Where to Go From Here?
With one eye on What's Popular, What's Not, and the other eye on mark-weeks.com/aboutcom (Welcome to 'Chess for All Ages' : Index of Feature Articles : 2002-03 • 2004-05 • 2006-08), I developed a list of pages to copy from archive to my About.com work. Rounding out the Every Move Explained series, there remains to be done:-
- 2008-02-09 : Every Move Explained : 1960 Leningrad, Spassky vs. Bronstein, plus two other games.
As for other pages, these look promising:-
- 2002-10-12 : Portable Game Notation (PGN; 2010-07-05)
- 2003-05-24 : Checkmates with Names (2010-07-19)
- 2005-02-12 : Romance in Chess (2010-08-02)
- 2005-06-25 : Introduction to World Chess Federation (FIDE) Zones (2011-08-22)
- 2005-10-22 : 2005 FIDE World Chess Championship (2011-08-29)
- 2005-11-12 : Chess Problems, Puzzles, and Studies (2011-08-15)
- 2005-12-17 : Top 10 Popular Chess Openings (2010-08-09)
- 2006-07-01 : So You Want to Organize Chess Tournaments? (2010-08-23)

- 2007-04-28 : Issues on the Chess Table : Chess as Sport (2011-09-26)
- 2007-10-06 : Winning the World Championship 2007 (2011-09-12)
- 2008-01-19 : 60 Memorable Fischer Moments (2010-07-12)
- 2008-04-05 : Chess Grandmasters (2010-07-26)
Another series to consider started with:-
The single article that I've converted from this series -- Sicilian Defense - 2...e6 Variations -- was at the top of the list in 'What's Popular, What's Not', but that might be a fluke. I'll convert one more to see if it has a similar success (2010-08-16, w/ separate index).
On 1 November 2008, I noted that for the embedded links to web.archive.org, my last working link was from 2 February 2008. Now the last working link is from 16 June 2008. That almost brings me up to the end of my time with About.com. Thanks, Archive.org!

Later: To keep track of which pages have been converted, I added links to the relevant post (plus the conversion date) whenever I converted a new page.
