Reinventing Chess Structure
believe to be the first ever digital only magazine written for young chess players who wish to progress to the level of a strong club player.
The concept behind Junior BCM is simple. Our new magazine will be akin to a personal chess coach to help improve readers’ play anytime anywhere online via a desktop, laptop, iPad or other handheld. We have also worked hard to make Junior BCM fun and easy to read for young players with a distinctive and eye-catching look in full colour. Junior BCM will appear every two months and will be packed with instructive games, opening theory, examples of practical play and coverage of junior chess events.
We are honoured that David Levens is the Editor of Junior BCM. David is a long established and hugely respected junior chess coach and writes extensively about chess for young players. In his prime he was one England’ s leading players, took part in several British Championships and tied for first place in the Nottinghamshire County championship on two occasions. He has notched up wins against several England international players and masters and has won many splendidly attacking Best Game prizes. David currently holds many influential positions in the chess world – he is a selector for the England junior chess teams, Director of Junior Chess for the Midlands Counties Chess Union, and has recently been appointed Manager of Coaches for the English Chess Federation. In May this year he was one of the coaches( alongside a number of GMs and IMs) supporting the English junior teams at the prestigious World Schools Individual Championships in Athens( see his report in the July 2013 issue of BCM – Ed). David has coached hundreds of young players many of whom have played in national junior chess teams for England, and he is still a strong and active player. We are delighted that together with David we have made Junior BCM a digital reality. From October 2013 Junior BCM will be available literally around the globe by using the latest digital technology.
