The first phase of installation of the Research Zone is now complete; a huge amount of new content has been added to this site in the past five days. More will be done with it when we have time. In the meantime reader feedback is welcomed.
| Articles | Bibliography | Rare columns | Correspondence chess |
| History links | Tim's books | Tim's research | Zukertort pages |
Having just negotiated a doubling of our file storage space, we can plan a new series of articles and images for later this summer, to incorporate outside contributors with well-researched articles are welcome. One has already been submitted and we hope to post later this month.
We intend to clean up and standardise the site gradually, and also add over the next weeks and months:
a) More reference information about chess columns and chess periodicals, especially relating to Tim's special field of 19th century British and Irish chess history. Several pages of well-researched information on chess magazines and columns have already been added. See the Bibliography link above.
b) Page images from several rare chess columns that Tim collected during, and after, his doctoral researches. The record of the Our School Times chess column is complete now.
c) Critical notes on chess-historical books, beginning with an appraisal of the new Di Felice book on Chess Periodicals.
d) Downloadable game files, beginning with a file of games by Irish amateur W. H. S. Monck, mostly by post but also including his games with Steinitz and Zukertort.
