This may sound similar to board games proposal, but I think a game like Chess deserves the respect/audience of a dedicated site instead of being clubbed with Cards, Scrabble, Carrom etc. – Binoj Antony Jun 19 '10 at 12:40

Why does this need to be separate from the Board Games site which is already in public beta and already has a number of questions on Chess? – Brent Warner Nov 17 '10 at 18:48

@Brent, please read my first comment. The same logic by which you have many languages have their own proposals instead of having only one proposal named Languages and likewise for many other topics like Phone OSs (Android, iOS etc), Software (DotNetNuke, Selenium, etc), just look around to find so many examples of this. Above all there is no site where chess enthusiasts can ask questions especially for analysis etc to be answered. Even GMs/IMs can become members and help out. I cant imagine such experts or even users doing this on a generic website. – Binoj Antony Nov 18 '10 at 18:05
