  • CFC newsletter

    The latest CFC Newsletter arrived today (June?) - with announcements for tournaments which took place as long ago as late August. Wouldn't it have been appropriate to remove those announcements at the last minute before sending it out?

    I've never received a CFC Newsletter (I probably have to register somehow) but shouldn't a June newsletter come out in June or is this normal?

      Yes. This is unfortunate. For lack of a better word let's say that there were logistical problems after John finished with the issue and sent it to the CFC office in August; and our subsequently getting it out to the masses. I would expect the next issue out in a couple of weeks.

        Jonathan. If you are a CFC member, send your e-mail address to info@chess.ca and you'll start getting the newsletter.

          Wouldn't it be simpler to send smoke signals to announce a tournament?

            Reminds me of the final years of Canadian Chess Chat where issues arrived so long after their date that someone looking now at old editions might wonder how a tournament played in October managed to get reported in June of the same year.

              At one point, "chess Chat" simply skipped a year. The November-December 1972 issue reports (among others) the results of the Ottawa Open of March 24-25, 1973 (I tied for 3rd!). The next issue was dated January-February, 1974.

                  The CFC must keep with deadlines - an issue every month.

                    Didn't MAD magazine deliberately date their issues for the following month so it would never be late?!

                      Or change the deadlines and go to 6 issues a year, or at least 10 with a break in the summer and winter.

                      Recent issues are HUGE and could easily have been cut in half.

                        I just noticed that out of 35 annotated games only 2 don't include the opening. Is this a new policy to protect the players' opening preparation?

                          The best solution would be what I should have done with Chess Canada in the early 70's >>>>>>
                          Instead of labeling each issue by the month, simply number them : 2015 - #1, #2, #3 etc for however many you put out by year's end. Then the next year start with 2016 - #1, #2, #3 etc

                            Hi Kerry:

                            A lot of magazines deliberately dated their issues for the month after the issue was likely to hit newsstands. A lot of outlets would pull the "old" issue as soon as the month-end occurred.
