DESCRIPTION

"CHESS CIRCUIT" 1993-1995

COMPLETE RUN!!!

Very rare, scarce and very hard to find

 

Raoof, Adam (Ed.): "CHESS CIRCUIT". The Weekend Tournament Magazine. Numbers 1 (October 1993) - 13 (December 1995). 

London, self-published, 1993-1995. Original stapled softback edition in 13 individual issues. 28 + 28 + 32 + 32 + 36 + 32 + 32 + 40 + 40 + 40 + 36 + 40 + 36 pages (individual pagination, and covers included in it). In total 452 pages. 21,2 x 14,5 cm. In English.

 

Excellent: No defect worth mentioning. Only a slight wrinkle, most visible in the lower outer corner of the front cover of issue 1/95 (number 8). On page 3 of issue 3 there is pasted a post-it (can be easily removed) with some notes from the Editor to Paul, the former owner of this set. Excellent general condition.

 

Di Felice 524.

 

VERY RARE and EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND!!

 

Editor's Comments:

 

"The magazine, subtitled The Weekend Tournament Magazine, was aimed at club players who spent their weekends trawling the country, taking part in one day rapidplays and weekend tournaments (remember those?). We had some fantastic articles by well-known players - and some players who were later to become very well known such as the Ginger GM Simon Williams!

 

The first issue was October 1993, (covering the launch of the 4NCL founded by Chris Dunworth) and we published a new magazine every month, more or less.

 

Eventually (as people recognised my talents) I received a job offer I couldn’t refuse, from GM Murray Chandler at the excellent British Chess Magazine, and I put the publication of the magazine aside to edit and write for BCM for a few years.

 

Our final issue of the analogue Chess Circuit was number 13, in June 1995."

 

Interestingly, this last comment is totally wrong. It is true that the last issue published was 6/95 (number 13), and perhaps 6 misled, subconsciously, the Editor himself. The magazine was bimonthly, and in issue 6/95 there are reports and commented games of Tournaments in September, October and November 1995.
