Somebody on teamliquid.net made an article on the history of chess and Starcraft: BroodWar. While is not my own work, but this piece deserves to be spread for people to read. The author compares era's of chess with differing era's of BW progaming.

A really good eye opener to the world of BroodWar progaming and the world of Chess.
