Hello, I’m Jeff Sonas and I’d like to welcome you to my new and improved Chessmetrics site. This website is devoted to statistics about chess. Since the summer of 1999, I have spent countless hours analyzing chess statistics, inventing formulas and other analysis techniques, and calculating historical ratings. This website allows you to explore chess history “by the numbers” in an interactive way.

Two, so you the readers will have content that is not found on other chess sites. Follow the link to the left to reach my annotated games against grandmasters.” FM Shakmaty Bereolos Blogsite
