Chess Today is the first daily electronic newspaper on chess. GM Alexander Baburin started it in November 2000 and currently Chess Today has two editors and five journalists: IM Vladimir Barsky, IM Maxim Notkin, GM Ruslan Scherbakov, GM Mikhail Golubev and GM Alexander Baburin. Chess Today has readers all around the world - in USA, Canada, Australia, Asia and in most European countries. The paper (3-4 pages on average) is delivered via e-mail in PDF, PGN and CBV formats. Currently Yahoo hosts its mailing list. Almost every issue has one well-annotated game and 1-2 tactical puzzles, as well as latest chess news. Some Chess Today issues contain instructional materials, book review, interviews and cartoons. Players rated 1500+, who are serious about chess, will benefit from the paper most.
