Our seniors news and calendar pages now updated
Visit our senior tournament calendar for listings of tournaments for senior players later this year and in 2027. Acqui Terme was the venue for the 2026 European Seniors and we cover the event on our Seniors news page.
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 during the 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 send us no money
Occasionally people send us money (which we immediately refund) for our correspondence chess database UltraCorr. This was withdrawn from sale over a year ago.
