American Chess Magazine has been launched to help American readers keep in touch with all the most significant happenings in the exciting world of present day chess, both at home and abroad. American Chess Magazine aims to present chess in all its beauty. While entertaining in typical magazine style, it is essentially focused on the educational aspect. Our authors are either highly respected grandmasters or experts with a strong reputation in their field of chess expertise. We are rejecting the usual boundaries between top, local or youth chess. The idea of a “chess magazine as it is meant to be” is that every theme that holds the internal spirit of chess is worthy of our attention. While the ACM relies on many American authors and keeps the special interest in American players and themes of significance for US chess, it also brings a great amount of content that is of truly international value.
