Let’s make chess a lifestyle game that can be understood by everyone, yet without sacrificing either substance or quality. American Chess Magazine is receiving rave reviews around the world. It's a magazine, America, in its chess renaissance, deserves.

We concentrate on presenting educational articles that will have value not only today but years from now.
Call us old-fashioned. We simply believe that you need to feel the superior quality of the printed copy in your hands!
The criteria for inclusion of material is that it is original, topical and of sufficient quality to be considered for publication.
Outside the glare of the media spotlight, chess players now make up one of the largest communities in the world — 605 million adults play chess. *
Chess players and non-players alike rank chess significantly higher than any other game or sport for attributes such as intelligence, sophistication, strategy, perfection, and complexity.
Current chess players are better informed than those who either used to or never played chess: they are 5x more likely to read The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, or The New Yorker (in the U.S.).
Across varied national demographic profiles (US, UK, Germany, India), a surprisingly stable 70% of the adult population has played chess at some point during their lives. Even if they played as children but left it behind as they grew up, they still deeply admire the game.

Although chess has very low barriers to entry and is played across the socioeconomic spectrum, in the U.S. 78% of regular chess players are university graduates and among households with incomes over $120,000.
Despite their popular image as reclusive ascetics, chess players consume immoderately: in categories traditionally used to measure affluence (cars, watches, air travel, branded alcohol consumption, online purchasing), global research organization TGI (WPP) reports that chess players are 40-100% more likely to purchase a luxury item than a non-chess-player.

The best
Of all the chess magazines that I have seen in the past, ACM is by far the best. Ads are kept to a minimum so that more space is given to the articles. It does a fantastic job of providing the arm-chair enthusiast with a lot of pertinent info in the world of chess.
