The name change merely recognizes the reality of the situation. I don't expect a huge change in direction from them, in terms of the material that will be covered. If it was solely work on chess being published, a name change wouldn't be appropriate. You can see for yourself by thumbing through back issues that material on other traditional games (e.g. checkers, othello) is also there, and even new games (e.g. Amazon). >To be honest I'm not sure I'm going to resubscribe (which is >too bad since I have ALL the old issues). That would be unfortunate. I expect it to still be a major reference source for computer chess articles. >--Tom Dave
