But only 10 or 20 people read them. But a man wrote about his day in China and published it on this &amp;quot;chess playing&amp;quot; platform Lichess and got to many views. I wrote my games, techniques, the gambits has brilliants. But they only viewed 10-30 people in 2-3 days. But other people wrote informations about openings or middlegames, I wrote them to but why I got less views than the others. The subject is the same, but people don't read my blogs. Do I need to be a high-rated player for my blogs to get reads?
