Dear Readers,

Spring has at long last sprung here in Massachusetts, and with it I bring you the year’s first Chess Horizons, headlined by a new voice for many current readers in the sometimesinactive FM Jacob Chudnovsky, and a returning one in the young Mika Brittain, who will be departing for university in the Midwest in a few months. I’ve also included a tribute to the late Harold Dondis, who passed shortly before the last issue’s publication. There unfortunately was not as much room for the quantity of assorted games as we have had in some recent issues, but the quality remains in these bouts between the Bay State’s best. As always, enjoy!
