British Chess Magazine July 2024 Retour à l'édition précédente

The July issue of BCM brings you a fascinating story about Rhoda A. Bowles – the chess queen of the early 1900s. In more contemporary news – BCM looks at whether Ding Liren
will defend his title and what Hikaru Nakamura (who is likely to replace Ding if he quits) had to say about this. As 20 th July is International Chess Day, Adam Smith traces the history of
FIDE to that momentous event 100 years ago when the international chess community came together to form its own governing body. IM Shaun Taulbut reports on the English
Championships and takes a look at some of the games of English players from the recent European Senior Championships, while GM Alex Colovic reports on Norway Chess where Carlsen shined and Ding disappointed. Across the pond, the Cairns Cup brought some novelties in women’s chess, including a new initiative to support female chess players in the US – Colovic reports. For those looking for concrete ways to improve their game – take a look at Pete Tamburro’s Openings for Amateurs column, Ian Watson brings new endgame studies and Chris Jones takes us through some stunning chess problems.

BCM – all the chess you need to enjoy the game!
