You should also add FICS and ChessCube to the list of chess servers. 

A few other forums are Chess Forum, Chesschat, Ozchess, Space Chess and ChessTalk.

Thanks chk and Antillian. Have added some sites -- talk went really well. Yes, will add book review section -- I'd thought of this but hadn't had time, but I'm sending folk the electronic file only in around ten hours' time, so do keep suggs coming!

Cool blogs TN! -- thanks.

You could add a section on site with book reviews: Chesscafe.com, TWIC, Chessville....

[u]General[/u]
Chessdom (for english commentary of live tournament games - they also have this Chessbomb link for discussing a live game which is super!)

[u]Archives[/u]
www.academicchess.org (has good stuff on Fischer)

[u]Playsites[/u]
Gameknot (corr site), PlayChess (of course!), Shredderchess (to play against the computer), [url]http://www.ludochess.com/jester_eng/jester_eng.php3[/url] (has the option to play blind against a PC)

[u]Openings[/u]
I would add Exeter Club also here (especially for juniors); Shredderchess (for an easy to use database of moves - not games!)

[u]Miscellaneous[/u]
Live Top List, Shredderchess (for tactic puzzles of the day & for endgame tablebases), chesstempo.com (the best site on tactics imo), [url]http://www.chessvideos.tv/[/url] (many useful stuff like setting an endgame position to play against Crafty or create your own chess diagrams), [url]http://www.ajlan.net/sayfalar/fenkodu/fenkod.html[/url] (if you need a FEN code of a position), [url]http://www.letsplaychess.com/chessclubs/PGNViewer/pgnboard.asp?PgnMoveText[/url] (if you need to replay a game/PGN or record moves - of course some other sites may offer the same but I have not updated myself on this field lately..)

The blogs of Carlsen, Nakamura, Mamedyarov, Bhat, Bluvshtein, Quality Chess, Monokroussos and Greengard (chessninja) spring to mind.

There's also www.chessending.com and www.chess.com, and for book publishers there's Niggemann.

Since my talk is this evening, if anyone had some immediate extra suggestions that would be great! But obviously I hope that this thread might be of interest in the longer term as well, and to more than just me.

(PS. Hope I'm not transgressing in citing one or two commercial sites, but if I am do let me know and of course I'll delete them.)
