* A list of most wanted articles, based on a redlink count in chess articles can be found at '''[[Wikipedia:CHESS/Most_Wanted]]'''.

* [[Chess.com Global Championship]], So, Nakamura, Giri, Nihal... played in it, 200,000$ for the winner [https://www.chess.com/news/view/2022-chesscom-global-championship-final-d2]

* [[Speed Chess Championship]] by chess.com, Magnus Carlsen, among other top players, played in it so I guess it's a respected competition

*Players who appeared in the top 100 FIDE list since 2000 with a rating of at least 2600: 
**A [[stencil]] for creating chess player articles can be found '''[[User:Arbitrarily0/Stencils/Chess/Player|here]]'''.

*Other strong players who don't have articles, e.g. [[Jorge Sammour-Hasbun]]. See also [[List of chess grandmasters]] – over 500 grandmasters lack articles on the English Wikipedia although many have Wikipedia articles in other languages.

*Leading women players – see [[List of female chess players]] for current lists of women with the Grandmaster title or the International Master title; recent additions to these lists may not already have articles.

*Other important women players present and past – many are World Championship candidates, multiple national champions, etc. - for example, [[Vera Obermuller]] | [[Monika Seps]].

*We need an article on (dedicated) chess computers. Only the article on [[computer chess]] briefly mentions them, but the topic definitely deserves to have its own article (history, most important brands, etc.). There is a lot to say here. A good collection of links can be found at [http://www.chesscomputers.org/ www.chesscomputers.org].

* We need to cover [[Chess World Cup 1982]], held in Hamburg and televised, as well as [[Chess World Cup 1988]] (the GMA/Kavalek organised 1988-1989 series of events, and the subsequent botched attempt in 1991-1992). The book ''World Cup Chess'' by Kavalek gives a complete account of the 1988-1989 series. The Chess World Cup was a FIDE event in 1982, a GMA event in 1988-89, then again in 1991-92 (but abandoned), returned to being a FIDE event in 2000 and this is where our article [[Chess World Cup]] picks up the trail. Articles should perhaps be retitled to reflect the FIDE/GMA distinctions.

*The [[Grandmasters Association]] or 'GMA' was the organising body of the World Cup events mentioned above. The Exec. Director was [[Lubomir Kavalek]] - the GMA is now defunct. The history of PCA and GMA can be found [http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=253 here]

*Chess magazines: [[List of chess periodicals]] has many red links:<br />[[American Chess Journal]] | [[Baltische Schachblaetter]] | [[Brüderschaft Deutsches Wochenschach]] | [[Chess Express]] | [[Columbia Chess Chronicle]] | [[Computerschach und Spiele]] | [[Der Schachfreund]] | [[Le Courrier des Échecs]] | [[L'Italia Scacchistica]] | [[Messaggero Scacchi]] | [[Northwest Chess]] | [[Panorama Szachowa]] | [[Peón de rey]] | [[Probleemblad]] | [[Schaak Magazine]] | ''{{ill|Schach (magazine)|lt=Schach|de|Schach (Zeitschrift)}}'' | [[Schach-Magazin 64]] | [[StrateGems]] | [[Schweizerische Schachzeitung]] | [[Tidsskrift for Skak]] | [[The London Chess Fortnightly]] | [[The Philidorian]] | [[Torre & Cavallo Scacco!]].

* Years in chess (see [[:Category:Chess by year]]) before 1987 which don't have articles like [[1985 in chess]], [[1984 in chess]], etc.

* Chess articles found on [[/Inter Language|other language Wikis]] which could be translated into English.

*Mikhail Chigorin Club, one exists on the Russian wikipedia, should be translated

* [[Richard Eales]].  A noted chess historian, he wrote ''Chess: The History of a Game'' (1985) and has been Head of History of Kent in Canterbury.  Gaige says he is Richard Geoffrey Eales born in 1949.  Tied for second in the 1970 British Championship, played for England.  Olimpbase has in in the [http://www.olimpbase.org/playersc/y40smyan.html 1976 European Men's Chess Club Cup] and the [http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessplayer?pid=48296 Richard G Eales page on chessgames.com] has more details.

* [[Student World Team Chess Championship]] (aka Student Olympiad) had 22 editions from 1954 to 1977.[http://www.olimpbase.org/index.html?http%3A%2F%2Fwww.olimpbase.org%2Fyouth%2Ffisu_results.html]  We might be able to cover the brief history of the poorly conceived U26 Team Championship and the even briefer history of the U20 Team Championship on the same page.  http://www.olimpbase.org has some information.

*Several articles related to [[chess composition]], such as:
**[[Problem (chess magazine)]], started in 1951 by Nenad Petrović it was official journal of FIDE-PCCC(Permanent Commission of the FIDE for Chess Compositions)
**[[World Congress of Chess Composition]], first one was held in Piran in 1958., since then organized yearly; 
**[[Codex of Chess Composition]] or [[Codex for Chess Composition]], first one was introduced at 1958 [[World Congress of Chess Composition]]; it is a set of rules concerning "problem chess" (for composition, solving, publication); one of the foundations of chess composition
** [[Theme (chess)]], e.g., [[100$ theme]], [[Oudot theme]] - themes in helpmates.
** [[Phoenix task (chess composition)]] - one of the task classes in composition chess
**[[Chess circulation]] or [[Chess edition]] or [[Chess printing]] (croatian: Šahovska naklada), publishing company established in 1945, published more than 200 chess books and first 14 FIDE albums

*An article on [https://www.chessvariants.com/multiplayer.dir/stupidhouse.html Stupidhouse], a [[Bughouse chess|bughouse]]-like variant.
