I'm getting back into chess and wondering what chess blogs are worth following. I'm interested in discussions of matches, analysis of positions and openings, and anecdotes about the game and its players. What sites do you check on a regular basis?

I quit playing a long time ago but I still check out The Week In Chess from time to time.

Here are some of my favorites, in no particular order:

ChessBase: International news.
Streatham & Brixton Chess Blog: Grab bag of interesting stuff, often at the club level.
Chess Vibes: International news.
Dana Mackenzie: Master talking largely about his own games, recently starting translating Russian posts too.
Mark Ginsburg: IM analysis of current and historical games.
The Chess Mind: Master Dennis Monokroussos mostly annotates games from top-level events.
The Daily Dirt: Entertaining commentary on top-level chess news.

Do check out Chess Network's YT channel. Extremely well-presented and easy-to-follow analysis of grandmaster games.

Not exactly a blog, but I like Chess Cafe.
