![]() The first comprises three types of publications: magazines, i.e., commercial periodicals identified by issue number and/or date of publication bulletins, i.e., periodicals published by various organizations, also identified by issue number and/or date and newsletters, i.e., letters or reports that are circulated periodically, identified by date. ![]() Information about each item’s availability in the major chess libraries of the world is included when possible. For each periodical listed, information is given about the time period, the language, and the country of publication (which may be especially useful for the historian), the topics covered (which can be singled out for particular purposes), and whatever further data are accessible about sponsoring organizations, publishing companies, issue numbers, frequency, and so on. General Plan of the Work The contents of this book can be used by the reader in multiple ways. The list includes magazines, bulletins, newsletters, yearbooks, handbooks, almanacs, calendars, and other types of printed material published In contrast, my work aims to provide a record of the chess periodicals published around the world since 1836 (starting with the first issue of the Parisian Le Palamède, the first magazine devoted exclusively to chess) through 2008. The various bibliographies that have been published thus far are for the most part general in scope, and cover works written in a given language or in a given country. The leading periodicals usually cover all these fields, and are the product of a collective effort by numerous experts (players, problemists, historians, and others) to collect myriad detailed data, news, and ideas over the years. Focussing at first only on those publications most relevant to the task at hand, before long it occurred to me that I might do a service for researchers in other areas of chess such as theory, studies, problems, correspondence, and history in general. During my archival research, I realized that periodicals were the main sources to which one could refer for information on chess competitions, and that no comprehensive international list of these periodicals existed. ![]() ![]() The original idea for it was borne out of my work on the Chess Results series. This book aims to fill a gap in the existing chess literature, namely in the field of periodicals.
