ISSN: 0007-0440.The October issue of BCM is dedicated to two major events in recent weeks: The death of a Queen and the birth of a scandal. GM Ray Keene shares his memories of meeting the late Queen Elisabeth II and her comments about chess. He also looks at the connection between chess and English royalty through history. The other main story is about a scandal. Chess is in the news in recent days but for the wrong reasons. In the October issue of BCM we focus on the Carlsen-Niemann scandal which has opened serious questions about cheating in chess. BCM’s GM Aleksandar Colovic takes a detailed look at the case, shows what FIDE rules and procedures stipulate and tries to get to the bottom of the polemic which has opened a can of worms in chess. For those looking to improve their play – we have openings advice, problems and endgame studies, as well as some reviews of books you may find interesting to read.
