QT: Chess via @DavidP I do NOT often get requests, but in this case I did. Now, at least in the olden days you could subscribe to Chess magazines. I remember in Germany the "Deutsche Schachzeitung". But ... believe it or not ... there are still magazines out there even today! Here are some for you to choose from.
