Rating of Internet Chess Resources
 
A small research of references in the chess part of the Internet has been made on 15 December 1999 with the aid of AltaVista index system that makes it technically possible to determine how many references to a particular page are found in the other indexed pages.
The search for references (links) was usually made for one main address of each site. The AltaVista function «Show one result per Web site» was permanently enabled. Thus, the number at each site name tells how many other (not only chess) sites (resources) contain references to the given site (resource). Several hundreds of chess resources was included to the initial list. The published list includes resources for which this index was at least 100 units.
The results can not be absolutely objective indicator of quality or popularity of this or that resource due to a number of evident reasons (e.g., 1. AltaVista does not include all Internet resources in its index but only its main portion. 2. AltaVista system is one of the best but not unique. The results would have been somewhat different with the other system. 3. Chess resources strategies as regards references and exchange of links with other resources, differ greatly. 4. Also, despite all efforts made, some of the popular resources might have escaped our attention when preparing the initial list).
So, our results are what they are.
