    OK, So it's January and there is no hint of the "new improved" online magazine. If it's going to be delayed then fine. Let us know.

    Hi Rick:

    On the CFC Chess Forum yesterday, Jan. 6, ED Bob Gillanders said in a post that CFC is " currently focused on achieving 3 goals,

    1. .............
    2. Giving birth to the webzine
    3. ............... "

    So, in Bob's words, they are still " focused " on the on-line Chess Canada . But he didn't give any clear date.

    Bob

            In your case, Gary, shouldn't that read: the check is in the mail? :)

              Yes, it should. :)

              I think the American spelling for cheque is check. Our CC publication is called Check! and comes in the mail 4 times a year.

                Isn't the point that the check or cheque is not in the mail, its online? :):):)

                    The development of the online magazine is coming along nicely. Bob is busy with the shutting down of the condo - closing date is Jan.15 - but will soon announce the webzine's birth date.

                      Hi David:

                      Bob gave a target date on CFC Chess Forum of January 19 or earlier:

                      01-09-2009, 01:15 PM
                      Bob Gillanders
                      CFC Executive Director

                      Chess Canada Webzine

                      The long awaited CFC online magazine is almost ready. We are starting the 10 day launch countdown today. That means we go online January 19, 2009 by midnight or sooner.

                        How long does it take to do a magazine? It's gotten to be like a running joke and the format calls for one issue every 3 months.

                        The Condo sale won't help chess or recruitment one way or the other, in my view. I had been hoping they would come out of this with their own online server and a plan for using it to run separately rated events to supplement the face to face events (not to replace them) and recruitment. Some events free with membership and some pay as you play. Online seems to be the way chess is going. Even the CCCA has implemented server events on the ICCF server as the result of an agreement with them.

                        I could be wrong but it looks to me like the online servers are eating the CFC's lunch. They are here and they are now.
