Chess is art also, at least in opinion of many chess players such as Alekhine and many others.
Important tournaments, chess organizations, chess publications, chess rating systems, chess titles, and tournament systems (Swiss, round-robin, and knockout matches). Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 20:43, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
To be added somewhere: computer chess, correspondence chess, fast chess. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 01:27, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
This article is shaping up really well. If you want an overview of chess, this may be better than the chess article. But not many people view it, maybe 20 per day. There are links to it from chess, rules of chess, glossary of chess, but strangely it doesn't get many viewers. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 06:12, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
Prokeš maneuver (in endgames) is now a redirect. Should it be taken out of the Outline (it isn't very important). Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 19:05, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
Editing this outline has increased my chess situational awareness immensely. Players who were beating me about half of the time win about 1 in 5 against me now. I recently took on 4 college chess club members at the same time and beat them all. I found the fundamental tactics section to be especially useful. The Transhumanist 18:56, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I was adding descriptions to variants and I intended to keep adding, but Toccata Quarta reverted them. I'm sorry but I can't see why brief descriptions wouldn't be better on each variant, considering that not every person will be interested in clicking each one of them to understand what it is about. Also, the format of brief descriptions next to each link is the same as any other areas of the article, so I would like to hear from Toccata Quarta how can it be "faulty", and why can other sections of the article have them and not variants, which seems illogical to me. I think they would only help and I was going to complete the work, so I wait for an explanation, otherwise I will keep working on it as I was before.

Outline of chess#Checkmate patterns is much the same as "Checkmates in the opening" at Outline of chess#Chess openings. Art LaPella (talk) 19:27, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:04, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
@MaxBrowne2 the outline header is pretty quirky, I agree, but I also think it's very specific in what it's doing for the reader. "Descriptions" feels a little murky by comparison, but it's probably fine. Remsense诉 12:44, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
