There is no reason why a chess magazine couldn’t be equally good as any mainstream golf or tennis magazine. We have been receiving rave reviews around the world for our bi-monthly that has 100 pages (or 156 with combined issues) of chess each issue the way chess fans want to read it. Our issues won numerous awards from the Chess Journalists of America.
We concentrate on presenting educational articles that will have value not only today but years from now.

American Chess Magazine #18 boasts a cover of supermodel Bo Krsmanovic, an avid chess player!
"I ordered the premier issue and eagerly awaited its arrival. I was expecting quite a lot from it, but I still was completely blown away by how good it really was."
Your non-chess playing friends would pick it up and say:
It’s like getting a book of instruction, news, and close-ups every second month — one you would be proud to casually lay out on your coffee table. Treat yourself to quality.
We are devoted to chess in America without forgetting what’s going on in the chess world at large. We cover national events and encourage reporting on chess in individual states. We do in-depth interviews, behind the scenes reporting and have great grandmasters writing notes that actually explain what’s going on.
No.3/2020 | American Chess Magazine #18
"Wanting to support American Chess, I took the leap of faith and subscribed. And I am so glad I did! This is the finest chess magazine I have ever held in my hands and I am 70 years old!"
Take a look for yourself in these pages: Joel Benjamin’s “Musings of an American Grandmaster” takes chess commentary to a GM level! Get almost personal coaching from Ivanchuk as he takes you through a game. Fishbein’s endgame columns have already received wide notice. Our Olympiad coverage went 57 pages (!!) in bringing you a whole staff of writers to do justice to the American championship team.
Our authors are world-class players – champions – but, above all, grandmasters and experts who are excited to share their knowledge within the chess community. No ghost-writers or “special” contributors, only fully committed authors, proud of their hard work. The job of our team of experienced international editors is merely to create a supportive environment where the work of our chess heroes can shine in full splendor.

"Cover to cover, my favorite chess publication. It has everything I want to see and the physical quality of each page is outstanding; great pictures that just jump of the page, print that doesn't come off on your fingers, and pages that don't stick together."
You may be happy just to remain a keen chess enthusiast who loves the mental challenge that chess provides. Because of your busy working schedule you cannot afford the time it takes to surf the internet in search of accurate and reliable information on current tournament play and latest chess trends.
So why not take it easy, sit down, relax and enjoy chess at your own pace in the comfort of your own home by reading our bi-monthly publication. Reviewing the state of world chess every second month is a reasonable period of time to stay tuned to your beloved game, and without adversely impacting on your obligations to your professional work and family.
Perhaps you are a chess coach. If so, you will need to have at your fingertips up-to-date and top-notch material for everyday training, so that you can provide your students with the best possible opportunities for advancement. You may not be aware that the ACMs are packed with a wide variety of educational articles supported by games thoroughly annotated in words!
Actually, any column in American Chess Magazine can be used as a lesson, or indeed many lessons. Our contributors write with heart and soul and do not cheat their readers by artificially lowering the level of their work just to appeal to the widest possible audience.
If you’re an active, titled or expert player, then you are almost certainly looking for chess material that will give you the edge over your opponent in your next club or tournament game. Well, please be assured that each and every ACM is made up of articles written by your brothers-in-arms! These are not only famous grandmasters but also personalities who are highly respected in professional circles.
Here, delivered with honesty and integrity, you will find original ideas and instructive analysis and commentaries, eminently useful for practical play. And this claim is not intended as hyped-up commercial advertisement but merely as a statement of fact, silently endorsed by the number of very strong players who are included among our subscribers.
Maybe you are a parent of an enthusiastic chess-playing boy or girl and want to provide them with self-study material to nurture their talent to the full and beyond any artificial constraints that may have been unjustly placed upon them!
Youngsters should be given the chance to embrace the winning chess techniques and ways of thinking of those who have already tried and tested them successfully in high class competition – and this is what we aim to provide. Indeed, everything in the American Chess Magazine is presented with the learning curve in mind.
We’re happy to announce an increase in the publishing schedule of the ACM from quarterly to bi-monthly. Issue #10, the first one in 2019, effectively marks a new series of six-issues-per-year! This will enable us to be more topical when reporting on events as well as to focus on high energy and maximum impact articles.
I love everything about it. The articles, the strategic lessons, the tournament insights are all thrilling. Can't wait for the next issue!
Excellent production; color photographs, tournament news/updates, game annotations/analysis, endgames, studies, etc.
Very in depth....
Have already shared the magazine at our local chess club. All were impressed. Arrived in stellar condition.
Of all the chess magazines that I have seen in the past, ACM is by far the best. The magazine is really ABOUT chess.
ACM does a great job of covering American chess and Worldwide chess through an American lens.
In general, I do not recommend things. However, I am impressed by the magazine, and I wish it continued success.
I like the magazine so far. Everything and so informative for my taste. So far so good. Keep up the good work.
