Someone had posted this great chess site on here. I had to search through all my postings to find the link. The site has lots of great articles. One of them was how to study master games. However the link doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know where the site has moved to?

I connected OK. If I didn't know better I would suspect you are spamming. 😀

I think it's just a random generated page with chess related links/ads. the domain is inactive.

Agreed. Spam.

That's not the site though. I seems like the site is inactive or someone hasn't paid his bills.

I'm suprised you didn't have to use an edit this time to spell that much!

I'm not familiar with this. What do I do with that? Do I paste it in the address bar?

That site has a lot of good articles but that was just one of them. I was hoping to read the other articles as well.

yeah you can just paste it to get that article... if you have the name of the old articles you may be able to google them and then click on the cache link provided.

Wormwood, that is the article I wanted to post in your studying master games thread. Sound like it takes several hours to go through a game though and you need a chess clock 🙁

If this helps, I found an archive of the old site using Wayback Machine:

http://web.archive.org/web/20050311035119/http://www.tomrowan.com/

This may not be the site exactly as you remember it as this most recent version is from March 2005.

(FYI, if you ever need to find any other site that is no longer in existence, you can go to http://www.archive.org/web/web.php and type the URL in the search field.)

Thanks.

It has most of the articles. I see some of them are missing like the studying master games ones.

It's a great site and I think everyone who want's to improve and is below 1600 should read it.
