GM Rainer Knaak wins the German 65+ championship

See our Seniors news page for more news of events for 50+ and 65+ players. Visit our senior tournament calendar for listings of tournaments for senior players later this year and in 2027.

Our database research

We continue to explore the career of Carl Schlechter and have many new findings, some of which we hope to post here later this summer. We intend to begin with the Hastings 1895 tournament (in which he played) because there are many problems about the record of that event which we are trying to resolve.

Please do not send us any money

Occasionally people send us money (which we immediately refund) for our correspondence chess database UltraCorr. That was withdrawn from sale over a year ago.
