This section could be used to discuss tournament games and/or results, whereas the General Chess section would have the same purpose at it does at the moment. What is your opinion of this idea? I think the Forum has quite sufficient sub sections already, and to contemplate adding more arbitrary ones would only create a confused and cluttered look that would act as a turn off for many. Best to leave well enough alone. Toppy

	Current results for the poll: 11 members want the new sections "Improvement" and "Books" in the forum, whereas 8 members want the new section "Tournaments" in the forum. So, when are we planning to officially include these new sections in the Forum?

	As long as the total number of subfora is manageable, I don't see much downside, and the upside is that it makes it easier to hunt down info, since the Search function seems a bit flakey (or maybe its just me...)

	I voted in favour of "Tournaments" and "Improvement". With the size of the section "General Chess" expanding at a rapid pace, a couple of new sections for the most popular topics within General Chess would be a real bonus.

	OstapBender wrote on 06/03/08 at 15:10:41: IMO, the other options (Tournaments and Improvement) seem well enough covered within the "General Chess" section. I don't think tournaments are covered all that well in "General Chess". If you look at the 40 most recent threads in "General Chess", only 2 of them are about tournaments. Interestingly, both of them were started by me . I think having a new section specifically for "Tournaments" would mean more discussion in the forum about recent games and results. Perhaps a "Tournaments" section could be expanded to include game analysis & discussion? I agree that there are already a number of threads on improvement in the General Chess forum. However, to me that is more a reason to have a new section titled "Improvement" rather than a reason not to. If a number of members want to discuss how to improve in chess, then why not create a new section specifically for that purpose? I agree with you that ChessPub doesn't need to have a new section. However, I don't see any reason not to, and it would make it easier to locate posts on the topics of books, improvement or tournaments. Besides, with over 1400 members now, I think the Forum would benefit if the number of sections was increased (there are 400+ threads in the "General Chess" section already).
