Hey everyone, I've got some exciting news!! I am deeply honored to announce that as of yesterday (Monday) morning, I am the new New York Times chess columnist!! During this first week, the column will consist of a new puzzle every day, freely accessible to everyone without a subscription. The NYT and I collaborated to develop a fully interactive interface specifically for the column, which allows you to input moves and receive detailed feedback as you solve each puzzle. I would be very grateful if you could check out the column. It is still in a trial phase, and the more hype we generate, the greater the chance that the chess column will become a permanent fixture. The first puzzle ("You Versus Frumkin), as well as every subsequent puzzle, can be found at this link:

www.nytimes.com/topic/subject/chess (then click on Chess Replay: You versus Frumkin or the subsequent puzzles, once they appear).

The second puzzle will be out Tuesday morning. Once again, the first week is entirely free to everyone, subscriber or not, after which the pace slows down to one puzzle a week. I hope you enjoy the puzzles!! Please note that a few minor kinks in the interface are still being worked out, but I'm satisfied with the final product and I've got my fingers crossed :) Thanks again for being such an incredible, supportive, and wholesome community. Happy solving!
