... but thanks for the few kind words, Keith A. You can always reach me at the office, rather than via this forum, where I am very, VERY rarely ...

It's true that we used to have all the links in dropdowns at the top of the page, but far more people complained that these were too busy and too complex and that all the links should be visible than are complaining here, so I put them all in plain sight. However, as the one, the only webmaster, I a...

POSTED on behalf of Tim Clare (details below) - please contact him if you can help Dear Andrew Regarding our telephone conversation this afternoon about finding a chess partner to rekindle my game.

For me, clicking also doesn't work, and reloading didn't help either. I had to right-click and 'copy link' and paste the link into a browser. It then worked. The differences are interesting. Can you remember roughly which year that change took place, Andrew? From the older to the old? Roughly Octob...

Could someone preserve, somewhere, the old logo? Anyone can. Just go to the grading database website, right click the logo and save it on your computer. The 'old' logo was one that I built to replace the out-of-date original some years ago, largely unnoticed :D so I have saved it in large sizes and...

Dear all I have recently completed the invention of a strategy board game for two players and am now looking to test its prototype with an accomplished chess player. The game is suitable for home or tournament play. It can be played i...

Julie - you said --- 'Although it doesn't seem to have been put up on the ECF website yet, I understand this is (yet another) task that Gary Willson is handling at least for the time being' --- if you're referring to the proxy votes, notices of attendance etc. then, just as the last many and several...

Thank you Neil. I am a fairly low monkey on the tree, so the creation of a new Editor's position and the granting of an honorarium is way outside my sphere of influence. I have cut out and kept the other points you make in both your brief and your full critique, and if the YB survives another year (...

Hello Neil Was your list of editorial deficiencies communicated to the office, can you say, or to me in particular, whose task it is to compile the yearbook?
