The long awaited CFC online magazine is almost ready. We are starting the 10 day launch countdown today. That means we go online January 19, 2009 by midnight or sooner.

We have a growing list of contributors including:

Lawrence Day
Kevin Spraggett
Mark Bluvshtein
Nikolay Noritsyn

But you don’t need to be an elite player to contribute.

We are extending the welcome mat to all whose wish to contribute. You may wish to submit an annotated game you are proud of, write an article about your local chess club (shameless plugs to troll for new members are okay), tell us your ideas for improving chess in Canada, or a personal interest piece about one of the many hardworking chess volunteers across Canada.

Send your contributions to info@chess.ca. The more submissions we get from the regular members, the better we can tailor it to what you want to see. The emphasis will be on local Canadian content.

Watch this board for further details as we approach launch date.
