Chess Websites for April: - Chess Usenet Newsgroups
Usenet Newsgroups are not part of the World Wide Web but another part of the internet. Newsgroups are like bulletin boards where people post messages and information on an ongoing basis. As with the rest of the internet there is a huge amount of information regarding chess (or just about any other subjet) that is available mostly for free. There is also an immense archive maintained by Google.com of past postings at Google Groups Archives. Google.com has much more information regarding newsgroups. As an example, there is not much about the London System on the World Wide Web but there are numerous postings in the archives and the Usenet about this and other openings.
Some warnings: there are some irresponsible people in the newsgroups that post inappropriate links or material on the Usenet so parental supervision is strongly advised. Be careful of posting your own messages under your regular email address since spammers comb the Usenet for fresh targets, instead use a free email address from Hotmail.com or Yahoo.com and while free speech is the rule on the internet, if you post something someone doesn't like they may flood your email inbox with junk emails. Lastly, beware of what you download or the links to other sites as sometimes they are not what they claim to be. If you have any questions please email me at BxYonkersChessCb@aol.com.
Google Groups Archives.
You should be able to connect to these following links directly with your sevice provider's (i.e. AOL) software but if not then go to Google Groups.
