Chess Life
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chess Life is the official publication of the United States Chess Federation (USCF), and reaches more than a quarter of a million readers every month. A subscription to this leading chess magazine is one of the benefits of Full Adult, Youth, or Life membership in the USCF. Scholastic members receive Chess Life bi-monthly.
The United States Chess Federation was incorporated on December 27, 1939. In the early years, it had no office and no publication. In 1945 and 1946, USCF Annual books were published. In 1946, publication of Chess Life started as a bi-weekly newspaper, usually 8 or 12 pages long. In 1960, Frank Brady converted Chess Life to a slick-covered magazine. In 1969, Chess Life merged with Chess Review, the other leading U.S. chess magazine. The magazine was published under the title Chess Life & Review until 1980 when it returned to the name Chess Life.
