A new chess history magazine?

[Anders Thulin]

Just got a surprise:

http://www.bcmchess.co.uk/reviews/bcmrev9909.html

at the very end: Quarterly for Chess History.
(For US readers, I also find it listed in Dale Brandreth's
PP-58-G1 list - item 11).

The description sounds very interesting ... has anyone seen it?

The BCM review says this was for 'Spring 1/1999' -- were there any other
issues? I searched AltaVista on '(Vlastimil NEAR Fiala) AND chess' &
came up with a few references to book reviews. One ref had an email
address for Dr. Fiala & a further link to...

http://www.moravian-chess.cz/

...which so far gives only 'Broken pipe' error messages. I'll try the
email address. - Mark

Received a nice message which I'll share here...

Dear Mr. Weeks,

thank you very much for your interest in our chess historian
publications. I am sorry but realy my website does not work. I must
contact my computer company which is responsible for my pages.

Quarterly for Chess History
I published two issues, last one has 564pp, it was reviewed in last
issue of British Chess Magazine, and will be reviewed also in New in
Chess. The price is USD 29.00 for copy

For your information we are publishing also serials of old journals as
American Chess Bulletin, American Chess Magazine, International Chess
Magazine, Capablanca Magazine, Laskers' Chess Magazine, The Chess
Monthly (Morphy), The Chess Monthly (Zukertort), Brooklyn Chess
Chronicle, etc.

We published also Complete Games of Alekhine (yet three volumes
1892-1921, 1921-1924, 1925-1927, Cologne 1898 and now we started
Botvinnik's Best Games Vol.1 1924-1942 (translated from Russian by Mr.
Ken Neat, second volume is forthcoming).

Best regards
Vlastimil Fiala

...I've bookmarked the site address & will try from time to time to see
if comes back online.

... I didn't expect it to be Moravian Chess
publishing house that published these, but somehow I'm
not surprised.

Thanks!

An Alta Vista search on "Moravian Chess" returned '30 pages found'. Most
of the pages have ordering information for the various publications. The
page...

http://www.chessmail.com/books/elburg12.html

...('Latest Bookreviews of John Elburg') also has contact information
for the publisher and about a half dozen reviews of published works.
Many of the journals mentioned by Dr. Viala in his message are covered.
