The successor should be New York based, so not Seirawan. I don't know
if this is Kamsky's kind of gig, or if his English is good enough to
write a regular column without a lot of grammar errors. I'd worry if
a non-chessplaying editor had to make too many corrections, since that
could introduce chess errors.
If it's ok for a candidate to have less than perfect English, then
Susan Polgar should also be considered; she's a good writer with about
the widest imaginable range of chess contacts and a lot of publishing
experience, and a track record of cranking out daily chess writing (on
her blog) for a fairly long time now. And she might be more willing
to accept the job than one of the really top-flight GM's, and she'd
draw more readers to the column than just about anyone else. However,
she apparently might run for president of FIDE, which might create a
conflict.
