(Lost?) *********************************** OR: ( Need A New Customer Answer Tool? Tier 3 Support provides companies with efficient and cost-effective, online question & answer customer support tools. - Your customer support solution. http://www.tier3support.com/ ) (My site map.) ( Need a good map? Click here. Or click here. ) Saturday, April 21, 2001. You should note that I now am adding pages on a regular basis. (I now have OVER 100 HTML pages in this site.) I have decided NOT to try to continuously update the site map, [graphic/picture above ] as it will simply become too large and unwieldy. I will simply try to add a link to the page - as below. (This will always include a description of what you will find on that page.) BUT ... you should also know that MANY of the pages are not even listed here. I have also decided that some pages should be a surprise and the reward of the faithful followers of my site and those who wish to explore... (I also have dozens and dozens of annotated games I am working on and trying to complete them in preparation for posting on the Internet. Many are posted, but you cannot view them because I have not finished them and the links to them are NOT established. But hopefully in a few months you will be able to look at literally over a hundred deeply annotated games.) Interesting pages to note

Because of the size of this page, and the number of different sections I have added to it, I finally had to split this page into several different pages. (Actually, [now]; a total of SEVEN different pages!) {March 28th, 2001. All the "Non-chess" pages have been completely redone. I have went to much smaller fonts and tried to make the pages much easier to use and read. And people continue to send me suggestions and tips for possibly improving my web site.}

#11 b.] The Chess Tips Page.
(For parents of chess-playing children.) -
(July, 2004.) I now have many pages that are not listed on this page. The whole list would be too long to carry in its entirety. Here I just wanted you to get the GENERAL IDEA ... and also to be able to find THE MAIN PAGES!!! Anything more than this would be clumsy and impossible to manage! This little animated gif is now around 7-8 years old. (August 15th, 2004.) ---> So it is sort of dated. I asked several friends, students and fans if I should dump it. (They all said, "NO WAY!!") When I first made this gif, I had no list of best games, best players, best books, etc. Now I have completed many of these tasks. But it remains here - more or less - by popular demand. It is also a very interesting animated gif. It was very time-consuming to create. (It has even been studied by one small art school in California.) Copyright (c) A.J. Goldsby I Copyright (©) A.J.
