The Kibitzer in its 15th year

By Dr Tim Harding

The Kibitzer is a monthly column that I've been writing since 1996 for the top chess magazine website, The Chess Cafe.

New columns are posted on the second Wednesday of each month. The series deals with opening theory, current affairs in chess, historical topics, or whatever I feel like writing about!

The most recent articles are archived in PDF format.
