Jim Green has made a few entries in the new Manitoba junior chess blog. I've provided a permanent link to the blog among the "Related Chess Links" in the column on the right hand side of this blog. Hooray Jim!
Come to think of it, there are other chess blogs by Manitobans. At my last count, Jason Repa was up to 10 blogs ... although not all of them are strictly related to chess. While some of the material is controversial, I would be remiss if I did not add that Jason also administers a yahoo chess discussion group. Please feel free to let Exclam! online readers know about any other chess blogs by/about Manitobans.
Chess blogs can be a great source of information and discussion. They typically allow the reader to respond, make remarks, and sometimes get feedback from the author. Some of my favourite chess blogs are The Daily Dirt, a kind of chess gossip blog from journalist Mig Greengard, ChessVibes, with great short videos, and Susan Polgar's chess blog. The Kenilworth (NJ) chess club has a listing of interesting chess blogs. There are many, many other blogs as well. Do you have a favourite that you would like to share ? Please do. Add a comment here or e mail me at Exclam DOT online AT gmail DOT com (Replace DOT with a . and replace AT with a @ .) and I can add the link to this blog if it's of general interest.

My personal favourite for rather obvious reasons is (videochess.net). An Icelandic GM, among other contributors (all Icelandic) has made a series of videos about the Leningrad Bird Opening (1.f4 d5 2.g3...).

Do you ever call that opening the Reversed Leningrad Dutch?
