Schach-Echo was a bi-monthly German chess magazine that was discontinued in 1992 after the 49th year in 1991.
The chess echo was founded in 1932 as an organ for the entire chess life in Catholic clubs . From January 1942 it appeared as a specialist organ of the KdF chess community , but was discontinued in 1943 due to the war .
From 1953, the chess echo began to appear again, the 1954 vintage received the same number 12 as the 1943.
Otto Katzer (* 1899; † 1975) was the founder and long-time editor. He succeeded in engaging numerous top-class employees, including Max Euwe , Salo Flohr , Paul Keres , Luděk Pachman , Hans Müller , Lothar Schmid , Wolfgang Unzicker , Ludwig Rellstab and Theo Schuster . In addition to reports on tournaments, the magazine also contained articles on opening theory and a section on chess composition .
