I am not 100% sure. To chronicle my rise to greatness? To have a forum in which I might publish my amazingly brilliant blitz chess wins earned at various chess servers?
I do intend to post some cute games from time to time that I win in sleazy, cheapo-filled style. What else is the point of blitz but to catch your hapless foe with some ridiculous shot from a busted position?!
But mainly, I am planning on this basically being part of my chess diary. I plan on posting my thoughts on things such as chess books I am studying (maybe or maybe not being so formal as to become a "review"), games I have studied that made an impression on me, cute combos and studies I have come across, etc.
And of course my games from serious events. Botvinnik said an excellent training tool is to examine and annotate one's games as if they were to be published. With the modern tools of databases and playing engines, all a chess hacker must do now to "annotate" a game is to click a few buttons in a program or two! Sure, Rybka will "see" much more than I would, but that does not exactly help my chess! So I shall present games here, with my thoughts both on the particular moves played, and how I feel about my progress in general.
I made a brief Google search for "chess blogs" earlier today, and I found a few interesting ones. Some by strong players, some by weak players, some dedicated to news on the chess world, some dedicated to news in one town. I am not concerned with competing, nor even complementing, them, I am just a player who is going to put some of my thoughts and experiences about and in chess on the web. I doubt my hits to this page will ever reach alarge number, and that's cool. This is for me as much as anyone else.
