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 . Working in asso-
