Correspondence Chess Yearbook

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Correspondence Chess Yearbook (CCY) was a periodical for correspondence chess . It was created in 1991 in collaboration with the International Correspondence Chess Federation (ICCF) and - similar to the chess informator in local chess published in the 1960s - was devoted to international correspondence chess in three volumes per year. Games commented on in the informator style were supplemented by theoretical contributions. The volumes were between 220 (CCY 1) and 264 pages (CCY 15).

The initiative to start the Correspondence Chess Yearbook came from Italian correspondence chess players around Sergio Curtacci and Maurizio Tirabassi. The series started in 1991 in the publishing house s1 Editrice , Bologna . The editor of the first three editions was Massimo Gaiba, from volume 4 Maurizio Tirabassi took over the editing. Volume 15, published in May 1996, was the last issue.
