Jim West

Jimwestonchess.com is something of a hidden gem in the global chess blogging community, with Life Master Jim West providing an experienced perspective on the latest in chess. Jimwestonchess.com presents the author’s interesting take on openings, as well as insightful chess reporting with an emphasis on local chess news in the Northeast US area. Jimwestonchess.com also sells 2 different books by West about the “The Philidor Counter-Gambit”. West is a feared opponent at chess tournaments in the Northeast, especially having scored many strong wins at the US Amateur Team tournaments. Throughout a long and distinguished career in chess, West has been featured in the “Chess Life” magazine as well as many other popular chess publications. Jimwestonchess.com’s opening analysis is aways interesting, as West is well-known for his eccentric choice of openings, as he not only plays the Philidor Counter-Gambit but also regularly employs the Fajarowicz Variation of the Budapest Gambit (1.d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5 3. dxe5 Ne4!?). My favorite part about Jimwestonchess.com is that it represents the perspective of an experienced chess player and professional chess teacher that continues to whole-heartedly promote the game.
