Dear Readers,

As some of you may have read in the previous edition, this printed run of a Chess Horizons will soon be at an end. Following this issue, only one more – our 50th Anniversary Spectacular – remains, and we hope that we’ve saved some of the best for last. Newly crowned New England IMs, the return of a Cambridge chess institution, and a spectacular game by GM Alexander Ivanov are just some of the goodies waiting to be devoured in this 48-page tome.

I wish I could say that the emotions of parting with CH were at the root of this egregious delay, but I have no such excuse. It took far too long, so without any further ado, I give you the penultimate Chess Horizons. Enjoy.

- Nathan Smolensky, Editor
