Chess Magazine Is Published
The life of Paul Morphy and Bobby Fischer's selection of the 10 greatest chess masters in history are two of the highlights in Chessworld, a new publication.
The high-level of interest in chess being displayed lately in the Twin-County Area should make Chessworld popular in many local homes.
Featured in the first issue of the new bi-monthly magazine is the life story about Morphy, the 19th Century master who was America's only world champion. Included are two Morphy games presented to the public for the first time.
Fischer, who may well rate among the world's best according to Chessworld's editor, has omitted a couple of the masters at appear on most top 10 lists. He explains this by saying, “Just because a man was champion for many years does not necessarily mean he as a great player.”
Included in the initial issue is an article by Pal Benko, former U.S. open champ, on the pressure of having to move within an allotted time; an article on how the blind play chess; and an article on why the Russians constantly take top honors in international tournaments.
Frank Brady is editor and publisher of Chessworld which is published by Chessworld Magazine, Inc., 505 5th Ave., New York.
