Chess report
Schach-Report was a monthly German chess magazine .
The foundation
The Schach-Report was founded in 1975 with the intention of reporting more on the German Chess League. For this purpose, the Bamberg Bundesliga players Rudi Treppner and Paul Radic founded Hollfeld-Verlag, which published the chess report .
editorial staff
The editor-in-chief was Günter Lossa. Furthermore, Gerd Treppner (until August 1991) and Hans-Günter Kestler worked with us in the early years . Until the end of the independent paper at the end of 1996, Karl-Heinz Hein, most recently responsible for the results of the regional associations, and Alfred Diel , responsible for national leagues and regional events, were members of the editorial team. From April 1989 to August 1991 Peter Rosner was responsible for the article series. In mid-1991 Erwin Dietel was part of the editorial team for a short time. From August 1991 Stefan Bücker worked as an editor. From August 1993 Bücker was in charge of the service and responsible for national events, before he took over the editor-in-chief from Lossa for a short time from August 1996.
Takeovers and end of self-employment
Joachim Beyer (* 1931) and his publishing house of the same name had been responsible for the chess report since 1986 . In the following year (1987) the magazine Deutsche Schachblätter was taken over by the Bavarian Chess Federation and integrated into the chess report . Since 1909, with several interruptions, a chess magazine had been published under the name “Deutsche Schachblätter”. With the January 1989 issue, the traditional German chess newspaper was also taken over from the Walter de Gruyter publishing house . From May 1991 the chess mirror was added.
At the end of 1996, the Schach-Report fell victim to the concentration process on the magazine market and was absorbed by the former GDR magazine Schach .
