Initial list based on articles linking to chess. Update as needed. Moved from main page. Bubba73 (talk), 00:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Does Go (board game) really belong here? I don't see how go is a chess topic any more than checkers or Stratego or tic-tac-toe is a chess topic. Krakatoa 23:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Huh. I see that Checkers is also listed. That seems weird to me, too. Krakatoa 23:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Do you think it would be good to seperate the list into biographies and other articles? The bio section would consist of only biographies, A-Z by last name, the other section would have all other articles, A-Z. Just a thought. Bubba73 (talk), 15:11, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
For items on this list, please be sure to use the name of the actual article and not one that redirects to it. The reason is so it will show up under "related changes". Bubba73 (talk), 18:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
It would be good if we put a line like this one at the top of the discussion page
{{WPBiography|living=no|class=|importance=}}
Put in yes/no for "living". I've done it for a few, but there must be many without such a tag. Bubba73 (talk), 02:32, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
But I do think this list is poorly organized. A simple alphabetical list works for content that is about a single subject, but this is about multiple subjects only related by one topic. I think it might be more helpful to organize it by subtopic. FrozenPurpleCube 17:12, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to have a bot similar to User:Mathbot to automatically create the list of all chess topics. (that is all articles in the category chess and its subcategories).

I removed 7 articles: game complexity, game theory and game tree and 4 more. They are so general and really shouldn't be in the list. Apart from the fairy chess pieces which are soon to be deleted, this list is now 100% identical with the list of all pages in chess categories. Voorlandt 19:33, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
How is this list maintained? I mean is it automatic or is it manual? If it's manual how do you know when new chess related articles get added? One example, now long ago the Cornstalk Defense was renamed the Corn Stalk Defense and impressively this article has it the new way. Is there some tools to help with tracking topics perhaps?

I disagree with the removal of 'Magical objects in Harry Potter'. 'Wizard chess' is one of the things getting teenagers interested in chess at the moment. While the current section says little about chess, it's got a better case to create a seperate 'Wizard Chess' article covering this from Jeremy Silman then removing the existing one in my opinion. ChessCreator ( talk) 17:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Could redirects be added to this page? It might be a bit unencyclopedic but it would help to notice if they change on the watchlist. They are not immune to vandalism and recently had to save Sicilian Defense redirect from an deletion. ChessCreator ( talk) 10:54, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Strange, no entries for either of these although when the USSR still existed it's championship was the strongest in the world and the Soviet Chess School produced a large number of World Champions. I am looking in the wrong place? If not I may create these pages in the future. SmokeyTheCat •TALK• 14:54, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Do we need the "other articles mentioning chess" section? Aren't these the same as Wikipedia:WikiProject Chess/Assessment/Bottom importance? Or could they be moved to another page or a subpage of this page? Bubba73 (talk), 03:35, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
Since the page was in violation of multiple policies, including WP:SELFREF and WP:INTDABLINK, I have implemented the solution of moving this page to project space, as an alternative to outright deletion of the page. Cheers! bd2412 T 21:20, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
