackets which is not correct form. It was so fundamentally wrong, it proves that you have a lot to learn, as you could not even see why. Therefore it would be best for you to start at the beginning and do a Misplaced Pages 101. Try starting here, WP:PUMP.

Duplication

Outline of chess#Checkmate patterns is much the same as "Checkmates in the opening" at Outline of chess#Chess openings. Art LaPella (talk) 19:27, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
