Colorado Springs
Chess Newsletter The newsletter began on March 1, 2004 as a way for me to receive and distribute any last minute schedule changes about local chess events and to put to use the analysis and publishing features of my Fritz 8. However, I soon realized that I liked reporting on the results of my local club and adding some humorous comments about the games I was publishing. So, during my chess season (typically February to August) the newsletter will contain at least a couple of articles from me (This Week In Chess and Game Of The Week). Every now and then, I will receive chess news, chess games, or other chess stuff from my readers, which I am more than happy to include, as I think it makes for a better newsletter. It doesn’t matter where you are from or what the news is about (as long as it is about chess); you are welcome to contribute. (If your info is sent correctly, you will be taken to the newsletter archive.) |

How To Find Things
In Past Newsletters If you are interested in finding something in a past newsletter, the search feature can help. You can use lower case, and the search engine will locate both upper and lower case instances. You can use double quotes to search for an exact phrase, AND to narrow your search, OR to expand your search, or NOT to exclude pages that are not relevant. Since the links to the click-and-move chess games are only found in the newsletters, the search feature is the easiest way to locate specific openings, specific players, or specific topics you like and see if the items have ever appeared in any of the past newsletters. |
