Looking to the future<br />
GREETINGS to our new subscribers and<br />
welcome back to those of you who have<br />
already renewed your subscriptions. If<br />
you have been slow to react, we offer a reminder<br />
that this is the last issue you will receive if you<br />
don’t do something about it quickly!<br />
It is some source of amazement to us that,<br />
almost five years after the <strong>Chess</strong> <strong>Mail</strong> concept<br />
was devised, we are still mailing out a printed<br />
magazine instead of distributing it wholly via<br />
the Internet and/or CD. No final decision has<br />
been taken but I have serious doubts that there<br />
will be a printed/posted <strong>Chess</strong> <strong>Mail</strong> after 2001<br />
or at latest 2002.<br />
In 1996 we already foresaw Adobe’s Acrobat<br />
PDF electronic file format as the way of the future<br />
as it allows the distant reader of a document<br />
to view and print out exactly what its creator<br />
intended. Now PDF is being increasingly used<br />
in chess publishing as it gets around the figurine<br />
font/diagram issues that plague webmasters<br />
writing chess websites in HTML. If you like a<br />
printed magazine to read in bed, at the fireside or<br />
on journeys, PDF makes this possible.<br />
As for magazine content this year, we have<br />
heard a plea to include less historical material<br />
and more recent games. This issue is indeed<br />
largely filled with news and games, and our next<br />
issue will focus on Internet and computer issues,<br />
including reviews of electronic books and our<br />
annual survey of the best chess websites.<br />
We always send the new issue out some weeks<br />
before the end of the old year, hoping to avoid<br />
the most difficult weeks with the postal service<br />
(late December and early January), because<br />
of the long time-lags involved in worldwide<br />
distribution. So, for those of you who receive this<br />
issue in time, we wish you a Merry Christmas and<br />
a Happy New Year.<br />
Tim Harding (Editor)<br />
