Here I present a list of 12 great chess pages from which you will definitely learn something:

Most common topics include video coverage of professional chess tournaments and matches, opening analysis videos, tactical studies and Kingcrusher’s chess video annotations.

Chess Network page is run by a chess enthusiast, self-taught National Master Jerry who plays chess for 25 years. No he isn’t 50 or 40. He is 33 year old.

Chess on facebook #4. Magnus Carlsen

Likes: 168k

There are many fake pages of the world’s number one chess player on Facebook, but this one is verified and genuine. During the World Chess Championship Match against Anand, Carlsen’s page exploded from 44k likes to 168k in just under 10 days. Who said chess is not a spectator’s sport after all? There is a lot you can learn from the best players in chess. But Magnus Carlsen is not simply the best. He is the best among the best. On his page Carlsen talks about his life, chess, recent photo shots, won blitz games against his friends [video] (he calls them ‘weak’ and ‘slow’ even though they’re like 2600 rated..) When Magnus Carlsen is busy winning chess tournaments he doesn’t update the page frequently and the job goes to Team MC. Anyways, definitely a must to check out page for anyone who loves chess.

That’s a very good compilation of social media chess pages. I especially liked Carlsen’s page for his personal images and thoughtful messages. I didn’t know Mr, Kasparov was on facebook. I always stumbled upon fake pages, but you should us the real one.

Personally I would add a few more good pages:

ChessInformant: https://www.facebook.com/ChessInformant

ChessVibes
https://www.facebook.com/chessvibes
