Since 1881.
Founded in 1881 by John Watkinson, from humble origins in Yorkshire, British Chess Magazine has long been regarded as British chess royalty.
British Chess Royalty
Queen Elizabeth II was pleased to have a chess problem dedicated to her in BCM on the occasion of her wedding in 1948, and we understand that BCM may even have been read by Queen Victoria (known to be a keen chess player). With our two longest serving monarchs, BCM readers are in great company!
A touch of glamour!
Forget about skimming the surface. Throughout we have deep authoritative analysis by leading GM and IM chess professionals. BCM's goal is to entertain, inform and offer the best in high-class chess insight, stories and research. And a touch of glamour as well!
