Wherever you are and whatever time it is I want to wish you a hearty welcome to the new look Chess Any Time site.
So perhaps I should start with...Good Any Time!
Although you may be familiar with the possibility of playing online, and particularly go for that aspect of chess, we are hoping to bring to you some additional features to enhance your enjoyment of the wonderful world of chess.
We intend offering News from the most interesting events around the world as well as some of the highlights from notable games. In addition there will be a variety of videos, featuring everything from reports of where the top echelon are in action to basic endgame technique. If you like chess books, then I'll be keeping you informed about the latest publications. If you have your own opinion about them, then I'm interested!
Furthermore, I want to give you the possibility of participating even further! We all have some memorable moments from our chess career, perhaps a great game or the big one that got away. So if you want to send your game (or just a position) in to me, please go ahead, I'll take a look, make some comments and if I like it I'll put it on the site. Then your friends can see your contribution...any time!

My name is Glenn Flear and I'll be editing the site. I'm a Grandmaster from Leicester, England who lives near Montpellier in southern France.

I'll be aided and abetted by my wife Christine Flear, an International Woman's master, who has been five times French Ladies Champion.

We will be introducing other friends and colleagues over the coming months who will be helping out with this exciting project.
