Why this site exists
Most online writing about chess is either thin gear-review content or polished aspirational pieces that skip the practical detail. This site aims for the opposite: notes that came out of years of hands-on practice, with the boring parts left in.
Posts here are not sponsored. The site does not run affiliate links. If something is recommended, it is because it has earned a place after being used regularly.

About the editor
Dakota Bell has been writing about this subject for over a decade. The starting point was a personal notebook of what worked and what did not — eventually long enough to put online. Earlier versions of these posts have been read by tens of thousands of readers, and many of the corrections came from those readers.
