September Northwest Chess online color edition released

Photo taken by Jeff Roland at the 2012 U.S. Open in Vancouver, WA, a re-shoot of a well known image of Viktors Pupols (standing) and Yasser Seirawan (sitting) originally snapped in 1974.

As announced earlier this month, the publishers of Northwest Chess magazine have approved the online availability of back issues of color versions of the magazine with approximately a three month delay from release date. The capability of producing color .pdf versions of the magazine originated with the introduction of new software last August.

The September 2012 issue was the second of four issues during my tenure as Editor.

September 2012 Issue of Northwest Chess

Summary: 32-page issue with "U.S. Open Games & Photos," Idaho chess news, "Rupel vs. Pupols: 2012 OR Senior," Washington chess news, "Oregon News: Raptis vs. Eagles," and a Dr. Ralph Hall Memorial Northwest Grand Prix report.
