In the July BCM we look at the place of classical chess in a faster age and what that means for the players.

Also: Pragg’s Norway Chess triumph, Duchamp’s chess & art, Harry Grieve’s GM title, tribute to Jimmy Adams, and the usual Problem World, Quotes & Endgame Studies.

[Milan Dinic @MilanDinic1]

For the first time in eight years, FIDE is guaranteed to have a new president. Three strong candidates and three well-funded campaigns.

It is natural to focus on personalities, but I hope this campaign becomes a genuine debate about the future of chess.
