American Chess Quarterly

First issue of the American Chess Quarterly (Summer 1961)

The American Chess Quarterly was a chess magazine that was published in the United States from Summer 1961[1] to 1965[2] by Nature Food Centres. The headquarters of the magazine was in Cambridge, MA.[3]

Sixteen issues were published, in four volumes of four issues each, from Summer 1961 through April–May-June 1965. The publication count is sometimes considered to be Seventeen issues because Volume One Number Three was a two-part issue.[4] Its principal editor was American grandmaster Larry Evans. Complete sets of the American Chess Quarterly magazine are becoming more difficult to acquire and typically command prices at auction in the $1,000-$2,000 range.
